Sadly it has come to our attention, from members of St Anthony’s community that the lack of appropriate behaviour and reverence during Mass at Picton on Fridays is very disturbing to people who wish to participate in the liturgy in a prayerful and personal way as they encounter their God. The Mass is not a place for social interaction amongst friends and acquaintances. It is not a place for coffee and food, nor is it a place for phones which ring and disturb the congregation and the Priest who is celebrating the Mass. We welcome all parents and carers to Masses and Liturgies but please demonstrate the appropriate respectful and reverent behaviour.
