UP TO DATE CONDITIONS FOR WORSHIP

From Friday, 12 February, the 2m² rule is reinstated. This doubles the limit of worshippers in the church to 330. The limit for weddings and funerals is capped at 300. Mask wearing is no longer mandatory. Singing is prohibited.

NSW Government policy requires that churchgoers register for Mass and other liturgies with their mobile phones through the Services NSW QR Code before entering the church. The Code is on the outside walls of the church near the side doors. Worshippers verify their QR registration to a doorkeeper. Those unable to use the QR code need to have their names ticked off (if pre-booked) or sign in (if not pre-booked). Please write clearly.

Sunday Masses

Sunday Mass churchgoers are asked to pre-register via the Parish website: www.cpasl.org.au. Online registrations close on Saturday at 12 noon. Pre-registering aids smooth and safe flow into the church. Churchgoers who have pre-registered still need to register through the QR mobile phone code. Those who have not pre-registered can be admitted to the church if pre-booking numbers are below 330.

Churchgoers are asked to sit in the numbered pews as has been the practice. If required, new arrivals can sit in unnumbered pews at a safe distance. Family members are not required to safe distance from each other.

Anyone unsure about online bookings can register through the Parish Office: secretary@allsaintsparishliverpool.org.au; 9753 6500; Sunday Mass registrations close on Friday at 12noon. The Office is staffed on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays.

Worshippers are asked to arrive 15 minutes before Masses to assist check-in.

Church doors close soon after Mass begins. Registered worshippers who realise that they will be late for Mass are asked not to come to church but to rebook. It is unfair to expect doorkeepers to accommodate latecomers. Doorkeepers are entitled to participate in worship.

Weekday Masses

Online pre-registrations for weekday Masses are not necessary. A

Churchgoers need to register through the mobile phone QR code outside the church or sign in if they are unable to use QR technology. Please write clearly.

Merciful God of hope and life, during this time of pandemic,

May we hold to attitudes and behaviours that profess our faith in Jesus Christ,

May we act with care and responsibility to keep our community safe,

May we be beacons of hope to those feeling overwhelmed and fearful.

Heal those who are infected by the virus,

Guide healthcare professionals and researchers in their work,

Inspire politicians, business and community leaders by your wisdom,

Bring those who have died to yourself and comfort their loved ones.

We make this prayer through Our Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.

Mary, Mother of God. Pray for us.

All Saints. Pray for us.
