We are allowed to have two prayer times, one in the morning and another in the evening of 24th and 25th December with very new guidelines:
- As per these guidelines all those who come to the church should have taken the PCR test (Covid test) within 96 hours of the service.
- All need to have the Al Hosn application on their smart phones which will show the test results.
- One can register for any service only with this requirement fulfilled.
- Those above 50 years and below 12 years are not allowed to participate in the services.
- Holy Communion service is prohibited.
- All those who serve in the church are also required to take PCR test within 48 hours of the function they serve.
Since we do not have time to go through all these requirements before tomorrow (24th December). It is decided that we will have only online services, as usual at 6:30 AM and 7:00 PM for Christmas.
I know you will be disappointed. But take it in the spirit of Christmas, “Peace to men of Good Will”. I beg your kind understanding in the development and cooperation humbly solicited.
Note well: People are also not allowed to pray outside the gate, along the church wall, facing the church or grotto. Online Christmas Services
