Proof of vaccination is not required.

Mass attendance is now restricted to 25% or 25 per cohort people, whichever is less.

A breakdown of the parish cohorts can be seen here.

Everyone is required to sign in so the parish can provide contact tracing informaton to the Ministry of Health should anyone attending Mass later test positive for COVID.

Sanitization of hands and hard surfaces continues.

Please remember to self-screen the day you attend Mass.  If you feel ill, stay home.  If a member of your household is ill, please stay home and participate in Mass via social media or television.

Approach the altar to receive communion up the middle aisle in single file and return to your seat by a side aisle to avoid bumping into each other and coming too close to those who are seated.

Face masks must be worn indoors at all times.  That includes inside the church, the office area, and the parish centre.  Regulations dictate that, "a person who enters or remains in an
indoor public place must wear a mask in a manner that covers their mouth, nose and chin without gapping."

Masks must be worn when going to receive communion.  Remove your mask just before receiving the Sacred Host and replace your mask immediately after.

There are face mask exemptions for those under five, those who are unable to put on or remove a face mask unaided, and those who are having difficulty breathing in the present moment.  Disposable masks are available if you forget yours.

"Parishes are legally and morally responsible for ensuring that anyone who attends a Mass, religious service or event wears a mask. ... Anyone who refuses to wear a mask is to be politely invited to leave the premises and participate via livestream, or via television." (Clarification from the Archdicoese of St. Boniface dated 28 October.)

It is especially important during the pandemic that everyone arrive for Mass before the sacred liturgy begins.  Sign-in, self-screening checks, and social distancing require the attention of the greeters and create a certain amount of disruption.  It is impossible to sneak quietly into a back pew during a pandemic.

Daily Mass:
  9:30 a.m. Monday through Saturday in the church.

Sunday Mass:
  5 p.m. on Saturday
  9 a.m., 11 a.m., and 3 p.m. on Sunday

Mass is streamed live on Facebook and our web site at 9:30 a.m. Monday through Saturday and at 5 p.m. on Saturday (the anticipated Sunday Mass).

Everyone must sit in a pew with green tape.  This provides a distance of two metres between occupied pews.

Individuals and households of two or three should sit in the side pews to allow larger households to occupy the long pews.  This is crucial to fitting in a much larger number of people while maintaining distance between households.  (A single person sitting at the end of a long pew takes up six feet of space on a bench because of social distancing requirements.)

Please enter the church through the front doors and leave by the side doors to the parking lot to maintain social distancing.  Do not exit by the large front doors.

When capacity is reached, greeters will lock the doors.  Please do not knock or attempt to enter to avoid disrupting Mass.

The church doors open 30 minutes before Mass is scheduled to begin.
