Due to changes in maximun number of allowed at Mass we have added additional Masses in the Hall for Sundays at 9.30am and 11.00am. These will be celebrated by a Priest and there will be option to book on Trybooking.
WORSHIP AND PRAYER ARRANGEMENTS
(updated on 2 January 2021)
From Monday, 4 December, the maximum number allowed for services in places of worship is 100, subject to the “4m2 Rule”.
Facemasks are now compulsory.
Sunday Masses
Worshippers are asked to sit in the numbered pews, leaving in-between pews vacant and observing proper social distancing. Family members are not required to safe distance from each other.
Other Government and Church instructions remain:
· a COVID 19 Safety Plan for each place of worship;
· registration of all worshippers;
· disciplined practice of hand sanitisation;
· cleaning of seats and pews after events.
Worshippers are urged to pre-register online for Sunday Masses via the Parish website: www.cpasl.org.au. Online registrations close on Saturday at 12 noon.
Anyone unsure about online bookings can register through the Parish Office: 9753 6500; secretary@allsaintsparishliverpool.org.au. Registrations for Sunday Masses close on Friday at 12noon. This service reopens this Tuesday, 5 January.
Worshippers are asked to arrive 15 minutes before Masses to assist the check-in process.
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 registration is no longer used for weekday Masses. Registrations are made at the church door either by QR code or by sign in. Please print details clearly.

All Saints Parish Prayer during the Pandemic
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.
