Confessions resuming at Mayo church

CONFESSIONS are resuming at St. Mary's Church in Westport this morning (Wednesday).

Confessions will be heard from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

A social media post on the re-introduction of the sacrament yesterday evening explained: 'We have implemented new social distance measures, including placing perspex on the kneelers which have been reupholstered in leather, and are offering tomorrow on a trial basis. Please wipe before each use.

'Single use gloves are available which must be disposed of after use.

'Please be patient with us as we try to reintroduce the sacraments and protect public health.'
