The exception is when masks inhibit speaking or singing. For live-streaming and video, when keeping social distance of at least 1.5m, speaking or singing directly to camera without a mask is preferred. When not speaking or singing, a mask must be put back on.”</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">On the topic of COVID-19 face masks, this week a parishioner sent me the attached video clip which you might enjoy.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Do join us for Mass at 10.30am on Sunday, live-streamed this week to both FaceBook and YouTube - when you can see the face masks that those of us leading the service have chosen for worship :)</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">A reminder that you can find all you need for on-line worship each week (liturgy sheet, pew sheet, links to FB & YT) on the homepage of our parish website: <a href="http://www.stpeters.org.au" class="">www.stpeters.org.au</a> And then, after Sunday Mass, if you would like to pop in to the Vicarage (virtually on Zoom) afterwards for “morning tea” at 12.30pm it is always great to have a bit of a chat and catch up on how you are going: <font color="#0e71eb" class=""><span style="box-sizing: border-box; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); orphans: 2; widows: 2;" class=""><a href="https://us02web.zoom.us/j/91491816647" class="">https://us02web.zoom.us/j/91491816647</a></span></font></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">May you be graced with God’s abundant blessing in these challenging times.</div><div class="">Kind regards,</div><div class="">Fr Hugh<br class=""><div><div class="">
