Diocese of Westminster Annual Repor t & Accounts 2021
Worship and service in the second year of the pandemic Where 2020 brought a sense of loss and sadness as everything moved online, in 2021 there was a determination to return to some semblance of normal activity, albeit in small steps. Even some larger diocesan celebrations, such as the Mass for Matrimony and the Chrism Mass, could take place once more, even if the numbers who could gather were small.

DESPITE THE CONTINUED uncertainty created by the pandemic, parish and school communities persisted in their efforts to worship, minister, educate, serve those in need, and strive to make the Kingdom of God present on earth. In parishes, schools and offices across the diocese, people adapted to changing hygiene and social distancing rules to resume the day-to-day life of the Church and to serve society.
