Letter from Archbishop Anthony Fisher RE: Catholic Cemeteries
Covid Update : Restrictions – the current rules
- Easing of restrictions –
- Masks are no longer necessary when attending churches.
- Congregational singing is permitted.
- Singers or choir members should still remain 1.5 metres away from each other and from members of the congregation.
- There is no limit on how many people can attend Masses, weddings, funerals and other religious services subject to observing the 2m2 rule. This does not include the celebrant or church workers. Families can sit together, but if people do not belong in the same household, they must observe physical distancing of 1.5 metres. Parishes should have public signs with advice on this or have ushers or people assisting at Masses.
- Avoid congestion before or after Mass – have strategies in place for managing people entering or leaving the Church. Attendees should also maintain a safe distance when lining up for communion.
The same rules apply to Masses and other religious services held outdoors on Parish premises.
Scam :
Please take note that someone claiming to be the Parish Priest/Fr Sebastian is messaging people on WhatsApp asking them to text back and requesting they send funds and gift vouchers to them. The number of parishes caught up in this scam has increased and is becoming more widespread within the Diocese. We reiterate that one of the numbers used for the text messages is 0488 875 092. THIS IS A FALSE ACCOUNT. Please DO NOT respond to the text messages received from this number but call or contact the Parish Office or Priest instead to verify the sender of the messages as well as report the incident.
