Important COVID-19 Update
FROM OUR PARISH PRIEST, FR DAVID PASCOE
The Federal Government have required suspension of all public worship as of noon today 23rd March 2020. Weekday masses will NOT be held and Friday Stations of the Cross are cancelled immediately. Please keep referring to our Facebook page and this website for more resources and updates.
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

What is a Dispensation from Mass?
A dispensation from the diocesan Bishop releases Catholics from fulfilling their Sunday obligation (Mass). Since public Masses are cancelled in the Archdiocese until further notice, this means that the right thing to do is to stay home for your safety and the safety of others. Though there is a sadness for not being able to participate at Mass, one should not feel guilty for not going to Mass. You have a free conscience to stay home.
