Dear Maffra and Heyfield-Cowwarr parishioners, greetings!
A few matters:
1. I'm in no doubt that by now you would have heard the news of
Fr. Young's peaceful death on 7 December at mid-afternoon.
Funeral arrangements have been
made. Requiem Mass will be
celebrated at 11:00am on
Monday 14 December at St.
Mary's Church, Maffra by our
Bishop Greg Bennet and
concelebrated by several clergy
of our diocese and Fr. Young’s
classmates and friends from the
Archdiocese of Melbourne.
Family and friends of Fr. Young
will be present at the requiem
Mass.
I am sure that all of you would
love to go to his requiem Mass. Due
to the ongoing restrictions still in place on numbers permitted in
the church, I am offering you an opportunity to farewell Fr. Young
at a Vigil Mass to be celebrated at St. Mary's on Sunday 13
December at 6:00pm. The first 90 people will go in and the rest
may stay outdoors. All are required to register. Thanks.
2. From this Sunday, we will move to QR code registration. All
you have to do is to scan the QR code and provide your first name
and phone number. A person with a smartphone may do the same
for another without a smart phone. If you do not have a
smartphone, we shall keep your details as we have been doing -
registering your details on a paper.
In order to avail the 2sqaure meter per person rule, we must
implement electronic record keeping, such as a QR code. It has
been put in place and it will be explained to you at the weekend
Mass.
