COVID 19 Updates

.

On December 22^nd 2020 Archbishop Mulhall advised all the parishes that the provincial government has announced a province wide shutdown affective Saturday December 26 which will continue until Saturday January 23^rd.
Due to these restrictions, we will not be able to celebrate public masses but will continue to do so privately.
The office will remain open mornings but all sacramental ministries will be put on hold for a month however if you need a priest in an emergency, please do not hesitate to contact the parish.
Once again, due to Covid 19 and upon the direction of the Archbishop, all masses will be on hold until Saturday January 23.
Please pray for the survival of our parishes, for all the shut ins and those effected by the virus and for the needs of the church everywhere.

Letter from the Archdiocese of Kingston
Dear Monsignor, Clergy and Staff of Parishes of the Archdiocese of Kingston,
Yesterday, the Premier announced that a province-wide shutdown will begin on Saturday, 26 December and will continue until Saturday, 23 January, bringing with it greater restrictions on how we gather as communities. Since March of this year, we have learned a lot about dealing with lockdowns and reduced numbers for public gatherings and we are better able to determine whether individual churches need to close under these restrictions.
However, the practicality of opening for public masses will be a major challenge in parishes and will effectively make public functions onerous. Volunteers and staff may be extremely limited and pastors with multiple churches will face significant obstacles.
If you have any questions regarding these restrictions, please do not hesitate to contact the Archdiocese. As a general rule, go slowly so that gradual steps can be made for all concerned.
REMINDER:
Parishioners are encouraged to view online/livestream/televised Masses and a full list www.romancatholic.kingston.on.ca.
I want to thank you for your leadership and generosity in this time of restriction.
Wishing you peace during this holy season,
            Sincerely yours in Christ,
            + Michael Mulhall
                Archbishop of Kingston

Covid Reminders -   Please care for your own health. We also have hand sanitizing stations in the Church Foyer. Anyone attending any liturgical celebration does so at their own risk.

Covid-19 Update -  Our most recent update from the Archdiocese of Kingston commends your efforts to implement the Worship safe protocols that we have implemented in our church. “Furthermore, with the increase in numbers of Covid-19 cases at this time, the reception of Communion needs to be in the hand and not on the tongue. Physical distancing remains an important protocol for Communicants and when receiving Communion, masks are to be removed” as per Archbishop Mulhall. We also remind you to please leave your kneelers down where you have been sitting so that those great volunteers who sanitize the church know where to clean. Thank you

.

Prayer During Coronavirus Pandemic

O clement, O loving, O sweet Mother Mary,
We, your children of every nation,
Turn to you in this pandemic.
Our troubles are numerous; our fears are great.
Grant that we might deposit them at your feet,
Take refuge in your Immaculate Heart,
And obtain peace, healing, rescue,
And timely help in all our needs.
You are our Mother.
Pray for us to your Son.
Amen
