Update – Churches reopening from 19th October, 2021
With 80% of the adult population of the state now having received vaccination, the Diocese of Parramatta has given permission for churches in the diocese to open again for public divine worship.
From Tuesday, 19th October, Holy Family Church and Holy Trinity Church will again be open and Holy Mass and the Sacraments can be celebrated publicly.
Public health restrictions mandated by the N.S.W. Government remain in place. This means our churches are limited to one person per four square metres and social distancing between those of different households must be maintained. Face masks are required to be worn indoors (except for those under 12 years old). Proof of vaccination is not required to enter the church but all those attending are asked to use hand sanitiser and to sign in using the QR code. For those who are unable to use the QR code, manual sign-in forms will be available at the doors of the church. At the moment, singing by the congregation is still not allowed.
The Holy Mass and confession schedule in place before the stay-at-home orders will continue. This will mean that the additional temporary Mass times offered on Saturdays and Sundays will be offered for the time being so as to allow as many people as possible to attend.

Tuesdays, Holy Family Church at 9:15 a.m.
