St Oswald's Burghfield Common

For weekday Masses please see the current newsletter which is available on this website on the "home" page.
We need to continue to observe the following guidelines when attending Mass:-
Don't attend if you or a member of your household is unwell with a cold, flu-like illness, cough or fever. Stay at home and follow one of the live-streamed Masses if you can at https://www.portsmouthdiocese.org.uk/live-mass
Use the automatic hand sanitizer provided when entering and leaving the church (or use your own sanitizer).
There will be a box for offertory and other collections at the entrance to St Michael's Church and the exit of St Oswald's.
These measures are to make sure everyone feels safe when attending church. Let us all work together, follow the guidelines and be considerate of each other as we celebrate together in thanksgiving to God for the gift of the Eucharist.
We're the Catholic community of Tadley, Mortimer, Burghfield Common, Kingsclere and the villages around.
We aim to be friendly, welcoming and strong in our faith.
We invite you to join us in prayer and worship. We're proud of our Catholic Faith in the risen Christ and are keen to share it with you!
We have two churches - St Michael's in Tadley and St Oswald's in Burghfield Common.
Sunday Mass is celebrated at 9am at St Michael's Tadley, and 11am at St Oswald's, Burghfield Common.
Please check the latest newsletter for weekday Masses and any changes to Sunday Mass times for special events.
Our parish priest is Father Patrick Tansey.
