GENERAL NOTICE FOR ALL (MARCH 2020)
With the coronavirus escalating in the UK, we are facing a growing and evolving challenge to respond to the crisis. Our trustees have asked us to cancel our bookings until the end of May, in order to protect our employees and guests from contracting the virus. Our concern is very much for those who are vulnerable due to age related illnesses too. If the situation aggravates, we may have to prolong our period of closure until further notice.
We do understand that this is a difficult time for all, but we think that it is better to be safe than sorry. Many of the groups booked with us have already cancelled their bookings for the coming months. We are aware that this is going to put everyone's finances in jeopardy, so we are willing to hold your deposit for a later date when the situation improves and people are safe to travel again.
From 22nd March 2020 onwards, there will be no celebration of Masses at the Centre until further notice. We take this opportunity to thank all our guests, benefactors, and well-wishers for your patience and continuous support in enabling us to render service to the people, especially those in dire need. Please join us in praying for people around the world who are ill, those who have been afflicted by the coronavirus and those who have lost loved ones.
GOD BLESS,
From the Community of the Franciscan Sisters.
