In light of the continuing rain and the presence of flooding, landslides, and other difficulties, all Masses in the Catholic Parishes of Dungog & Gresford on Saturday 24 May & Sunday 25 May have been cancelled. Parishioners are asked to reach out to others who may not see this message to communicate it to as many as possible.
This decision is not taken lightly and is taken to ensure that parishioners are not required to travel along roads that have been impacted by the earlier heavy and ongoing rain, and are able to remain safe at home. Parishioners are encouraged to spend some time on Sunday praying with the Scripture readings of the 6th Sunday of Easter, Year C (Acts 15:1-2, 22-29; Revelation 21:10-14, 22-23; John 14:23-29).
Please DO NOT attempt to drive through flood waters and reconsider the need to venture out on the roads at the moment. For assistance with flood or storm damage, please contact the NSW SES on 132 500. In the case of a life threatening emergency, please dial 000. If your mobile phone is enabled, please consider downloading the ‘Hazards Near Me’ and ‘Live Traffic’ apps.
