Still in effect – and will be until further notice
Due to the evolving COVID-19 situation, a warning from the Grey Bruce Health Unit, and most importantly to further protect the most vulnerable among us, we at Holy Family, urgently (politely) make it known that as of today, all attendees to weekend and weekday Masses MUST follow Diocesan protocol and wear a mask at all times within the church and throughout the Mass.
Please stay at home if you do not want to wear a mask or are unable to do so. Masks are mandatory and without your cooperation we could be shut down completely. Children over age 2 must also adhere to the regulations.
This is a very difficult notice to send, as it is far from our intention to discourage the practice of the faith, or have persons fall into bitterness towards God, and/or your church community. However, given the current circumstances we have little choice but to appeal to you to examine your practices and adhere to directives. We must all contribute a little, and in time and with God’s graces, we will surely secure a successful end to this pandemic.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
