A reflection by Dr Mario Baghos on the feast of the 'Life-Giving Spring' which is celebrated today.
COVID RESTRICTIONS FOR CHURCHES
This is the latest advice we have received from the Archdiocese:
“As of 12.00 pm today until 12.01 am Monday, 10 May for the Greater Sydney region (including Wollongong, Central Coast and Blue Mountains), face masks are to be worn inside places of worship and social distancing rules are to be adhered at all times.” This means that on this Sunday, masks are mandatory in our Church. Children 12 and under do not have to wear masks.
We understand your frustration, it is an inconvenience that we all have to bear for the health of the wider community.
We kindly request that people with even the mildest symptoms, such as headache, fatigue, cough, sore throat or runny nose, avoid coming to Church and to immediately get tested.
We thank you for your patience and understanding!
