Under current government restrictions, St Francis Xavier Church can accommodate
a maximum of 57 fully vaccinated people,
​​with an extra 11 people possible in the gallery upstairs.
Some of our pews are roped off in order to maintain safe distances
between those in the church.
For the safety of all, we ask you to please:
*use the hand sanitiser provided
*complete the sign-in register in the foyer or use the Service NSW app to check in
*maintain a minimum distance of 1.5m between yourself and
anyone else who is not a member of your household;
*for Communion, keep 1.5m from the person in front of you;
*take your Mass bulletin with you when you leave;
*if you have any cold or flu-like symptoms, stay at home;
*wear a mask while in the church.


 During this pandemic, we encourage you to join with Pope Francis
and our Bishop Michael Kennedy in praying for the Church and the world.
Prayer changes us, changes others and opens the world to God’s grace and transformation,
so it is essential we commit to prayer at this time. 
Please pray for those you love, for those who are sick and those who will become ill
in the weeks and months ahead.
Pray for our health workers and for the many people in our community
for whom these trying times will bring great hardship.
In the midst of this current turmoil, let us strive to be people who bear the light of Christ,
bringing hope and confidence as we give witness to the love of Jesus.

Our Resources page has links to online Masses, as well as prayers, reflections and more.
 ​
​​Please everyone, follow all official health guidelines and government regulations. 
We want you to all remain safe and well.
In the meantime, continue to look out for each other. 
 Phone someone you know is on their own. 
If a parishioner needs a call from a priest, please let us know.

“In Thee, O Lord, have I put my hope. Let me never be confounded.” 
St Francis Xavier
