COVID-19: Reopening our doors

Dear parishioners, here is the good news that you have all been waiting for! We are ready to open the doors of our church in gradual phases. Please read this letter carefully and share it with parishioners who may not receive our emails.

1.Watch the information video

Before coming to the church please watch the information video which shows safetyguidelines and sanitary precautions one should follow.

2. During Mass

We ask you to please refrain from communal singing or responding during Mass. Say it in your hearts. Please do not shake hands with anyone or engage in any physical contact during Mass.

3. Holy Communion:

By the request of the Archdiocese, you may receive the Holy Communion in your hands only. There will be no communion line. The Eucharistic minister will bring HolyCommunion to you.  When receiving Holy Communion, place your hands in front of you as far out as possible. Wait until the Eucharistic minister has walked away to remove your mask and consume the Eucharist. Once you have consumed the Eucharist, please place your mask on your face.

4. After Mass:

Please wait for an usher to guide you to an exit. We realize everyone will be excited to see their friends after so long. For health reasons, we ask you not to socialize while you are inside the church. We kindly ask you not to loiter in the parking lot. Please maintain a physical distance of 2 meters.

5. Confessions

There will be no confessions before or during weekend Masses. If you would like to receive the sacrament of reconciliation call to the office or send us an email at office@hnoj.ca
