A message from Fr Joseph - My Soul Magnifies the Lord - Welcome back!

Dear Parishioners,

What an excellent thing that we are beginning all our parish activities a week earlier than expected; more exciting and overwhelmed to hear that Father Gordon is taking all three Masses this weekend! Look after him.

Maybe we shall see fewer faithful this weekend, but we still have to follow the pandemic restrictions yet. Please don't panic if you are not double vaccinated. Our welcoming staff will look after you and receive you with warm greetings. All our Churches are cleaned, and special thanks to Kathy, our cleaner.

I'm typing this quick message just before entering into the water in Foster!!

Now, there are all kinds of reasons why people have not yet returned to Mass in-person. Some are a  bit reluctant! Some are grieving, some isolated, or still fearful. Some are protecting small children; and others have gotten into a new routine on Sunday morning.

As COVID-19 cases decline and the number of people who’ve received the vaccine increases, we believe there is a renewed opportunity to invite people to Church.  It is the job of every parishioner to take care of each and every person entering our Parish Premises.

Continue to pass on the news of the recommencement of Masses and other News to all our Parishioners, we shall have more activities when I’m back.

Hope this quick message will meet and greet you all with a warm smile!!

With love and prayers in the Lord,

Fr Joseph
