As lockdown restrictions are eased, members of our community could still be feeling isolated. If you are in need of practical help, or if you just want to chat, please contact Fr Andrew on parish.priest@stcuthberts-durham.org.uk or 0191 384 3442. If you know of someone who needs support, please contact them, or let Fr Andrew know.
Parish bulletins and Catholic newspapers will be available for collection in a box outside the church door. Please pick up a copy of the bulletin and put it through the letterbox of a friend or neighbour who might not be able to get out.
Mass by Telephone: The Diocese of Middlesbrough has set up a system to allow people who do not have internet access to listen to Mass over the telephone. This service can be accessed by calling 01642 130120.
Hospital Visits: If a family member or friend is a patient in the University Hospital of North Durham, please let the Catholic Hospital Chaplain, Fr Paul Tully, know on 01388 818544 or frpaultully@yahoo.com The chaplain can visit patients to bring them Holy Communion and the Sacrament of the Sick, but ward staff may not know that a patient is a Catholic and wishes to see the chaplain.
