All parishioners are invited to set aside 5 minutes each day to recite part of the Rosary together praying for the safety of everyone in the Parish. It is suggested that the TV and all phones be switched off. Have a simple Prayer Space set aside around which everyone can gather (table cloth, candle, crucifix or statue, holy water ). The Rosary has been a wonderful prayer for keeping the Faith alive in stressful times when people had no access to Mass. It is still a wonderful prayer. Rosary beads will be available at the church door.

The restrictive measures introduced by the health care authorities are vital measures to limit spread of the coronavirus. We all have a moral responsibility and a civic duty to respect them in detail in order to protect us and others.
The health authority’s norms on limiting attendance at indoor gatherings to 100 people and the norms regarding social distancing are strictly binding on all. No individual or parish has the authority to deviate from or redefine these norms. If there is any doubt or risk about arrangements, Mass should be cancelled.
All are dispensed from the obligation of physical presence at Sunday Mass. It should be explained to vulnerable people why they are to be discouraged from attending Mass.
Parishes should make adequate arrangements to enable people to prayerfully participate at Sunday Mass by radio and on-line.
Social distancing: For any event, including funerals, the norms regarding social distancing (people should be at a distance from each other of at least one metre) are obligatory. This is a vital health care norm as the virus can be most easily contracted by person to person contact. It applies also to the presence of people in Churches for private prayer.
