COVID-19 General Update
Tier 3 (for parishes previously in Tier 4)
As are you aware the parishes that were formerly in Tier 4 (everywhere apart from Cardross, Helensburgh & Roseneath) moved to Tier 3 from Friday evening.
This means that those parishes can return to having a socially-distanced maximum of 50 (unless the size of your church necessitates a lower maximum). This applies to all acts of worship and private prayer, except funerals and weddings. The maximum of 20 still applies to funerals and weddings.
Groups – such as children’s activities – which were allowed prior to moving to Tier 4 can now restart again.
People may travel into and out of Tier 3 areas to go to their normal place of worship and to attend a wedding or a funeral.
Christmas (for all parishes)
Unless there are sudden changes, it is likely that the current situation will continue for the Christmas period. The maximum attendance at Christmas Masses will likely be 50 at each Mass (+ “staff”).
Under the Christmas Bubble guidance, households which form a Christmas Bubble can sit together in church (in some small churches which cannot normally accommodate 50 this might lead to a slightly higher capacity).
Carol concerts, etc., cannot take place, although a cantor can still sing and musicians still play as part of worship.
