Football is an important game, so is going to mass indoors with proper etiquette to keep us safe. Please Daniel Andrews consider our rights too.

Please open up our Churches. We need Jesus in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and we need to receive Jesus in Holy Communion. Our worship of God in the Mass is the primary and most important aspect of our lives. Worship of God is not only private, but it is also communal.

We have complied with these arbitrary rules for months. People of faith have been denied the ability to freely practise their faith. Enough is enough. Open up our churches!

I am young 22 year old Catholic who has seen how much hurt the closing of our churches has caused so many young and old families, not only spiritually, but has lead to mental health problems, anxiety etc. It is paramount that our right to worship is treated equally with that of being able to drink a coffee in a cafe, or a beer in the pub. Warm regards.

I appreciate we need to tread cautiously to avoid another lockdown over Christmas but also think there should be equitable numbers able to attend religious gatherings. It’s easier to wear a mask there than at a restaurant also

People can dine out or inside. We should be able to go to Church.

It’s amazing how sports like footy and NRL, basket ball and some others are permissible but other things like in particular the schooling of our children with many, many children suffering anxiety & depression now in the process, is not being seen as a priority. But most importantly that our God who deserves our praises, adoration & gratitude shown with Holy Mass is completely being pushed our of the equation. By not allowing any persons of faith even 5, share in attending daily Mass in a spacious Church or Cathedral with strict sanitising following Mass shows clearly the government staff haven’t even thought of people of faith. Clearly many government persons may not being practising their faith if any and don’t see any priority of God in their lives. Hopefully, with our Bishops persistence in speaking up for their flock to the Government on our behalf we will soon be seeing Parishioners at least sharing 5-20 with masks and the regulated sitting distance returning very soon to celebrate the Holy Mass, instead of a Priest on line celebrating the Mass and giving Liturgy of the Word with his Homily along with Eucharistic Prayer and no Parishioners receiving Jesus in the Eucharist in an empty Church.

With businesses & hospitality industries opening, it is unfair for places of worship (with appropriate COVID19 safe plans) not to be given permission to open.

Our souls’ nourishment through the Holy Mass is more important than the food we take in cafes or anywhere else.
