Guidance for step four has now been published. It consists of detailed information for everything connected to the practice of Catholics together with a statement from the Catholic Bishops of England – “Sunday – It Is Our Day”.
Bishop Richard has also written “The wearing of face coverings is a protection for others. I urge most strongly that face coverings continue to be worn during the course of celebrations.”
