Re-opening Plans

Bishop Kevin has given approval for St Mary’s to begin to re-open from Sunday 16 August 2020. He has approved the re-opening plan that was prepared by the St Mary’s Compliance Group.

In the intial phase of re-opening there will be two services a week, both on a Sunday morning. These services will take place at 9 am and 11 am and will be kept this week as the Feast of the Assumption.

The capacity for these services will be 50 people. Those wishing to attend will need to book a space. Details of how to book will be made public on Friday. Before Friday, the People’s Warden will be trying to contact those whom we know who have had no internet access to services, to offer them a priority booking.

Online Worship will continue for those who do not feel they can attend in-person worship at this time.

After a couple of weeks of services taking place in the cathedral building, the next priority will be to enable services for those who have been waiting for a baptism for many months.

At this time it is still not possible to offer any events or activities in the Synod Hall.

More details of how to book for services and some more detail about what those services will be like on Friday 14 August 2020.

Information about booking will be sent to everyone on the cathedral email list. There is a sign-up form for this on this website.

Online Survey – August 2020

Congregational Survey - August 2020

A re-opening plan is currently being devised by members of the Vestry that will be submitted to Bishop Kevin in order to seek permission to re-establish some services in the cathedral building. The Scottish Government and the Scottish Episcopal Church require such things as hand sanitizer being available and used, 2 meter distancing in church, face masks being worn and clear protocols about entering and leaving the building and about receiving communion. At the moment, music can only be from instruments that are not blown by the mouth and only one singer is permitted. After a service a congregation is required to disperse. Church buildings have to be cleaned before and after use. Services are likely to be shorter than our busiest services used to be and will be limited to 50 people in the building at any one time.

It is clear that not everyone who used to attend the cathedral in person will feel able to come to services at the moment and some form of online worship will continue. Initially provision will focus on Sunday worship and services to allow the baptisms of those who have been waiting to be baptised. Re-opening other services and activities will be a gradual process. The re-opening activities will be kept under review and the pattern of what is possible in church will depend on the levels of the covid crisis, government and church guidelines and the capacity of both members of staff and volunteers.

This survey is to help in planning the next few months.

Please fill in this survey for yourself as an individual. If there is anyone else in your household who relates to St Mary's then please ask them to fill it in themselves.
