CANADIAN CONFERENCE OF CATHOLIC BISHOPS (CCCB) RELEASES JOURNEY THROUGH ADVENT VIDEO SERIES –
The (CCCB) announced a new online weekly video series created to help Canadian Catholic faithful to prepare for the celebration of the birth of Jesus. Entitled “Journey through Advent”, the series is a joint project involving the CCCB’s Office national de liturgie, the National Liturgy Office, and the Office for Evangelization and Catechesis.
The initiative was developed as a way, through the modern method of video messaging, to offer a resource that enriches faith formation during a time of joyful anticipation for the coming of the Lord and Saviour into the world. The videos serve as an introduction to the liturgical Season and present reflections on the Gospel readings for each Sunday in Advent.
The Most Reverend Douglas Crosby, O.M.I., Bishop of Hamilton and the Most Reverend Pierre Goudreault, Bishop of Saint- Anne-de-la-Pocatière, provide spiritual and pastoral guidance on the readings that illustrate the true meaning of Christmas.
This video series is especially relevant given the COVID-19 pandemic that places limitations on in-person gatherings for faith communities. It is hoped that Journey through Advent will be a source of deep spiritual solace and insightful preparation for all.
The videos will be available on the CCCB website each Monday in advance of the upcoming Sunday celebration (23 November, 30 November 7 December and 14 December). https://www.cccb.ca/liturgy-sacraments/resources-in-english/liturgical-calendar/video-reflections/ We invite you to share this information with your friends
MASS TIMES FOR CHRISTMAS
Thank you to all who have completed our survey for the Christmas Mass times. We have settled on two Masses for Christmas this year. Because of our need to clean the Church after each liturgy, we will need time between Masses to prepare for the next group of people. Our volunteer base is limited and that is another reason we will have only one Mass on Christmas Eve and one on Christmas Day.
The Christmas eve Mass will take place at 7:00 p.m. and the Christmas Day Mass will take place at the regular time at 10:00 a.m. Please take note that we will not be taking reservations until December 15th. So many plans change when people get closer to the date so we decided to wait until December 15th before taking reservations. I would ask that if you are planning to come to Mass at either of these times that you call ahead to make sure that there is space for you and your family.
EXTENSION OF DISPENSATION FOR MASS
Last week, Bishop Fabbro announced an extension the obligation to attend Sunday liturgy until after the celebration of Easter.

SUNDAY WORSHIP and COVID 19 PROCEDURES
You need to call the office WEEKLY if you intend on being here for Sunday Mass.
This will help us with the assignment of seats to ensure all who contact us will be assigned a seat for Mass.
YOUR TEMPERATURE needs to be taken before Mass. We do have a the rmometer here, but if it fails and you didn’t take your temperature you will be asked to leave.
We are required to wear a mask for the ENTIRE time we are in the Church.
This regulation has been put in place by the Oxford Health Authority and there are fines for non-compliance. There have been a few people who have medical conditions that prevent them from wearing a mask. If that is the case with anyone please inform the screeners that you are not able to wear a mask. You will be required to initial the sign in sheet beside your name and you will be permitted to enter the building. You are not required to inform us of your medical condition that prevents you from wearing a mask but just inform us you have a condition that prevents you from wearing the mask.
When the ushers invite you to sit at a particular place that is your assigned place for the duration of the liturgy. This is to ensure social distancing and contact tracing. Please
do NOT move to another seat as that seat may have already been assigned to another person or persons.
Thank you for your cooperation
