Covid-19 crisis and worship 
 
 
Mindful of the Governments guidance on social distancing, following the statement from the HE Cardinal Sarah yesterday in relation to the ceremonies of Holy Week,  and taking into account the actions of many of the major Christian denominations, the trustees of the congregation have decided that until further notice all Masses will be private.
 
The daily Offices of Morning, Midday, & Evening Prayer will continue in their usual pattern .
 
The Mass will be offered in private as frequently as circumstances permit. The Town Bell will be rung five minutes before Mass is celebrated giving notice to the faithful that the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass  is about to be offered for them.

Mission Statement

We, the congregation dedicated to Saint Bride, and worshipping in Greyfriars Church, Dumfries, are part of the one Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church.  We affirm the Faith of the Church as revealed in Scripture and Tradition.  We work as part of the Scottish Anglican Network.

We proclaim our faith through the Creeds, the Sacraments and the apostolic ministry of bishops and priests of the Universal Church.  We seek a guaranteed ecclesial structure in which we can pass the faith onto our children and grandchildren. 

When the New Religion doctrines of the Ordination of women to the priesthood/episcopate and Lay celebration of the Sacraments were adopted by the Scottish Episcopal Church, no provision was made for those who wished to adhere to the historic faith of the Church.  At Saint Bride's the worship is traditional and is conducted by validly and regularly ordained male Anglican priests according to traditional rites.

All are welcome at our worship.  If you are a baptised Christian and wish to receive communion, please speak to the Priest prior to the service.  We do not operate a policy of open communion.
