Up to 150 people may now attend each Mass at St. Emile in addition to clergy and lay ministers.  Reservations are not required for either weekday or Sunday Masses.

The archdiocese has provided more detailed information in a document dated July 15th.

Please remember to self-screen the day you attend Mass.  If you feel ill, please stay home.

Face masks are mandatory at all times, even when sitting still.  Please remove your mask just before receiving the Body of Christ, then put it back on.

Those who are unable to put on or take off a mask without assistance (for example, due to age, ability, or developmental status), who are actively having breathing difficulties, and children under the age of five do not have to wear a face mask.

Please use hand sanitizer.

Distance must be maintained between households at all times:  entering and leaving the church, sitting in the church, and going to and from communion.

Approach the altar to receive communion up the middle aisle in single file and return to your seat by a side aisle.

The province requires the parish to maintain contact tracing sheets in case someone who later tests positive for COVID has attended Mass at St. Emile.  Therefore, everyone must sign in and provide a phone number.  (Please include the names of all children.)  At Sunday Masses, greeters will be available to help.  At weekday Masses, those attending are on their honour to do so.

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 no longer being streamed live on our web site.  A list of live-streamed Masses is available below.

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.

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

Please listen to the lector's instructions before Mass begins and follow them to the best of your ability.
