Due to community transmission of COVID-19 within our area and restrictions that continue to impact our Parish, it has been decided not to reopen our churches this week for the celebration of Masses and other liturgies.
At this stage, there will be no Mass or SCAE services in our Mass Centres until 25 October 2021.
In remembrance of All Saints Day, a Holy Mass will be celebrated at Our Lady of the Rosary Church Taree on Sunday, 31 October at 9:30 am.

A reading from the letter to the Hebrews
“…..For it is not as if we had a high priest who was incapable of feeling our weaknesses with us; but we have one who has been tempted in every way that we are, though he is without sin. Let us be confident, then, in approaching the throne of grace, that we shall have mercy from him and find grace when we are in need of help….”
Hebrews 4:14-16
Jesus was 100% human.
Like us in every way.
Except he didn’t sin like we do.
Was he capable of failing to love others as we do? Yes, but he didn’t.
He was also really good at letting God be God, just like we aren’t.
So, when we need help we know we’re asking ‘someone’ who knows how we feel.
And we’ll find compassion not condemnation. Grace not grimace.
We are loved 100%.
Have a great week,
