Parish message of the week,

1. All Masses – daily and Sunday – continue to be suspended. Also, all public services for Holy Week and Easter this year are also suspended. We invite you to join with us in the pre-taped ceremonies of Holy Week that will be uploaded to the parish website in both English and Cantonese on each day of Holy Week.
2. Given the restrictions on public gatherings and on the sacrament of Reconciliation and Confession in this Lent/Easter season, we remind everyone of the instructions from the Diocese:

• The faithful can avail themselves of various online services, such as daily Masses, formation programs, Lenten works of penance and piety, as well as other spiritual exercises, such as daily morning prayer, Rosary and Angelus, by visiting Catholic information websites.
• While the Church encourages the faithful to go to confession during Lent in order to renew themselves, under the present circumstances, some members of the faithful might find it risky to go to confession.  They can rest assured, however, that a genuine desire for receiving the sacrament of reconciliation, together with prayers and works of penance and charity, fulfils the Lenten obligation of repentance.
• Those who wish can make an appointment through the reception desk to make their confession to a priest on the parish staff. There will be set times for confession in a special area or room on specific times to be announced next week.
