Communicants Counting Machine, Wave your hand ‘ONCE’ please
All Holy Communion participants are requested to register their names at the entrance and as we enter the church interior. Please wave your hand once between the sensor poles of the counting machine if you are to take Holy Communion. Please do not wave if you are not taking Holy Communion. Thanks to everyone for your cooperation.

How to come for Holy Communion
For receiving Holy Communion, please come in an orderly manner (bench by bench) to avoid crowding and to keep physical distance. If you need to leave church early, please come to the front through the side aisles (not middle aisle) to receive Holy Communion.

Please attend services virtually if you have not received RSVP confirmation from parish.

We strongly recommend our beloved congregants to use the online self-screening tool before visiting Church (https://covid-19.ontario.ca/self-assessment/). We discourage any person from visiting the Church when they are feeling unwell.

We suggest all to maintain physical distancing in the parking lot, church entrance and within the Church. Pews/chairs and aisles have signs to remind participants to distance physically.

We request that family members who live together sit together, but distance must be maintained from other members.
