Sede vacante

Bishop James’ resignation for health reasons took effect on Sunday 21 August 2022 – his 30th anniversary of ordination as Bishop. With no successor yet appointed, the Diocese of Cairns is now sede vacante (a vacant seat/See) until such time as the pope appoints a new bishop; Fr Kerry Crowley (Parish Priest of Innisfail) was elected Diocesan Administrator.

Covid-19 restrictions

Masks are not required, but they are still highly recommended when physical distancing is difficult.

  1. Anyone with Covid and other respiratory infections should stay at home. Careless spreading of colds and flu is not acceptable.
  2. Close contacts with a current case of Covid-19 should not attend.
