Current Lockdown – Message from Fr.Paul
The government-announced national four-week lockdown was approved on Wednesday 4 November in parliament and must be implemented from Thursday 5 November.
Until 2 December, at least, there will be no further public Masses celebrated in the parish. Funerals are the only exception and limited to 30 family and friends.
Mass will continue to be live-streamed on our live page and our Facebook page.
Our Parish church will be open for private prayer on Wednesday mornings from 10:00am to 12:00 noon.
Stewards will be available to ensure we cleanse our hands on entry and departure, wear face coverings at all times and maintain social distancing. They also stay at the end of private prayer and clean the entire church. We remain grateful for the work they do in enabling our safe access to prayer.

This Week’s Live Streams
Sunday Mass will still be live streamed via Facebook and our website at 10am, followed by Children’s Liturgy at 11:30am.
Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe
Please find here the link to the alternative Spiritual Communion Prayer.
This Sunday is the last Sunday of the liturgical year, and
we celebrate Our Lord Jesus Christ, King
of the Universe. This Solemnity, which was instituted by
Pope Pius XI in 1925, reminds us that Christ reigns as King
of the entire world forever, and it encourages us to
respond to this reality. This year, let us rededicate
ourselves to bearing witness to the reign of Jesus Christ
and His Sacred Heart.
