We need to have our Churches open to be able to practise our faith and to support each other. At this time of uncertainty and hardship for many, social interaction is imperative for our health and welfare. We need the spiritual benefits of our Sacraments.

Equality and proportionality. Faith services are essential health and wellbeing services.

We need to celebrate the sacraments and be able to receive our Lord Jesus and the sacraments. Our community needs to gather for Baptisms, weddings and funerals. Our elderly are finding it so hard and struggle with technology to tune into Home mass.

Open our Churches! There is no reason why Churches can’t open, very safely-with social distancing if required.

The Covid Safe plans in Churches are very thorough and if not safer then other retail shops.

I am appalled that churches are treated differently to other institutions. We need to practise our faith, it is our right to gather together as one faith to reference Our Lord We need consistency from this government, we need compassion

We are not 'all in this together' is faith communities are being discriminated.

Sacraments are important to us and our communities. Please consider the need for them to operate and easily implement COVID safe practices.

Please take the time to very carefully consider this change. Not only is the discrepancy unfair and illogical, it will also support and help to heal the mental and emotional health of many Victorians.

People of faith need their faith community to sustain them. There is no reason we cannot be as safe or safer than restaurants, supermarkets and cafes. This restriction is unfair and unfeeling. Please open our churches – most of them can fit between 50 to 100 safely distanced.

My family and I are in need on churches being opened to practice our faith. Our spiritual health is suffering for want of our Church

Fairness and equity please. No scientific reason to treat faith communities differently to other communities

Let Catholic churches and other faith based organisations have equitable treatment with pubs and cafes. Religion and places of worship provide find meaning and hope for those of faith in times of adversity. This is therefore an essential service as it contributes to the overall health of an individual.
