St. Emile
Roman Catholic  Church

♦ In accordance with provincial regulations, up to 50 people may gather indoors provided social distancing and sanitization measures are in place.
♦ The 50-person limit includes the priest, deacon, lectors, greeters, choir, and videographer.
♦ Masks are strongly recommended, but not mandatory.
♦ A greeter will ask you to confirm that you have read and are in compliance with self-screening requirements.  The questions are a bit further down this page, so please read them.
♦ Everyone will be expected to observe the 6-foot social distancing guidelines at all times, including when lining up to get in, when standing and sitting inside the church, when queuing for Communion,  when sanitizing the pew after Mass, and when leaving the church.  Look for the markers on the ground outside and on the floor.
♦ A collection basket is provided in the centre aisle; no formal collection will be taken.
♦ After Mass ends, you are expected to use the disinfectant provided to sanitize your pew.  Disinfectant spray and paper towels are available in every unused pew.

The first time you secure a seat or seats to attend Mass, you will need to provide your telephone number and email address (if you have one).  Why?
♦ It's a public health measure.  If someone who has attended Mass should fall ill, the information will be used to trace contacts.
♦ The parish is trying to bring its database up to date so that parish members can be contacted with important information and can be provided with the bulletin.
