UPDATE: After just over 24 hours power is back.
Dear pilgrims to the Shrine we had a major thunderstorm this afternoon that has taken out power to the Shrine and sounding properties. Endeavour Energy has been and assessed the situation and given the prediction that along with all the other jobs around the area that it could be 12-24 hours before power is restored. Therefore we are altering all pilgrims that there will be inconvenience at the shrine and recommend if you are planing to visit that you postpone the trip. When the situation changes you will be duely alerted. All means of communication are down (no phone and internet). Please share this post so we can reach as many people as possible. – Fr Richard
