Worshippers in each home will be asked to begin their home church services at the usual time of 9.30am to create a sense of solidarity with other parishioners who will be acting similarly.
Each participating parishioner will be provided with readings, reflections and announcements by email and those without email will have this material delivered to their homes.
The Diocesan Bishop, Mark Short, will produce a reflection each week, and this can be accessed on youtube by those who have computer equipment.
Anyone requiring assistance can phone the Parish Office on 6385 3065 (please leave a message).

It is hoped that during the present difficult time, when most residents are practising isolation and social distancing, that this project will provide regular worshippers with the opportunity to practise their faith and maintain a continuing relationship with fellow parishioners, although at a distance.
Those who would like to participate in this parish project can contact Wardens Maurie May (0403 559 454) or Derrick Mason (0427 853 213).
