On Saturday, December 26, 2020 at 12:01 a.m., the Niagara Region, with all of Southern Ontario, is going into the provincially ordered shutdown.
Under these conditions, provincial regulations limit a gathering for the purposes of a wedding, a funeral or a religious service, rite or ceremony to 10 people.
We are still determining a fair and effective way we can admit people while limiting attendance.
Thus, for the weekend of December 26-27 the church will be closed to the public. Masses for the feast of the Holy Family will be celebrated and posted online.
Once we have figured out a system of attendance, Mass will be continue to be celebrated in the church each day, including Sundays, with that maximum limit of 10 persons mandated by provincial regulations; this limit includes priest(s) and other ministers (lector, servers, music ministers).
Please remember that you are exempt from the Sunday Obligation during this pandemic.
Check this website for updates on Masses throughout the Octave of Christmas, during the Christmas season, and until the shutdown ends.
