BREAK FOR JESUS IS HAPPENING VIRTUALLY - Break for Jesus 2021 VIRTUAL Catechetical Camp: March 15-19, 2021. Attention children in grades 3-8! ONLINE application process this year. Go to www.b4j.ca/register, or the Registration tab at the top of the b4j.ca homepage. No code required this year. Registration will close on Sunday February 21 or when we reach the maximum number of participants. The program is bilingual. Space is limited, register quickly.

IN CASE OF A FUNERAL: During this time Parishioners should know that they have the option of having a funeral service in the church. The body may be brought it on the eve of the funeral with a simple Panakhyda at 7pm (10 persons in attendance) and the Funeral Service the following morning at 11am (again, 10 persons in attendance). The advantages of the church option are obvious. All health protocols such as distancing and face coverings are/must be followed.

OPPORTUNITY FOR HOLY CONFESSION - One of the effects of lock-down is sin. A sure cure is a good Examination of Conscience and a visit to the confessional. Fr. Roman is available every evening during Vespers, 7 - 8 p.m. but to be sure, call him at 905-459-8888. Mornings are also possible, but for this you must call in advance. "In the life of the body a man is sometimes sick, and unless he takes medicine, he will die. Even so in the spiritual life a man is sick on account of sin. For that reason he needs medicine so that he may be restored to health; and this grace is bestowed in the Sacrament of Penance." (St. Thomas Aquinas). All health protocols are followed during confession and alternative locations (outdoors for example) are possible.
