COVID-19 Update Friday 7th of May 2021
- Masks are now compulsory and there is to be no singing in the congregation between 6 May - midnight 10 May.
- We are currently using the social distance of one person per 2square meters. This excludes essential persons to the Liturgy. Please use the signs on the pews.
- Those who have visited a recent hotspot, 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 Facebook live stream at 10am on Sundays.
- Please scan the Service NSW QR code outside the church or see the Door Volunteers who will take your details electronically - these will be kept confidential- but are necessary in case anyone contracts the virus.
- Please sanitise your hands as soon as you enter the church.
- Ministers/volunteers who are essential to the Liturgy must arrive and sign on at least 15 minutes before Mass starting.
- Groups of 5 or more are to sit in the smaller pews, please follow the directions of the volunteers to socially distance. There is no standing permitted.
- Those who enter a long pew first should occupy the central seat, 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.
- Once we have reached maximum capacity or the Mass has started, there will be no entry into the Church.
- Parishioners can choose to remain socially distanced outside whilst listening to Mass and receive communion outside.
- The sign of peace will be exchanged without physical contact.
- We may now process down the aisles for Communion, making sure we keep a distance from the person in front of us. Communion should be received only in the hand.
- 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.
- 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.
