Dear Parishioners:
Last week, we had a successful reopening of Masses. Special thanks to the volunteers who openly shared their time and talents as we re-opened our Church. Thank you for those who celebrated the Holy Mass with us, both physically and online.
Our routines have been changed by COVID-19. All changes that have taken place is our ‘new normal’ for now. Thank you for being so patient and understanding.
Please be reminded of the following:
You and your household are asked to register at your own risk in any of the following Masses at St. Andrew’s:
Weekend Masses:
Saturday – 5pm (anticipated)
Sunday – 8am, 10am, 12pm & 4pm
Weekday Masses:
Monday, Wednesday &Thursday – 8:15am
Tuesday – 6pm
Friday – 9am
Mass for Seniors Only: Saturday – 9am
Confession: Saturday, from 10am-12pm
in the church basement
Please note that Registration for a particular Mass does not guarantee a seat until you receive a confirmation call from the parish office.
The church door opens half hour before Mass starts on weekend Masses and fifteen minutes on weekday Masses. Please arrive at your designated time to allow for orderly and timely admittance. Church door will be closed during Mass.
The parish maintain an attendance roster for everyone’s safety. Anyone who shows up at any Mass who is not registered or who did not receive a confirmation call from the parish office will not be allowed entry to the Church.
Everyone must use the hand sanitizer provided by the usher at the church entrance.
You cannot choose where to sit. The usher will lead you to your seat. Families are seated together but remained physically distanced from anyone who is not in part of your household. You are to remain in your assigned pew for the duration of the Mass.
Seating arrangement will be on a rotation schedule. Your assigned seats will be yours for the entire month, for tracing purposes.
Masks are encouraged but not mandatory. There are no available washrooms and crying room.
Again, I am asking you to be patient and understanding with one another. Let us continue to pray for each other.
+ Father Joe
