CORONA VIRUS UPDATE – MASS CLOSURES

Posted by on Mar 21, 2020 in News & Events | 0 comments

AS A RESULT OF  THE BANNING OF INDOOR GATHERING OF 100 OR MORE PEOPLE DUE TO COVID-19, THE BISHOP HAS DECREED THAT

NO SUNDAY MASSES WILL BE CELEBRATED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE COMMENCING FROM SUNDAY 22 MARCH 2020.

NO WEEKDAY MASSES  WILL  BE CELEBRATED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.

NO MASSES OR COMMUNION SERVICES WILL BE CELEBRATED AT AGED CARE FACILITIES UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.

Funerals can only be held at the graveside and only with immediate family members.  This too may be restricted.

Baptisms and Weddings will, at this stage, not go ahead.

The Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick and Viaticum will be offered as long as Fr Anthony is permitted to do so by the authorities.

It is with great sadness that we undertake these measures but the health and well-being of our parishioners, our families and our community is paramount.
