Mass in Lockdown
During this second lockdown Masses with a congregation in church are not permitted. Each Sunday at 10:00am we are streaming Mass live from St Aidan's. We are also live streaming weekday Masses, usually at 10:00am but with occasional variation. Check the newsletter (below) for full details.
To join a live-streamed Mass from St Aidan's click on this link https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChRvjbRoua0tm5-9SDAEXXQ. You will also find recordings of previous Masses there.
The church will be open for private prayer on Sundays and Thursdays from 1:30pm to 2:30pm. Please be aware that face masks must be worn at all times in church and you should use the marked seats only.

Christmas Mass Bookings
Christmas Masses will be at 6:00pm and 11:30pm on Christmas Eve and 9:00am and 11:00am on Christmas Day. The number of places available in church will still be very limited at Christmas and so to avoid disappointment for people arriving at the church door there is an advance booking system.
The Christmas Eve 6:00pm and 11:30pm Masses are now booked up. Some places remain for the Christmas Day 9:00am and 11:00am Masses.
You can apply in any of the following ways:
- by email using this address – leonie@thewildings.eclipse.co.uk;
- by phone using this number – 07910 059141;
- on paper using a form which will be available in church during the church opening times.
Whichever way you choose to apply please ensure you give your name, phone number, your email address (if you have one), your first and second choice of Christmas Mass and the names of those of your household who wish to attend with you.
Applications are being processed as quickly as possible and places confirmed with a specific seat number. It is important to be clear about the number of household members attending together so that suitable seat clusters can be allocated to them.
