Further easing of restrictions

As you would be aware, the Victorian government has announced some easing of the restrictions that have been in force to counter the spread of COVID-19.

The provisions for ceremonies and gatherings in places of worship for regional Victoria (as at October 28, 2020) allow for a small number of people to attend to Mass. If you are not able to attend, Mass is still available to view as listed below:

Diocesan Vision Statement

In the spirit of reconciliation, we acknowledge the traditional custodians of the lands in which the Diocese of Ballarat sits. We would like to pay our respects to Aboriginal Elders past, present and future. Their wisdom can help us care for the earth, our common home.
