The entrance to the chapel is on the south side of the church property.

If you park in the big parking lot, walk past the church and down the sidewalk towards the triplex and go right around the building, then keep walking away from St. Anne's Road towards the school.  The triplex will be on your left and the church on your right.

Walk up the sidewalk to the chapel. You will see the chapel’s stained glass windows on your left as you go up the sidewalk.

Turn left after you enter the building.

The door to the parish office is on St. Anne’s Road.

Walk from the main parking lot past the church proper and look to the right.  The parish office door is plainly marked. 

Press the button marked "office" and open the door when you hear the lock click.

The entrance to the parish hall is near St. Emile school.  Look for the wide double doors.  If there is an evening event in the parish centre, this is the way to get in.

Entry to the parish centre is also available from the chapel entrance when the chapel is open.  When the church is open, you can get to the parish centre from the church:  walk toward the altar, turn left at the front between the front pews and the steps, and go through the doors, then turn right again.

Absolutely! Liturgical hosts are scheduled to carry the offertory gifts, but if asked they will step aside to allow you to carry the gifts. To arrange it beforehand, contact the hosting scheduler (Shirley) at st-emile@shaw.ca as soon as you can so that she can contact the scheduled hosts ahead of time to let them know they aren’t needed. If you will be alone, it is possible to cancel only one of the scheduled hosts and have the other carry the gifts with you.

To become a communion minister or lector, complete the Get Involved in St. Emile Parish form.  The form is available as a pamphlet on the shelf in front of the bulletin board in the church and electronically on this web site.

The library is in the parish centre across the hall from the chapel entrance. If you attend the morning Mass in the chapel, just step down the hallway and choose a book. At other times, the library is available during office hours (most Mondays to Fridays between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m.), when there is an event in the parish centre, and when the church is open. Access to the parish centre during the week is through the office unless there is a special event going on.

The Canadian Council of Catholic Bishops (CCCB) has indicated that there are no ethical obstacles to Catholics being vaccinated against COVID.

It should also be noted that the Church's official teaching on this matter, as stated by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, explicitly states, “Practical reason makes evident that vaccination is not, as a rule, a moral obligation and that, therefore, it must be voluntary.”

More information on this matter can be found here.
