Peace begins with a smile - Mother Teresa
Greetings and Welcome Back
As we prepare to gather
St. Mary of the Assumption Parish Church and St. Kateri Mission Church,
are open and we are taking every precaution to ensure everyone's safety.
It is good that we gather again to worship.
We have resumed our normal Mass schedule .
There is an accompanying document below
outlining the specifics of what to expect upon your return.
For Weekend Masses, we are restricted to 80 Parishioners in Huntsville and 55 for Baysville
for each Mass in order to honour physical distancing guidelines.
Please note, masks are to be worn at all times within the church. Thank you.
The Wednesday 12 Noon Mass
which follows Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament at 11AM,
will also fulfill your Sunday obligation!
Since the dispensation for the Sunday obligation has not yet be lifted though,
you are not required to attend any Mass if you are not comfortable doing so.
To help us control our numbers,
we are asking you to please register for the Mass
you plan to attend through email or by phoning the office and leaving a message.
There will be room for those who have not registered but please arrive early.
For those who have understandably chosen to remain home, the Diocese will be televising and live streaming Sunday Mass from the Cathedral of St. Peter-in-Chains in Peterborough .
Please visit the Mass Schedule and Bulletins tab for the links.
