November 17, 2020

Dr. Morrison has announced today that beginning FRIDAY NOVEMBER 20 MASKS ARE MANDATORY AT ALL PLACES OF WORSHIP. This requirement is in effect until February 15, 2021.

Public Health PEI is compelled to make these changes due to the threat of the second wave. Several provinces outside our “bubble” are seriously considering a lockdown that will include places of worship. We shall cooperate with this latest regulation in the hope that we will be able to keep our church doors open!

The new vaccine, at least, offers some prospect of hope.

Sincerely in Christ,

Most Rev. Richard Grecco

Bishop of Charlottetown

PLEASE NOTE: The requirement for mask wearing remains in effect. Many thanks for your attention to this Public Health and Diocesan directive.

Increased capacity for Mass!

When you register, please note which group you registered for so you know which door to enter and please begin to arrive at least 20 minutes before Mass time.

If you register for the North (Sydney St) Group, use the main stairway on Great George St. and enter using the centre door.

If you register for the South (Dorchester St) Group, use the main stairway on Great George St. and enter using the door closest to Dorchester Street (left door facing the church).

The area will be clearly marked. You will be greeted outside by an usher, and guided in to sit with your group.

We hope to be able to increase capacity at other Masses soon!
