A LETTER FROM THE CATHOLIC BISHOPS OF VICTORIA
18 March 2020
Prayerful greetings to the people of God across Victoria,
This morning, the Prime Minister announced that non-essential indoor gatherings will be limited
to 100 people, and outdoor events of more than 500 people will be disallowed, effective today.
Given the seriousness of COVID-19, we support this measure as being responsible and sensible,
and we encourage everyone to follow public safety guidelines respectfully.
The Bishops of the Province of Victoria have given this prayerful and considered reflection, and
have determined the following actions:
• Immediate suspension of public liturgies, celebrations of the Mass, until further notice.
• All other gatherings are suspended. For clarification of any concerns, please contact your local diocesan authority.
