As Alberta enters stage 3 of its re-opening and COVID recovery plan, many of the previous restrictions for Holy Mass and other parish activities have been lifted. Thanks be to God!
Now that the province has moved us into Stage 2 of our COVID recovery plan we are now allowed 1/3rd capacity at Mass. This means that we are no longer restricted to only having 75 parishioners attend each Mass. Because of eased restrictions we will be returning to our previous schedule of Masses: one Saturday evening Vigil Mass at 5:00pm, and one Sunday morning Mass at 10:00am.
As a result of the new provincial restrictions on gatherings in churches, we will have a limit of 15 parishioners for the next three Sundays. For more information about Diocesan restrictions, please click on the links to the right.
