St Patrick's Church Walcha

Sunday Mass is available for maximum of 50 people due to the Covid 19 regulations.

Monsignor Ted Wilkes would like to invite parishioners to Sunday Mass 10am.

For Baptism or Marriage enquiries phone Monsignor Ted Wilkes 67784070.

Covid-19 restrictions have been changed and as of June 1st, 50 people are able to attend each Mass. The Bishops of New South Wales have outlined that we are willing and able to observe the following:

4 square meters per person and 1.5m spatial distancing
On entering the church, each attendee's contact details are to be recorded
At risk parishioners being exhorted not to attend
Minimise time gathered together by simplifying services
Not using collection plates and hymn books; no shaking of hands or holding hands; Holy Communion to be given and received safely
Hand sanitiser available at entrances; and commonly touched surfaces regularly disinfected
Those who attend will need to sign a contact sheet which will be at the door. This is for Health Department contact tracing in the event of an outbreak.

TRINITY SUNDAY

This weekend is Trinity Sunday. Trinity Sunday is the first Sunday after Pentecost and celebrates the Christian doctrine of the Holy Spirit.... God the Father, Jesus the Son and the Holy Spirit. While there are three distinct and individual divine persons, they are so deeply bonded by love they operate with one mind and heart.

Prayer to the Blessed Trinity

The Father is my hope.

The Son is my refuge.

The Holy Spirit is my protector.

Glory to the holy and undivided Trinity, now and for ever.

Let us praise the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit;

let us bless and praise God above all for ever!

Through Jesus Christ our Lord,

who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,

one God, for ever and ever.

Amen.
