We are doing everything we can to try and keep our Parish community together, at least virtually (i.e. via the internet on phones, iPads, laptops and computers), and to continue
to offer comfort and support to one another in our community during this crisis. But we need everyone’s assistance and co-operation (very much including yours!) to make that happen as safely as possible now that restrictions have started to relax.
The restrictions in place are compulsory. The Chief Health Officer of Victoria has issued
a lawful direction as part of the current State of Emergency.
Face coverings/masks must be worn indoors and outdoors for everyone over 12 years
of age, unless there is a medical exemption.
Under no circumstances should anyone awaiting a COVID-19 test verification, including Clergy (even without presenting symptoms) attend a church or parish setting until
a diagnosis is confirmed. Additionally, under no circumstances should anyone attend who is closely connected to people who are awaiting test results or who have tested positive.
