Covid 19 – Update for Parishioners
Masses
Dear Fellow Parishioners,
We have received advice from the Archdiocese regarding attendances at our Masses.
MASKS are recommended at all indoor Masses.
Hand sanitizing before and after Masses.
People should not gather in the foyer after Masses, but can meet up outside in the open air.
The parish leadership team acknowledges that this again can be challenging time for you all, however this is more an awareness/precaution rather than a condition.
This recommendation is made to protect not only ourselves, but our more vulnerable and elderly parishioners. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we continue to adhere to our Covidsafe Plan.
Parish Leadership Team
