- UPDATED GUIDELINES FOR ATTENDING MASS
Starting this October, parishioners, including teenagers who wish to attend Sunday mass must have completed 2-dose vaccination. Please send us your certification of vaccination when you make your booking for Mass.
- ATTENDANCE AT MASS
We appeal to all who have booked for Mass to ensure that you do attend. If you are unable to come, please inform the contact person so that your seat can be assigned to another person.
Since the relevant agencies have stopped doing contact tracing, it is our own responsibility to ensure that we keep safe and healthy at all times.
If you have been in close contact with Covid positive cases, please practice self-isolation for two weeks, do swab test and refrain from coming to Mass. If you are unwell or have symptoms of fever, cough, sore throat, flu or breathing difficulties, please refrain from coming to Mass.
Since the maximum capacity at the moment is still 50 persons only, therefore it is advisable for the same person not to book every Sunday mass in order to give others the opportunity to book the mass. We need to be considerate of others who would like to go to Church too, including teenagers who have completed their vaccination. We encourage those who would like to receive Holy Communion to attend the Daily Masses (7.00 am by booking and 6.30 pm by walk-in).
- PRIESTS TRANSFER
Effective 3rd November 2021, Fr. Damian will be transferred to the parish of Good Shepherd, Marudi as the Rector. He has served in St. Anthony’s Church, Bintulu since July 2019. We thank God for sending Fr. Damian to serve in our parish and we pray that the Lord will continue to bless him in his new parish. He will be replaced by Fr. John Ciril, a Mill Hill priest from India who is currently serving Lapok.
For more information on all the Church notices, please refer to the parish FB and website.
