COVID-19 UPDATE
We are now able to accommodate more people in the Church using the social distance of 2square meters. This excludes essential persons to the Liturgy.
Please scan the Service NSW QR code outside the church or leave your name and contact details on the sign-on sheet - these will be kept confidential- but are necessary in case anyone contracts the virus.
Ministers/volunteers who are essential to the Liturgy must arrive and sign on at least 15 minutes prior to Mass starting.
Please sanitize your hands as soon as you enter the church.
There will be one extra Mass at 10 am in the Parish Hall on Sunday if there is an overflow in the Church. The hall allows a maximum of 100 parishioners on Sundays at 10 am.
Once we have reached maximum capacity or the Mass has started, there will be no entry into the Church. Parishioners will be redirected to Mass in the Hall if available or can choose to remain socially distanced outside whilst listening to Mass and receive communion outside.
The aisles and pews are marked to facilitate the observance of social distancing practices. Please only sit where it is marked with a number on the pews. Groups to sit in smaller pews. There is no standing permitted.
Please occupy the central seat of pews first, starting from the front pews of the church, so that others who come after you will be able to occupy the aisles while observing social distancing.
The congregation should not participate in any singing or chanting.
The sign of peace will be exchanged without physical contact.
During the communion, social distancing will be observed and therefore communion will be brought to your seat.
Communion should be received only in the hand.
Only one acolyte/ senior server and one extra-ordinary minister of communion is required other than priests/ deacon to serve during the Mass.
Wardens have resumed taking up the 1st and 2nd collection. The collection baskets now have long handles to minimise contact. Thank you for your stewardship.
As you prepare to exit the church please exit starting with the rows that are closest to the entrances.
It is important for everyone to maintain physical distancing and follow all health and safety guidelines. Our utmost concern is the health and well being of our parishioners. Therefore, those who are feeling ill, or who have symptoms of fever, cold, dry cough or sore throat should not come out to attend Mass but watch our live stream Mass at 10am on Sundays.
There is a separate QR Code for the Church, Hall and Parish Office. You must sign in to those areas, each time you enter.
The obligation to participate in Sunday Mass is still lifted.
