Important Information COVID-19
Olton Friary is obliged to launch full Contact Tracing for the Church and Hall. We have implemented Contact Tracing built on the NHS Covid-19 Smartphone App supplemented by a Parish Online Form. All parishioners must register their attendance each time they visit the Friary.
Please read the full parish guidance on our Parish COVID-19 page: Olton Friary COVID-19 Page
To register your attendance using the parish form please follow this link: COVID-19 Track and Trace Form
To download the NHS COVID-19 SmartPhone app please follow this link on a smartphone only: NHS COVID-19 App
IMPORTANT UPDATE National Lockdown
Each individual from a single household must register with their own NHS COVID-19 smartphone app. This is because an instruction to isolate from the app is delivered to an individual and therefore cannot be used collectively for a household. If only one person has the app and gets an isolate alert any person at church with them in the same family or support bubble also needs to isolate. With the transmissibility of the virus greatly increased with the new varient it is vitally important to follow this guidance.

A Message from Fr. Biju
- Hello, and a very warm welcome to the web site of the 'Church of the Holy Ghost and Mary Immaculate', Olton, known as 'Olton Friary'!
I am happy to extend a warm personal welcome to both parishioners and visitors through our web site. I hope that as you browse these digital pages it allows you to gain a snapshot of our life as a Parish Community; to see some of the many ministries and activities that make up our dynamic parish.
The message of the 'Gospel of Christ' and the liturgy, equips us not only to promote the values of the Gospel, but to live and share them with our brothers and sisters. We have many groups of people within our parish, who dedicate their time, energy and resources, to work together, to proclaim the mission of the Catholic Church in our local community.
I hope that you find this web site beneficial. 'Where two or three are gathered in Jesus' name, there he is present amongst them' (Mt.18:20) May the presence of the Lord bless and guide our thoughts, prayers and actions.
Fr. Biju Antony Panthalookaran
SCJ Parish Priest
