COVID – 19 DECEMBER UPDATE
As of 12:01am Saturday December 26, 2020, the Province of
Ontario will go into Lockdown, and in our region it will last at
least 28 days. Due to this lockdown, after our Christmas Eve and
Christmas Day Masses (which will all continue as scheduled) there
will be no more public Masses until the end of the lockdown.
Fr. Murray and Fr. Raphael will continue to celebrate Mass
privately for the intentions of all the parishioners of St. Francis
of Assisi and our loved ones. If you had a Mass intention booked
during the lockdown period we will reschedule it once we are again
allowed to have public Mass.
During the lockdown the Parish Office will also be closed. Alice
and Ruthann will continue to work from home, and we will be
checking phone and email messages. So if you need us please reach
out, we are here for you and we will do whatever we can to continue
to minister to the people of St. Francis of Assisi Parish.
We are able to celebrate Baptisms, Weddings and Funerals with a
maximum of 10 people present (including the priest), so if you are
in need of these sacraments please contact the parish office and we
will get back to you.
Please keep us and your fellow parishioners in prayer, as we
keep you in ours. May this Christmas Season bring us peace and
healing, and may the New Year be blessed!
