| IMPORTANT NOTICES (updated 14 September 2021) |
| SYDNEY COVID 19 RESTRICTIONS: The Greater Sydney lockdown will only be lifted when 70% of adults have received their second vaccination – probably towards the end of October. All churches in the Sydney region remain closed until the lockdown is lifted. Therefore, no Sunday or weekday Masses can be celebrated; all other celebrations, such as Baptisms, remain suspended. No bookings can be taken for Baptisms until the current restrictions are lifted. FUNERALS: Funerals are permitted with ten people present. WEDDINGS: Weddings are possible (from 3 September) with only five guests present. That number does not include the celebrant, the bride and groom and two witnesses. Others can also be involved, such as a photographer, a singer and an organist – more details are still to be released. The normal Government and Church requirements for notice still apply. LIVE STREAMING: The regulations do allow for a Mass to be live-streamed. The 9.30 am Sunday Mass each week is being live streamed to the parish YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLOawxfUmJ6XjHJZcqsR2_A It is also possible to view the Mass on Facebook at St Mary’s Parish Church Concord. The Mass can also be viewed later on both platforms. 1st HOLY COMMUNION: Due to the ongoing lockdown, the celebrations of 1st Holy Communion have been postponed. No new dates can be set until the present lockdown is lifted. For more information go to the Sacraments tab and look under Holy Communion. MASS AT ST MARY’S CONCORD: All Masses are currently suspended. |
