In light of Saint John continuing at the COVID orange level, and with Christmas fast approaching, Fr. Peter Stephen has decided to postpone the start of Monday Adoration at St. Pius X/Holy Redeemer until the new year. We expect to announce the start date early in January.

Mass Invitations
Invitations have been extended for our weekend Masses. Unfortunately, if you didn’t receive an email or phone call from us today, that means that you are not able to attend. As you know, the number of people allowed in the church is reduced due to the current COVID level in Saint John. Should we receive any cancellations, we will send out additional invitations.
Holy Hour Update
Due to the current rise in COVID-19 cases in Saint John, we are going to temporarily delay the introduction of our new weekly Holy Hour which was to have started on Monday, November 30.
When it does start, Fr. Peter Stephen will be celebrating a weekly Holy Hour of Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament with Benediction each Monday from 3 pm – 4 pm at St. Pius X Church/Holy Redeemer Parish.
As with our Masses, pre-registration in order to attend is MANDATORY. You will receive an email or phone call from the parish weekly letting you know if you are able to attend.

Mass Invitation Cancellation
Due to the Saint John region reverting to the “Orange Phase” of COVID-19 recovery, we are CANCELLING ALL INVITATIONS to weekend Masses at St. Pius X Church/Holy Redeemer Parish for Saturday, November 21 and Sunday, November 22.
On Saturday morning we will send out a very limited number of new invitations to weekend Masses. The number of people allowed to be in the church has been reduced, so only those who receive this new invitation will be able to attend Mass in person.
Msgr. Henneberry will be distributing Communion in the parking lot after the Saturday, 4 pm and Sunday, 11 am Masses for those not able to attend Mass in person.
We will be recording the 4 pm Mass on Saturday as usual, and it will be available to watch on our website by 9 am on Sunday morning.
We apologize for the inconvenience, and hope to see you all in person again soon. Stay safe.
