Catholic Weekly excerpt: Sadness and hope as churches close

While we may be forced to close our doors for a little while to keep our community safe, all hope is not lost.  An interview with our Parish Priest, Fr Greg Morgan, summed it all up perfectly. "... I think one of the greatest things we can do is bolster people’s faith, by showing them that in the midst of all this that God is there,” he said.
