We have had a number of inquiries as to when St Joseph’s Parish church will open again for Mass and other liturgies, in light of the NSW government announcing the “roadmap to reopening” recently.
Our diocese has decided this will occur when the milestone of 80% double-vaccination of the NSW population (over 16 years) has been reached. This was confirmed on October 18, meaning our first “face-to-face” Sunday gathering will occur on Sunday October 24.
A letter from our Vicar General, Andrew Doohan, provides further detail of the reasoning for this decision and some information on the importance of being vaccinated. His letter appears below.
