In the midst of the rioted area, the Church of St Mary the virgin, Tottenham the man in charge The assistant curate Simon Morris has written to the local community the following letter.
Dear Friends,
This is to assure you all that Masses and other services will happen at both churches as normal.
At S. Mary's we are currently providing food and drink to people who have lost homes, who have had no electricity and who are working on the old Carpet Right building. If people feel able to help, then please make your way to S. Mary's. I am very grateful to those who have kept this going since yesterday morning.
On Sunday 14th August, we will have a procession during the 10am Mass to make God's presence known on these streets that have seen such violence.
10am Mass will be followed by a Bring and Share lunch to cheer us up and to demonstrate that we are not broken by the violent acts of others. Please make every effort to come along. I do not know whether the crossroads at Lansdowne Road will be open or not, but entry to the Church is still possible from the other side of Lansdowne Road.
Wishing you very blessing.
PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO AS MANY PEOPLE AS YOU CAN AND ENCOURAGE THEM TO COME ON SUNDAY FOR MASS AND LUNCH!!!
Fr S.J. Morris
Assistant Curate,
