As the province lessens COVID restrictions, our parish offices will re-open to their regular weekday hours. They will be open Monday to Thursday from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and Fridays from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Unfortunately, the reduced revenues that the parish has faced during the pandemic does not make it possible for the parish to pay a receptionist on evenings and weekends.
At our Sunday Masses beginning on February 26th and 27th, seating will be every other pew instead of every third pew. This decision was made by the pastoral council in consultation with other parishioners. As the province allows full capacity as of March 1, 2022, there will be further measures to open up seating in the coming weeks.
I am grateful to all those who have worked at the doors of our parish to maintain safe worship throughout the pandemic. This has been a time of frustration for many. All of the measures that have been implemented at the parish have been discerned in full consultation with the parish community. Apologies to the few who have been disappointed that the parish did not follow their individual instructions but rather implemented measures that were discerned through wider consultation with the entire parish community.
Masks must continue to be worn by all who attend celebrations at St. Peter’s Church.
