This poses a danger particularly to vulnerable members of our community. It is spread by physical contact. We have a duty to protect each other by good general hygiene, especially washing hands frequently and thoroughly. If we have coronavirus -or cold/flu like symptoms, we should stay away from gatherings. The Diocese of Paisley will implement the following from FRIDAY 6th MARCH for parishioners. (1) Holy water fonts will be emptied; (2) The Sign of Peace will be suspended; (3) Distribution of the Precious Blood among the faithful will be suspended; (4) Holy Communion will be distributed on the hand or tongue. If receiving on the tongue, present yourself with mouth wide open and tongue extended to minimise finger contact from the minister. If receiving by hand, thoroughly wash your hands and extend them wide open for the host to be placed with minimum contact. Other guidelines are in place for parish workers and volunteers. Thank you for your co-operation.
