The announcement that the entire country is moving to Level 3 of the “National Framework for living with COVID-19 has huge repercussion for our diocese:

MASSES: No public masses are allowed in Level 3, all masses can be viewed online. Churches will remain opened for private prayer.

BAPTISMS: Planned baptisms for the coming 3 weeks are unfortunately to be deferred until a suitable date can be arranged later.

FUNERALS: The maximum that can attend a funeral is 25.

MARRIAGES: The maximum that can attend a wedding in 25.

We understand that this is very hard on you all. We ask you to remember each other in prayer at this time.
