Public Health has informed us of a possible COVID-19 exposure at St. Pius X Church / Holy Redeemer Parish during a funeral on Wednesday, September 29, between the hours of 12 pm – 2 pm.
If you weren’t present at this funeral, you have no need to be concerned. If you were present, Public Heath advises that you self-monitor for any symptoms for 14 days after the date of the exposure. Our upcoming weekend Masses are not affected, and will proceed as scheduled with all usual COVID precautions.
We are still without teachers for multiple grades of our Religious Education program. Without teachers, we will be unable to offer classes for those grades. If you are available to volunteer as a teacher or teaching assistant on Sunday mornings from 10 am – 11 am, please consider helping. Please contact the parish office (653-6830 or stpiusx@nb.aibn.com) if you can assist.
Contact tracing forms are now located in each pew. Monsignor Henneberry explains why we will now be requiring parishioners to fill out these forms each time they attend Mass at St. Pius X Church / Holy Redeemer Parish.
