Please note that there will be NO preparation session on MONDAY, 10 AUGUST 2020.

Thank you and God Bless You.

 

Addressing some Fake News

Just a few stories that are doing the rounds that are false, and should NOT be believed.

First for a few weeks there has been the story of the parish being fined.  Fact: IT WAS NOT FINED. We were simply reminded of the need to carefully follow all regulations and the need of everyone’s cooperation in doing so.

Also the rumours of our priests being sick are greatly exaggerated. They ARE NOT, and the CHURCH IS STILL OPEN.  There was however a case at the SCHOOL.  It is too early to say what will be the consequences of that.

God Bless
Fr. Joseph Maria Buckley

Masks are now highly recommended to be worn at all Masses

On consideration of the most recent NSW Health advice, the Diocese of Parramatta highly recommends all worshippers at Masses in the Diocese to wear a mask to, during and from Mass and other services. We understand the inconvenience that masks may pose, but the health of our parishioners and the wider community is our highest concern.

We sincerely thank you for understanding, and for playing your part in keeping our community safe.
