Coronovirus update

St Benedict’s and the Venerable Bede are following the instructions

from the Government and the Archbishop of Canterbury.

To help prevent the further spread of the coronavirus our churches are closed.

Our Parish Office is also closed but weddings and baptisms can be

arranged or rearranged either by email office@stbenedictbiscop.org.uk or by telephone 07956 635498.

Funerals can take place at the Crematorium or at the graveside.

Please observe the recommended restrictions that only immediate family members can attend (if the crematorium allows) – that is, spouse or partner, parents and children, keeping their distance in the prescribed way. Leaflets to enable those not able to attend are available on request from the Parish Office

Prayer requests can be telephoned or set by email to the Rector
