Word of God Sunday
Pope Francis instituted 'The Sunday of the Word of God' to be held every year on the third
Sunday of Ordinary Time, with the Apostolic Letter in the form of a Motu proprio "Aperuit illis"
issued on 30 September 2019. The Pope intended it to be a day dedicated to the celebration,
reflection and dissemination of the Word. The Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the
Sacraments released a note, signed by the prefect, Cardinal Robert Sarah, explains that The Sunday of
the Word of God is a means to help people “reawaken an awareness of the importance of Sacred Scripture
for our lives as believers, beginning with its resonance in the liturgy which places us in living and permanent
dialogue with God.” The Church in Australia celebrates the Sunday of the Word of God on the first Sunday
in February – February 7 in 2021. The Australian bishops, in light of the regular coincidence of the Australia
Day holiday or associated long weekend with the Third Sunday in Ordinary Time, decided to choose
another date to mark the occasion. The Australian Catholic Bishops Conference confirmed that date as the
first Sunday in February. www.catholic.org.au/wordofgodsunday to access resources to help
commemorate the day and for suggestions on how to better engage with Sacred Scripture in various ways
and settings.
Thanksgiving Offerings: Due to coronavirus, there are no collections during Mass. Offertory Gifts can

Aloysius Parish. BSB: 086 006, Account 6919 06978, Reference: your name. Thanksgiving for the last

School Masses during the post lockdown transition period
On advice from the Chief Health Officer, school Masses, assemblies and other school gatherings may go ahead on
school grounds without restriction when there are only students, staff and the priest in attendance. If parents are
planning to attend an assembly or Mass, the principal must ensure that there is a maximum of 150 adults in total in the
assembly hall and that the 4 square metre rule is maintained. The 4 square metre capacity rule applies, up to a
maximum of 150 people, for school Masses held in parish churches (places of worship).
The following restrictions most directly apply to the clergy, agencies, staff and the operations of the Archdiocese of
Perth for the post lockdown transition period:
• masks are mandatory when in public, while inside places of worship and while at workplaces;
• places of worship can reopen;
• the 4 square metre capacity rule applies for places of worship and workplaces, up to a maximum of 150 people;
• 150-person capacity limits apply to all events including Masses, weddings and funerals;
• visits to aged care and disability care facilities are restricted to compassionate grounds only; and
• only essential travel is permitted in and out of the Perth and Peel regions to other parts of WA.
Places of worship can re-open from 6pm on Friday, 5, February 2021 if no more community cases are reported with
the following conditions:
• the 4 square metre capacity rule applies for places of worship, up to a maximum of 150 people;• hand sanitizers are to be available at each entrance to every place of worship;
• all priests and Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion are to wash their hands in soap and water, or are to use an
alcohol-based hand sanitiser both immediately before and immediately after the distribution of Holy Communion;
• masks are mandatory for clergy and attendees at all places of worship at all times (including the priest for the entirety
of the celebration of the Mass); and
• the faithful are dispensed from the usual Sunday obligation.
Contact Registers and the Safe WA App will continue as part of post-lockdown life. It is mandatory for all places of
worship, all parish offices and facilities to ensure that a contact register is available for all attendees at each of these
premises.
