FROM OUR PARISH PRIEST, FR DAVID PASCOE
Yesterday, 19th March, Archbishop Mark wrote to all the priests and people of the Archdiocese in terms of our entering uncharted waters in anxious times. We like so many people in our country and the world are faced with significant issues as a result of the Covid19 virus. First and foremost, it now means that we are unable to gather for Mass on Sunday. This will be immensely difficult for us. However, we are still able to come together during the week for mass, that is while observing the current restrictions and precautions. We give thanks for these opportunities. There is more information on this site; (see resources below).
Equally importantly, we will need to care for each other in all the circumstances of our lives, especially aware of those particularly vulnerable in our community. In all this we know that we are not alone, that God’s love holds us together, and offers us the Living Water of Jesus’ Risen presence in the life-giving ways of the Spirit. Let us pray for each other, and offer Prayers of intercession for an end to the pandemic and for the safety of all.
Peace be with you all. Fr David
