Welcome to St John's Gravesend

Many parishioners have expressed concerns in the light of increasing infection rate especially in our local area. In line with the government and the Bishop’s Conference of England and Wales advise to act carefully and responsibly, St John’s Parish would for now encourage that we keep our usual reasonable safety measures in place.

We shall try to continue to improve on the air circulation especially during the summer months.

Let us continue to listen to experts regarding having to learn to live with covid just like we do with flu and cold.

We remain grateful to our stewards for their generosity and sacrifices; we welcome our youths into the welcoming ministry.

We welcome those who would like to receive Communion in the tongue; it will help if they come towards the end of the line.

The Church will now be open from 8.00am to 5.00pm during the week days for private prayers; the sanitizers, and the QR locations will be well signed.

While we try to ensure the safety of all, our hope is that we shall try to accommodate everyone who make effort to come for Mass; it is been quite difficult having to turn anyone away especially at the 10.30am Mass. We continue to encourage considering one of the other weekend Masses aside the 10.30am. If need be, the ribbons on the last two left hand benches will be removed to enable us to seat more people. May God continue to keep us safe. Wishing all a lovely summer.
