Archdiocese of Kingston Update
Capacity for religious services is now limited to 50%. Which means we are safe for regular Masses since currently we are only having about 10-15% attendance.
~ Consequently, with capacity restrictions all safe worship protocols remain in effect.~ Put on masks when entering the Church, hand sanitize, social distancing, the reception of Communion needs to be in the hand and not on the tongue
~ Vulnerable persons & persons who cannot wear a face covering or mask are reminded of the dispensation for Mass attendance on Sundays & Holy Days of Obligation. There are many televised & online Masses within the Archdiocese
Parishes will not be collecting vaccination status information from parishioners. Consequently, capacity restrictions and all safe worship protocols remain in effect. Vigilance for the safety and well being of all parishioners is especially important now that we have entered the cold and flu season.
We pray for all those suffering the effects of Covid-19 and for those who care for the sick and dying. We pray also for all who work in healthcare and essential services.
There are four Sunday Masses: Saturday at 5 pm, and Sunday at 9 am, 11 am, and 5 pm.
The Saturday vigil usually draws a primarily adult congregation. Worshippers raise their voices under the guidance of some very talented leaders of song, sometimes supported by other parish musicians. ( choir is cancelled until further notice)
Sunday’s 9 am Mass is particularly well attended by those with young families .
Our Children's Liturgy is cancelled until further notice. Normally available to children aged 3 to 7. Junior liturgy takes place in the parish centre, beginning with Mass at 9:00 am in the Church.
