Step 2 effective March 1, 2022

https://www.catholicyyc.ca/blog/covid19

The Government of Alberta has announced the easing of health and safety restrictions implemented in three steps. In case you missed it, please read the updated COVID liturgical guidelines in the Diocese of Calgary for Step 2 (effective March 1).

During this time of transition in the province’s easing of health and safety restrictions, we are all asked to exercise respect, charity, and kindness with one another and to be conscious of the varying comfort levels of people especially in the following areas:
The wearing of masks is no longer required by the Province except when returning from quarantine for COVID-19, and people are free to continue the use of facemasks if they choose to. This applies to everyone including the clergy and to anyone serving in a liturgical capacity.

There has been no mention of physical distancing in Step 2, in order to respect people’s personal space and comfort level, however, it would be a prudent practice to allow for some distance between people of different households.

At this time, for the sign of peace, we are asked to exchange peace with those outside of our household with a bow or a nod and not by a handshake.

In social settings, it would be charitable not to presume that others are comfortable to shake hands or to hug.

People who have symptoms not related to a pre-existing condition should avoid going to the church or being in public as a courtesy to others. Quarantining is still required of those who are experiencing COVID-19.

We are all encouraged to observe proper hand hygiene by sanitizing our hands at any of the sanitizer stations in the church or by washing our hands regularly with soap and water.
We are encouraged to observe respiratory etiquette, such as coughing or sneezing into a bent elbow and the prompt disposal of any used tissues in trash cans.

In Step 2, we are grateful that congregational singing may now resume in the Diocese.

We take this opportunity to thank all of you for your cooperation in observing the health and safety restrictions for more than two years now. At this time, we pace our walk together toward the easing of these restrictions with a lot of care and concern for the good of everyone.

A message from Bishop McGrattan

Over 500 small groups shared what was most important and urgent in their hearts during the Synod listening sessions. Bishop McGrattan highlights the themes found in the responses: “There were many challenges that surfaced during these listening sessions but there was one overwhelming concern which was voiced, and that was for families, youth and children in the life of the faith community.”

- What does Jesus empower me to do and say today?
- How will I embrace the Cross of Christ this week?
- How will this discipleship enrich the Kingdom of God?

January 28, 2022 – Canada’s Bishops Announce Indigenous Reconciliation Fund to Support Projects Across Canada

– Canada’s Catholic Bishops have agreed to establish a new registered charity to support and advance healing and reconciliation initiatives. The charity is expected to manage the Indigenous Reconciliation Fund, which will accept contributions from 73 dioceses across Canada in order to fulfill the $30 million financial commitment made by Canada’s Bishops in September.

“The Bishops of Canada are fully committed to addressing the historical and ongoing trauma caused by the residential school system,” said Bishop Raymond Poisson, President of the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops (CCCB). “In moving forward with our collective financial commitment, we will continue to be guided by the experience and wisdom of Indigenous peoples across the country”.
