NEW! Per health unit guidance, complete this
self-assessment tool before you leave for Mass.
If for any reason you do not pass the screening, please watch Mass from home at either Good Shepherd or Ste. Anne's.
Reopening Next Weekend: Following the guidelines from our health unit and the Diocese of London, we will reopen for in-person Masses starting on the evening of Saturday February 20th. Reservations for weekend Masses are required and will be available on Tuesdays at 4:00pm. We will return to our regular weekend Mass schedule and will live-stream all weekend Masses. For weekday Masses and Confession schedule, please see our website as we return to our normal schedule the following week.
Ash Wednesday: This year, Ash Wednesday Masses will only be available online (8:30am from Ste. Anne’s and 7:00pm from Good Shepherd). Ash Wednesday serves as a powerful reminder of our need for repentance and conversion. Bishop Fabbro has given permission for ashes to be distributed to the faithful after the final blessing at Masses on the First Sunday of Lent (February 20th and 21st).
We are excited to be reopening our doors. Please remember that returning to Mass is optional.
We are all excited to return home to our churches and communities. Given the capacity restrictions that are in place when we reopen our churches, parishes will continue to livestream Masses as much as possible, recognizing that all will not be able to gather at this time.
Because some people may be sick, have a compromised immune system, or feel uncomfortable returning to church, our Bishop
has dispensed everyone from their Sunday obligation until Easter.
In other words, if you wish to wait to return to Mass in-person, please feel comfortable doing so. We look forward to seeing you in person or online.
We are in need of volunteers to serve in two important new ministries, hospitality and cleaning. If you are able to support, please click on the link for your parish and sign-up.
