COVID-19 RESTRICTIONS UPDATE
Hello everyone,
We are all aware of the seriousness of COVID-19 and the efforts to control its spread, which I commend the Andrews Government in doing as effectively as they already have. However, things don’t always go to plan and because of the ever present risk of an outbreak and the speed by which this virus spreads, we have been asked to remain at restrictions of 20 people. But it is wrong to blame anyone. I’m sure the Government is just as disappointed as we all are, that restrictions couldn’t be eased yet.
As previously announced we did plan for 50 people at weekend Masses. We had started taking bookings and these filled pretty quickly. Then we had to notify some, already booked, that the restrictions had gone back to 20, so their booking was cancelled. This is NO ONES FAULT! This is a pandemic, which the whole World is suffering from and restrictions are there for all our benefits. Consider if you will, the 103 Australians who have died from it - there but for the grace of God go I.
So, I am sorry until further notice, weekend Masses will remain cancelled.
Our video Mass will continue and let’s keep praying for these restrictions to be eased quickly.
And stay calm everyone - remember; we are Christians and enduring suffering is part of our calling.
Blessings
