Mass Celebration (Arabic)

Brothers and Sisters in Christ!

As the Parish reopens its doors for physical attendance of Sunday Mass, and with a 15% capacity limit, Registration and screening are essential requirements set out by the Government of Ontario to ensure that we are all safe. As the Government has communicated, tracing is important in preventing the spread of COVID-19.

Accordingly, only those registered are welcome to attend any specific service. The reason why registration is important is that it allows us to communicate with anyone who attends a liturgy in the event that someone tests positive for COVID-19 to ensure that we are all proactive in getting tested and stopping the spread of COVID-19.

In order to keep everyone safe, we share with you guidelines that we ask you to read and share with your household.
