As Sydney is under a stay-at-home order and regional NSW has increased restrictions, we deal with the fallout.

We discuss what these restrictions meant to our plans, and discuss Rise: Reset a placeholder for the Rise Youth Festival which has been postponed due to restrictions.

We also discuss what this means for Diep and Thao's ordination to the Diaconate coming up.

Finally, we speak to Stephen Read from the National Centre for Pastoral Research about his work and what it tells us about the makeup of our parishes.
