25.01.2022 hi all With the new government restrictions caused by the northern Beaches outbreak, that is back to the 4 m rule and thus limits on the amount of people allowed in places of worship, please be patient as we try to work out what’s happening at Christmas in the Parish of Baulkham Hills. For the time being we are not accepting any more mass registrations for any of our Christmas Masses at either St Michaels or Our Lady of Lourdes. ... Hopefully by mid day Wednesday we will be clearer as to where we are with Christmas. In the meantime keep praying and keep preparing for the birthday party of our Lord. Father Wim and the Parish Team

20.01.2022 NSW Health has revised the COVID-19 guidelines for indoor venues this includes places of worship, effective from 5pm, today 6 May to 12am Monday 10 May 2021. The following rule changes apply for venues across Greater Sydney and the Blue Mountains. Face Masks will be made mandatory at all indoor venues including places of worship for the next three days. ... There should be no singing at any indoor venues, including at places of worship. There has been no change to the number of people allowed at places of worship and religious services. The maximum number of people will continue to only be limited by the 2 square meter rule. We appreciate your patience and understanding.
