Ushers
For us to expand our attendance capacity to 50, we will need to have additional ushers at each Mass. Ushers will guide parishioners to their seats and the correct exit after Mass. They will also be present to help ensure that the parish follows all of the current safety requirements. If you can assist in this area, please email us (holyredeemersj@gmail.com), including your name and Mass that you normally attend. At this time ushers will not have to wear masks, however they are welcome to do so.

Mass Limits
The province announced this morning (Friday, May 22) that the limit of 10 people per Mass will remain in effect for this weekend.
The 10 people chosen for each Mass this weekend have been previously notified by the parish. Everyone else will remain in the draw for the following weeks.
For those not able to attend Mass, Msgr. Henneberry will distribute Communion in the side parking lot at the following times: Saturday, 5 pm; Sunday, 10 am; Sunday, noon.
Mass Attendance Update
In anticipation of the government allowing more than 10 people to attend Mass, we encourage you to sign up below to request a spot at Mass as we expect that any increase will still require us to use our current lottery system.
- If you have previously submitted your household, please DO NOT enter again. Your household will stay entered in the draw system for future weeks.
- You must be able to answer NO to everything on the province’s COVID-19 checklist. (AVAILABLE HERE)
- Please do not apply for anyone other than those living in your immediate household.
- Only one application per household please.
- Please only apply for one Mass time.
- Only those selected for a given Mass will be contacted.
PLEASE NOTE: We have already selected the 10 parishioners who will be attending each Mass this weekend. We have no idea when the province will increase our capacity. However, should the province announce an increase to the number of people allowed to attend Mass this weekend, eligible parishioners will be contacted on Friday.
