有關天主教香港教區颱風信號或黑色暴雨警告生效期間之牧民指引
1.當八號 (或以上) 颱風信號經已懸掛或黑色暴雨警告經已發出，信友應如一般市民，接受忠告，留在戶內，避免戶外活動，以策安全。
2.在上述信號或警告生效期間，離家前往聖堂或彌撒中心會有危險。故此，在這些情況下，信友毋須參與主日彌撒，但為本身的神益，他們仍須履行另一些善工，例如在家中閱讀聖經 (主日彌撒選用的讀經較佳) 或念玫瑰經。
3.在上述第 1 項提及的情況下，不論是主日或週日，聖堂及彌撒中心均應關閉，按常規舉行的彌撒亦應予取消。
4.如信友罔顧上述第 1 及第 2 項指引而導致意外或損傷，教區當局及有關的司鐸將不負起任何責任。
5.如八號 (或以上) 颱風信號或黑色暴雨警告，於主日或週日常規彌撒前兩小時或更早的時間除下，彌撒應如常舉行，惟於該等信號或警告除下後，司鐸毋須安排常規以外的彌撒。

PASTORAL GUIDELINES IN TIMES OF TYPHOONS AND RAINSTORMS
1. When the Typhoon Signal No. 8 (or above) is hoisted or Black Rainstorm Warning is in force, the faithful, in accordance with the advice given to the general public, are to avoid outdoor activities and to stay indoors for their personal safety.
2. As traveling from their houses to churches or Mass centers might be hazardous when the above-mentioned signals are hoisted, the faithful are not obliged to attend Sunday Mass under these circumstances. Instead, they are only required to perform some works of piety at home, such as meditating on some Scripture passages (preferably those chosen for the Sunday liturgy) or saying the Rosary.
3.Under the circumstances mentioned in No. 1 above, churches and Mass centers are to be closed, and regularly scheduled Masses are to be cancelled. This applies to Sunday or weekdays.
4.The faithful who go against the advice given in Nos. 1-2 above do so at their own risk. The diocesan authorities and the priests concerned shall not be responsible for any accidents or injuries which might occur.
5.If Typhoon Signal No. 8 (or above) or Black Rainstorm Warning is lowered two hours or more ahead of scheduled Sunday or weekday Masses, churches and Mass centers are to provide the usual Eucharistic services. However, priests are not required to arrange for special/unscheduled Masses when these signals are lowered.
*Parishioners are advised to pay attention to the latest updates from the Observatory and the Church.*
