Celebration of the Mass at Holy Cross
The Dispensation from Mass has been lifted. The faithful are asked to attend Mass on Sundays and holy days of obligation. The sick and medically vulnerable have always been dispensed from the obligation to attend Sunday Mass. If you are ill, elderly or medically vulnerable in any way, you are urged to continue to take every precaution to keep yourself and others safe.
Mases and Gatherings
We use the Gerein Centre entrance as the primary entrance and have the Douglas Avenue doors open as well on the weekends. Please sanitize your hands when you come in. Although physical distancing will no longer be required, we strongly suggest to continue distancing practices.
Holy Water Fonts
Holy water is again available.
Sign of Peace
Physical touching (shaking hands, hugging, etc.) is now up to the individual and their comfort level. The Sign of Peace may be expressed with handshakes, hugs, a bow or similar ritual gesture.
Communion
Father continues to distribute communion with the assistance of one extraordinary minister. Recipients are encouraged to use hand sanitizer before they receive. Reception in the hand is to be the norm. Father is comfortable with Communion on the tongue for those who would prefer. Individuals with cold or flu symptoms are asked to stay home until well. Reception of the Blood of Christ will not resume at this time. Blessed Blood will not be offered at this time.
