To all parishioners,
The parish leadership team would like to emphasis the rules (not our rules) around our Church reopening based on the directions from the Chief Medical Officer, Victorian Government and the Archbishop.
The Church has the capacity to allow 70 attendees at each Mass. A QR code is available for those who wish to use it, however registrations are still a requirement.
1. Masks are mandatory inside the Church at all times unless you have a medical exemption (please provide proof).
2. Mass bookings are essential, however for those people who have attended a regular Mass over the last 4 weeks, you do not need to keep registering unless you cannot attend or wish to change your preferred Mass.
3. You must contact the person coordinating your preferred Mass, 6.00pm Bernadette Brown on 0447473138, 9.00am Marg Vallence 0403568302, 11.00am Adriana De Leo on 9723 4275, to make these changes. This will allow others to attend given the limited capacity of our Church.
4. Mass attendance lists are prepared each Friday, the person on the list is the person that needs to attend Mass and not substituted with another person{s}.
5. Father Joseph is too busy with Confirmations and Christmas preparations to be involved in booking Masses, please do not ring, text or email him for Mass bookings or changes, please follow the advice above about the contacts for each Mass (item 3).
6. Everyone attending Mass must sanitize their hands on entering the Church and ensure they are seated in the pews where marked X, couples and family groups (who share a household) can sit together ensuring 1.5 meters distance from others sharing a row.
7. The main entrance door to the Church will be locked at 6.00pm, 9.00am and 11.00am, so please ensure you arrive at least five minutes before Mass time.
8. All people must exit the Church through the side doors.
We ask that you strictly adhere to this advice to ensure that we can safely remain open as well as supporting the health and wellbeing of all parishioners.
WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER as long as we all do the right thing.
