Prayer for Blessings in the Year Ahead
Father, thank you for your great love and blessing over our lives and that your favour has no end, but it lasts for our entire lifetime. Forgive us for sometimes forgetting that you are intimately acquainted with all of our ways, that you know what concerns us, and you cover us as with a shield. We ask that we walk in your blessing and goodness today. That your face would shine on us. That you would open the right doors for our lives and for our loved ones, that you would close the wrong doors and protect us from those we need to walk away from. Establish the work of our hands and bring to fulfilment all that you have given us to do in these days. We pray that you would make our way purposeful and our footsteps firm out of your goodness and love. Give us a heart of wisdom to hear your voice and make us strong by your favour and grace. In Jesus' name, Amen.
I pray God's blessing on each one of you as we move into 2021. A happy and blessed and healthy New Year.
Fr Geoff
COVID-19 RESTRICTIONS UPDATE: 6th December 2020
Well all masses are back, no bookings and we are now allowed 1 person per 2sqm with each person 1.5m apart (social distancing). This means some pews are still taped off and still only 3 adults per pew, unless you are a family, which can sit together. But we can now fit 133 in church.
During the week: Doors to the Church are open early as they used to be, so feel free to enter and pray but you must still sanitise and sign in or QR Code phone scan in. The seats need sanitising after each Mass so stay and help if you can?
Weekend Masses: Because numbers are bigger, there will be a Mass usher, who will be counting people in the Church and when maximum number reached the Church doors will be closed. Again it is compulsory to sign in or QR phone Code register and sani-tise hands plus KEEP MASKS ON! Yes, as you will in a larger number and amongst strangers for a prolonged period of time you are to keep masks on inside the church. Again, we need people to assist in sanitising pews after Mass, pleas help if you can?
For WEEKDAY & WEEKEND Masses: NO bookings - First 133
