Parish updates regarding COVID-19

Registration is now open

Schedule Mass times are as follows:

Saturday 5pm 
Sunday 10.00 am

Given the limitation on the number of people who can be in attendance at a Mass (currently the number is 50 people per Mass), it is likely that you will only attend in person every few weeks. Please keep this in mind as we try to make mass available for everyone.

Confirmation emails will be sent out along with information to help you prepare to attend Mass no later than noon on Fridays. Only those parishioners who have received a confirmation can attend Mass.

Remember, strict adherence to wearing a face mask, taking your temperature, respecting physical distancing and using hand sanitizer will  ensure the health and safety of our parish community.

 

MANDATORY MASK USE

In accordance with the everyone who enters our church is required to wear a face covering/mask.

All Mass attendees will be required to wear a mask as they come in to the church, during the reception of Holy Communion, and as they leave the church after Mass — although wearing a mask all throughout the Mass is strongly recommended. This will help better protect one another in preventing the transmission not only of COVID-19 but also of the common flu. This gesture is a sign of charity and concern for each other’s health.

Since the dispensation from the Sunday Obligation still applies, anyone who has difficulty and issues with wearing a mask may want to consider staying home and staying safe at this time.

This includes parishioners going for Confession, Eucharistic Adoration, Baptism, and all other sacraments and dealings with the parish office where maintaining physical distance is unpredictable and inconsistent.

Mass times (Pre-registration required):

• Saturday: anticipated Sunday Mass at 5 p.m.
• Sunday: 10am

You can register by visiting the site home page or by calling the parish office at 613-731-7834. We’re also live streaming on Youtube and the parish web site.

Please note that the Bishop's decree dispensing Catholics from the Sunday obligation remains. This means that even though public Masses have resumed, Catholics are not obliged to attend Mass, and those who attend do so out of their own free will and prudential judgment.

We appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding.

In keeping with the  mandatory mass gathering restrictions, please observe the following:

• When visiting the Blessed Sacrament Chapel for private prayer, there should be no more than 2 people together at any time
• Observe at least 2 metres of physical distancing
• Those who are ill, show symptoms of illness (however mild), as well as individuals from “demographic groups at greater risk of severe disease, such as people 60 years of age or older and individuals with chronic medical conditions” should stay home.

If you would like to stay connected with other parishioners and offer assistance (i.e. offering to pick up groceries for those in physical isolation, etc.), contact the parish office
