5. Glory to Jesus….. Honour to Mary… we thank God for prayers answered especially as we receive good news of further easing of the lock down in our state. We urge you our dear Chaplaincy members not to let your guards down and continue to be full of prayers for the good Lord to heal our world of the coronavirus.

6. During this pandemic period, the Archbishop has permitted the lay faithful to receive Holy Communion on our palms, we are reminded that every particle of the communion that we receive has Jesus, in its entirety, soul and body. We are encouraged not to desecrate the Sacred specie. We are to consume every particle of the body of Christ without leaving any on our palms. We implore our church wardens to help us see that this is properly adhered to. 

7. We thank you our beloved Chaplaincy members for your compliance with the guidelines of the government and the church to stop the spread of the corona virus.
