"O Emmanuel" - welcoming the one who is "God-with-us"


"O Emmanuel!" We look forward to the coming of the one who is "God-with-us." A live-streamed Eucharist from St. Cuthbert's Church, Shotley Bridge at the end of Advent - and intended especially for those who are unable to be with us in church at Christmas.

Join us, if you can, in church. We're sorry to say that our 4pm Christmas Eve Carol Service is fully booked - and so is the 8pm Vigil Mass at St. John's. However, we expect to have plenty of capacity for the 10pm "Midnight Mass" of Christmas Night (Midnight Bethlehem time!) and the 9.30am Parish Eucharist - both in St. Cuthbert's. Face coverings, social distancing etc, but you don't need to book for these.

No services in either church on Sunday - but our regular pattern of worship resumes with midweek Eucharists next week.

We wish you every blessing of peace and joy!
