See below for the Covid-19 Vaccination Policy of the Diocese of Hamilton – Amendments
Please note that for Holy Family Parish, volunteers are requested to submit their Proof of Vaccination to the Parish office prior to October 31st. Unvaccinated volunteers are still welcome to continue to offer their services, using rapid testing to meet the Diocesan Policy Requirements. Please contact the parish office preferably by Oct. 25th so we can prepare accordingly and advise you of parish procedure..
Highlights from the amendment:
- Every volunteer who is active in parish life, will be attending functions at the parish or will be volunteering during times where they will come in contact with other individuals is required to submit proof of vaccination to the Parish Priest (or his delegate)
- For the unvaccinated and those who choose not to show / submit proof of vaccination, a rapid covid -19 test must be carried out at the church, administered by a delegate appointed by the parish priest on the days they are volunteering in the church.
