What's Going On
Diocesan policy on face coverings: Regions and municipalities have been passing by-laws regarding the mandatory wearing of face coverings in enclosed public spaces, including churches. The diocese has issued a policy in response; please see this post for details.
Members of the Catholic community are reminded that for the duration of the pandemic, Bishop Bergie has dispensed the faithful from the obligation to attend Mass Sundays and other holy days of obligation.
St. Patrick Parish has re-opened to celebrate its Masses. CHURCH CAPACITY IS LIMITED. Please see this post for important information on public health precautions connected to the reopening.
Information from the diocese on the reopening of churches can be read in this post.
For the time being, the office remains closed to the public but is processing e-mail (stpatrick1895@hotmail.com) and telephone (905-354-7451) enquiries Monday - Thursday 10:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m., Friday 10:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. Correspondence can be dropped off in the letter box.
Restrictions are in place for hospital visits but there are clergy on call for emergencies only; the hospital will call them as needed.
