 ALL ATTENDEES - when arriving at the Church
On arriving at the church you will be required to present yourself to the Marshals.  You will be required to scan the 'Qld Check In App'.  Once the tick is shown please show this to the Marshal and you will be able to enter the Church and sanitise you hands.  We ask that you also exit by the assigned door of the Church as directed by the MC. On exiting you will again be asked to sanitise your hands.
Timing will be the key to the success of our entrance and cleaning protocols. You are expected to arrive at Church 15 minutes earlier and leave the Church soon after Mass finishes. This enables volunteers to clean all the touched surfaces. Thank you.

NEW GUIDELINES UNDER COVID-19
Indoor places of worship: 

From 4pm Friday 24 Septeher 2021 the Queensland Government that there has been a slight easing of rules in relation to mask wearing.  As of 4pm on Friday 24th September 2021, the following mask wearing rules apply:  
  •  Indoors (including places of worship): Masks can now be removed whilst you are seated, or if you can stay 1.5m apart from other people, or if you are eating/drinking (including if you are standing to eat/drink). Masks should remain on at all other times while indoors.
  • Outdoors: you must wear a mask when you are standing and unable to stay 1.5m apart from people who are not part of your household. You do not have to wear a mask while seated.
  • If parishioners move from their seat (for example, to stand for Communion or to enter/exit the church) they need to be wearing a mask.  The mask may be removed only while parishioners are seated or when they able to remain 1.5m apart. 
  • Parishes are asked to be mindful of the health advice that singing is a high risk activity and therefore choir members should distance in excess of 1.5 metres as much as possible.  
 
All other restrictions remain in place, with no changes to the occupancy restrictions. 
  • Weddings and Funerals, when held indoors, will return to one person per 2 square metres or 200 people, whichever number is lower.
  •  Food Service: There are no restrictions on self-service food; eating and drinking while standing is allowed.
  • Mask wearing requirements will continue to apply until 4pm Friday the 08th October 2021. You must carry a face mask with you at all times when you leave home, unless you have a lawful reason not to.
  • Singing is a high risk activity due to the transmission of droplets therefore:
  • Choirs will be required to keep their masks on at all times during the liturgy.
  • A single cantor, who is significantly socially distanced at 7 metres or more from the congregation, may remove his or her mask while singing and then put it back on. 
  • Taking Holy Communion to the Homebound: At present, outside of the limit of up to 100 people being allowed to gather in a private home, there are no further restrictions for priests or lay people to enter people’s homes to provide Holy Communion. The priest or lay person should continue to observe the standard hand hygiene protocols and should wear a mask when they cannot maintain a 1.5 metre distance from other people in the home.
  •  Visitor restrictions for vulnerable person facilities (hospitals, aged care and disability accommodation services) will continue to apply.  Please contact the facility to receive directives regarding visitation.
Please remember to stay vigilant during this time.  
    
​In the meantime if you listen to your favorite music on Spotify did you know you can search for 'As One Voice' and then listen to all our favorite hymns?  Hymns are a form for prayer so you can be going about your daily routine listening to the hymns.  I find this very uplifting for my soul.  Keep connected with your God.

If you need help of any kind please do not hesitate to contact us at the office 3299 2000.           Parish Office

Children of all ages are welcome to attend.  We have two age groups:  (a) 2 ½ years to 6 years; (b) 7 to 11 years.  Each group has a Leader and there are usually helpers who assist the leader.

The children are taken from the Church, at the start of Mass, down to the Hall for their own special Liturgy.  They are brought back to the Church before Communion.They are held fortnightly,please view our Newsletter for current dates.
