Stage 3 of Alberta’s relaunch strategy
- As we prepare to welcome parishioners back, the dispensation from the obligation to attend Sunday Mass continues and will be evaluated at the end of August 2021.
- Beginning July 1, 2021, preregistration for mass and contact tracing no longer need to take place. There is no capacity limit.
- Hand sanitizing stations remain as we continue to follow health directives for good hand hygiene. Parishioners may feel comfortable wearing masks. They may continue to do so.
- If you have COVID symptoms like fever or cough or if you are sick, you should stay home and follow AHS directives.
- Some pews would be marked for social distancing and those who prefer to sit alone would be respected.
- Holy Water Fonts will be made available.
- The celebration of mass will look very similar to pre-pandemic time. Altar Servers, Lectors, Music Ministers, Greeters/Ushers and Sacristans are welcome back.
- The Sign of Peace: please continue to offer one another the sign of peace by a bow. A return to a handshake will be evaluated by the end of August 2021.
- The distribution of Holy Communion will continue to be under one species, the Body of Christ.
- The distribution of Holy Communion on the tongue is allowed.
- Music Ministry: All mass parts can be sung. Congregational singing is allowed.

Break-in at our garden shed
Just that you may be aware of, there was a break-in in our garden shed at the back of the church on June 24th, Thursday morning around 5.30am by a man on his bike. We have lost our handheld snow blower and grass trimmer. Kindly be cautious.

2021 Year of the Family - Activities
To celebrate THE YEAR OF THE FAMILY, Providence Renewal Centre has assembled a variety of activities designed to:
• Inspire conversations
• Invite playful prayer
• Creatively ‘waste time’ with God
• Wonder as you wander
• Explore and discover, indoors and outdoors, alone, and together
The materials in the package are only suggestions. Use what appeals to you, courageously try others that appear outside your comfort zone and feel free to adapt any or all to your specific situation. Together, as we engage the world in which we “live and move and have our being” (Acts 17:28), we are united in prayer.
This week create a Wonder Box
Create an “I wonder…?” box, where anyone can place a “wondering” as they arise.
Designate a time to open the “box” and to explore the topics together … perhaps weekly.
