The Catholic Church in England and Wales stands in solidarity with all European citizens who have made their homes here.

They are a valued part of our parishes, schools and communities.

All EU, EEA and Swiss citizens living in the UK are required by the government to apply through its Settlement Scheme to continue living, working and accessing services here.

The deadline for applications is June 30 2021. Details and links to the application process can be found at gov.uk/eusettledstatus.

Please bring this to the attention of friends, family members and fellow parishioners who may need to apply.

Information on assistance for those who may have difficulty applying is available at gov.uk/help-eu-settlement-scheme.
