All Christmas Masses will require a Vaccine Pass

All Christmas Masses will require a Vaccine Pass

After morning Masses
As it is likely that we will be holding more events online – liturgies, Parish Hui, coffee catch-ups – we encourage you to bring your Smartphone (Android or Apple), Ipad or laptop to Mass on Sunday 13 February so that you can attend a brief session after Mass explaining how to use ZOOM.
It would be helpful if you asked a family member or friend to download ZOOM onto your device beforehand.

This will be a vaccine event – max 100 people.
Ashes will be sprinkled on the head rather than placed on the forehead.
Fr Doug will also be doing an Ash Wednesday Mass at St Bernard’s school at 9am and Te Hopai rest Home at 3pm. (These two services are not open to the public.)
Ashes will be delivered to St Anne’s and St Francis de Sales schools separately.
There will be no Ecumenical service this year.

Mass:  Vaccine entry Max 200 No registrations
Pope Francis says “I ask you to join in this Act by inviting the priests, religious and faithful to assemble in their churches and places of prayer on 25 March, so that God’s Holy People may raise a heartfelt and choral plea to Mary our Mother”.
We will be praying for those who have been wounded or killed. We will be praying for those who care for the wounded. We will be praying for those who have suddenly become refugees and for those that care for them. And we will pray that the Russian leadership and soldiers may have a change of heart.
