Welcome to All Saints, and to the 19th^h Sunday in Ordinary Time, 9th August 2020. We value all our volunteers and parishioners. Please read the current newsletter, page 2 for Vulnerable and High Risk workers / Volunteers, in light of the current events affecting Queensland, and refrain from attending or serving if you are unwell.

FYI: As per the Industry COVID Safe Plan for Reopening Places of Worship in Qld -- Do we have the legal right to turn people away if capacity is reached?

Yes, you do. It is a difficult thing to do, but necessary to limit the number of people in a building for both public health and contact tracing. It is recommended that organisations with smaller places of worship run multiple services and set up a “pre-booking” system to avoid rejections at the door.

To all those involved in the liturgical ministry rosters, please know that with the easing of restrictions for mass attendance, we will let you know when the rosters will be back and operational. In the meantime, please know that you are in our prayers.
