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.

Confessions

This Saturday, May 16, Msgr. Henneberry will be hearing Confessions in the church from 3:00 to 3:45 pm. Please enter the church through the front doors and exit via the wheelchair ramp door. Unless you have been selected to attend Mass this Saturday, we regret that you must leave the church before Mass begins so that we remain in compliance with current COVID-19 regulations.

Mass Attendance Requests

  • Due to the limit of 10 parishioners per Mass, the fairest method is to use a lottery system to select those who can attend.
  • You must be able to answer NO to everything on the province’s COVID-19 checklist. (AVAILABLE HERE)
  • Parishioners are asked to fill out the online request form linked below if they wish to attend a Mass.
  • If you know someone who does not have internet access, we ask you to let them know that they may call the parish office (653-6830) to participate in the draw. However, we encourage everyone who has internet access to apply online to simplify things for parish staff.
  • Please do not apply for anyone other than those living in your immediate household.
  • You only have to submit your information using the form ONCE. Your household will stay entered in the draw system for future weeks.
  • Only one application per household please.
  • Please only apply for one Mass time.
  • Once a household is drawn to attend Mass, they will not be eligible to have their name drawn again until everyone on the waiting list for that Mass has had an opportunity to attend.
  • Draw for the upcoming weekends’ Masses will be held on Wednesdays and those selected will be informed that day.
  • Those selected will receive an email from the parish (or a phone call for those without internet access) which will also include additional information such as which entrances to use, and seating arrangements.
  • Only those selected for a given Mass will be contacted. If you don’t hear from us, your name will remain in the draw for the following weeks. Please DO NOT call the office if you don’t hear from us.
