The Catholic Churches in the Lune Valley
Welcome to the Catholic Parishes of St Mary, Hornby and St Joseph, Kirkby Lonsdale
Mass During Lockdown
The guidance on the new lockdown has been published by the Government. According to what they have published, public worship can continue as long as we follow our guidelines and do not mingle both inside and outside the church.
The Government at present has said that it is a legitimate reason to leave your homes to come to Mass. However, if you are in the shielding category please follow guidance from the NHS and Masses will continue to be live-streamed regardless.
