Hi Sunday Community,

As you know, we have been announcing a return to in-person Sunday Masses.  We had lined up permits to use our room at Msgr Fraser Annex on Sunday Nov. 6 and Nov. 20, and to have these liturgies also available on Zoom, making them "hybrid" events (both in-person and online).

Unfortunately, we are now finding it necessary to CANCEL these plans.  The face-to-face gatherings will NOT happen on those dates, and we will be continuing with the weekly Zoom liturgies for the foreseeable future.

The principal reason for this cancellation is the ongoing concern about COVID-19. Some of our people, including among our priests, are worried about getting back together at a time when the infection rate of COVID in the community at large is rapidly rising again.  In Ontario, the rate of hospitalizations because of COVID is also rising, and is now higher that it has been in over a year.
We will therefore exercise "an abundance of caution", to use a phrase that has become familiar to us,  and hold off on getting together in person for the time being. We retain our "approval" to book permits with the school board and can easily set up new dates in the future.

PLEASE COPY THIS ANNOUNCEMENT TO THE PEOPLE PROGRESS.

Best wishes to all,

Brian
