Bishop Anthony Randazzo, Bishop of Broken Bay has now directed the resumption of public Masses in the Diocese of Broken Bay. Therefore, as of today, Monday 18 October 2021, our parish has reinstated our ordinary schedule of Masses.
Places of Public Worship are exempt from the requirement of vaccination. Given that both vaccinated and unvaccinated may be present at Masses, it will be up to each individual to discern what may be in the best interests of their safety and that of their families. Bishop Anthony recognises that for a number of our people now will not be the time to return to the public celebration of Masses in our churches and has therefore continued to suspend the Sunday Obligation until 1 December 2021.
As we need to follow all the NSW Government COVID safety requirements, will we be using Trybooking to book your place for our weekend Masses. You will also need a mask for Mass and refrain from congregational singing.
Please also be aware that everyone must use the QR code to check in and it is no longer sufficient for people to record their names and contact details in writing. If you do not have a smartphone, check in will need to be done through a personal COVID check-in card that will need to be scanned as you enter the church. If you need any help getting your card from Service NSW, please contact the parish office and we will assist you.
We are very excited to be able to resume our public Masses and look forward to seeing you in our Churches very soon.
