There has been a change in our national lockdown status, and so new requirements and directives for our safety in the Church have been issued by our Bishops. Please read the attached letter from Bishop Sylvester David OMI, auxiliary Bishop of Cape Town.
I find the decision to close the churches appalling. I am able to go to a gym, a restaurant or pub for meals but not even to a week day mass which often as in Pinelands parish has a maximum of 15 people attending. Surely representation should be made for the opening of churches on a limited bases.
I’m so devastated that the Holy Mass has been stopped again. The strict measures that our churches have put into place more than most places that remain open. Our souls health is more important than our physical health. At this time we need to be praying more and receiving Our Lord in the Most Holy Eucharist ✝️🙏🏻
