As mentioned in last week’s letter, I had hoped to resume my pastoral duties this weekend. Unfortunately, I am still unwell and have contacted the Diocese of Hamilton, requesting to suspend Masses this weekend and this coming week. The church and the Adoration Chapel will be closed this weekend and next week (January 15 – 22, 2022).
In the meantime, I encourage you to take advantage of other parishes for Mass on Sunday and during the week or those Masses that are on television or online.
All meetings that were scheduled for the week of January 16th – January 22nd are postponed until further notice.
Our parish secretary will be working remotely. If you have any urgent messages, or need any assistance, please call or email the office and we will do our best to assist you.
Thank you for all your prayers and support and I encourage you to continue to pray for me.
With prayers,
Fr. Marian Gil OMI
