MASKS AGAIN NEED TO BE WORN INSIDE ST ANNE’S CHURCH.
FUTURE MASSES WILL BE ABLE TO BE BOOKED UNTIL THE END OF MARCH AT THIS STAGE.
From the 19th and 20th December onwards, we will be able to have 200 participants but with registration required to be electronic. If people do not book online we will have to go back to 100 only. This is why we will require that parishioners book online. Online bookings are now open until the end of March. The links are up above and on Facebook. Also please note that there will not be a 5pm Sunday Mass until futher notice.
This system was in place for all the Christmas Masses, and will be for all Masses into the unknown future.
General compliance with DHHS and Archdiocese regulations…
The church will be open half an hour before Mass, and all Registrars and Ushers must be there when the church opens. All participants must be at the church at least 10 minutes prior to Mass starting. The church will be locked once the Mass commences.
Parishioners will need to be registered by name and contact phone number via Trybooking website.
Sanitiser and social-distancing will be mandatory. The congregation cannot sing as that would require masks and our numbers would be cut back to 100.
An usher will seat each person/family who must remain in that seat until receiving the Eucharist. Then return to that seat after Communion.
In receiving the Eucharist, please extend your arms as far as possible to allow for correct social distancing.
We will need to clear and clean the church immediately after Mass.
Each Mass will require the correct number of volunteers, if not Mass cannot go ahead (See note about 5pm Sunday Mass). Please consider what role you can play in the celebration and phone the Parish Office with your offer or submit one of the forms that are on the registration desk.
Volunteers needed are:
Set-Up, Lector, Musician, Singer, Registrars x2, Minister of Communion, Ushers x 4-5, Cleaners x 4
NOTE: FOR YOUR FRIENDS AND RELATIVES WITH ONLY A TV SET, CHANNEL 10 BROADCASTS SUNDAY MASS FROM MELBOURNE AT 6.00AM ON CH10
PARISH OFFICE HOURS:
With Covid-Normal restrictions (or whatever we’re calling it, now) in place the Parish office is closed to visitors with staff working mainly from home.
