IMPORTANT NOTICE
Our response changes to COVID-19
In light of the latest development of the Federal Government’s ban on ‘non-essential gatherings of persons of one hundred or greater in indoor areas’ and the existing ban on ‘non-essential outdoor gatherings of five hundred persons or greater’, Archbishop Tim Costelloe asks us: Do I put myself first or should I act for the good of my brothers and sisters in the reality of my own life’s circumstances? As a Christian community we must act in the best interests of all the members of our society and has therefore issued following directives:
- Temporary Suspension of the Public Celebration of Mass All public Masses at all churches and chapels across the Archdiocese of Perth will be temporarily suspended from the receipt of these directives on Wednesday 18 March 2020. This temporary suspension of public Masses within the Archdiocese of Perth is in place for an initial period of two weeks between Wednesday 18 March to Wednesday 1 April. Subsequent revisions and advice will be given prior to Wednesday 1 April in relation to this temporary suspension.
- The Sunday Obligation for the faithful does not apply during this time of emergency.
