I would like to invite all of you to join us for Mass on Saturday evening at 5 p.m. or Sunday morning at 10:00 a.m., as we celebrate the Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time.

As there is no bulletin this week, I just wanted to communicate to you some things that are happening in the parish in the next couple of weeks.

Mass Intentions for the next several weeks are still available. Please call the Parish Office to make a request.

I am away for the next 2 weeks. Mass will be celebrated daily and on the weekend as per our usual schedule. Confessions however, will be by appointment only, during this time. Please call the Parish Office. 

As you probably are aware, effective July 13, 2020, the Regional Municipality of Waterloo passed By-Law (Number 20-036) requiring the wearing of face masks or protective shields in all public places in the region, including places of worship. As such, you will be required to wear a mask when coming to Mass or to the church.
