State of Public Health Emergency and Local Face Mask Bylaw https://www.catholicyyc.ca/blog/covid19

Now that the Alberta Government has declared a State of Public Health Emergency here are the Health Protocol measures to follow as we celebrate the Mass.

Those experiencing flu like symptoms are asked not to attend Mass in person. The Dispensation from the obligation to attend Sunday Mass is still in effect. Download Decree. Livestreaming of our 10:30 Sunday Mass will continue (available here).

We are limited to 1/3 fire code occupancy. As we have been operating at that capacity for most of our Masses we will not be requiring pre-registration. Please come early. The doors will be locked once we have reached our capacity of 130 people. There will be an additional Latin Mass at 2:00pm. Beginning November 28 we will provide overflow seating in our Parish Hall for the 10:30am Mass for up to 50 people. The Mass will be livestreamed and Holy Communion will be brought to the Hall. Those in the hall will exit through the Hall doors.

Wearing face masks inside the church facility is mandatory for all the faithful. Parishioners who are not able to wear a mask for medical reasons can be exempt except when receiving Holy Communion. The use of hand sanitizer at the entrance and exit to the church is encouraged. Kindly practice respiratory etiquette.

Congregational singing is suspended at this time. Physical distancing is required between non-related households, inside and outside the church.

Once Mass is over, everyone is asked to exit directly outdoors through the narthex or the South exit door. Please do not socialize before or after the Mass inside the church.

Please leave your kneeler down and vacate your seats within 5 minutes at the end of the Mass to allow your seat to be sanitized.

Watch livestream on Facebook or YouTube.

A Message from Fr. Pilmaiken

To Bring Good News

As soon as one gets to open the newspaper, turn on the radio, or check the news online or on TV, it seems as if the words of Jesus are not being fulfilled.

Our Lord indeed was anointed, as a king was usually anointed. His anointing was not to govern as a regular king, in the political sense. The mission statement of our Lord is not on the political sphere, but on the spiritual, that which transcends this world. Therefore, it is important to keep our eyes fixed on what the Lord promises to us. His agenda is not of this world, but from the world to come.

We are being hit by illness, physical, spiritual and emotional. We have fears, shortages, wars, conflicts. But that is the agenda of this world. The agenda of the Lord is completely different. Despite the challenges, He proclaims good news to the poor, the outcast, the lonely; release to the captives, either in the corporal or spiritual sense; He proclaims sight to the blind, restoration of the infirm, freedom to the oppressed, and above all the year of the Lord’s favour.

During these times, we have to embrace the Lord and take His word into our hearts. It is not a way of denying the current circumstances, but it is a way to find hope in the midst of trials.

Therefore, do your part as part of the Body of Christ. We have a mission ahead of us, therefore, exercise the gifts given to you. Embrace the Lord and embrace His word, so that you may bring the good news of hope, faith, and the promise of Christ to the world.

Healing Corner:

Lord, I love You and desire that all You have spoken would penetrate my heart and draw me into all truth. Help me to accept You not only as a little child born in Bethlehem but also as the great Prophet of Truth. May I never be offended by the words You speak, and may I always be open to Your prophetic role in my life. Jesus, I trust in You. Amen

Pope’s Intention for January 2022

Pope Francis: “How is it possible that many religious minorities currently suffer discrimination or persecution? How can we allow that in this society, which is so civilized, there are people who are persecuted simply because they publicly profess their faith? … As human beings, we have so many things in common that we can live alongside each other, welcoming our differences with the joy of being brothers and sisters.”

This month’s attention: We pray for all those suffering from religious discrimination and persecution; may their own rights and dignity be recognized, which originate from being brothers and sisters in the human family.

Synod Diocesan Phase – Updates

“a time to plant dreams, draw forth prophecies and visions, allow hope to flourish, inspire trust, bind up wounds, weave together relationships, awaken a dawn of hope, learn from one another and create a bright resourcefulness that will enlighten minds, warm hearts, give strength to our hands” ~ Pope Francis.

Entering the Ordinary Time

During the Ordinary Time, the Church celebrates the fullness of the mystery of the Lord Jesus. The people of God offer praise by celebrating the Paschal Mystery of the Death and Resurrection of Jesus. Sunday is the original Christian Feast Day, following the tradition handed down from Apostolic times, for this way the day of the Lord’s Resurrection.

Today’s Christian communities continue this tradition by celebrating every Sunday as the day of the risen Lord. (Source: ORDO)
