It is our pleasure to welcome you all back home to our parish church of St Michael. As most of you are aware the provincial government has allowed all places of worship in Ontario to resume activity at 30% capacity.  In the Diocese of Hamilton Bishop Crosby released instructions for the opening of our churches.  The full text of the Bishop’s letter can be found on the Diocesan website (www.hamiltondiocese.com).

For the duration of the pandemic only the main University Avenue doors of the church will be available for use and the accessibility entrance off Hemlock only for those who need it.   All other doors will be for emergency exits only.  Additionally the Parish Hall, and the downstairs washrooms will all be closed. 

Confessions will be heard in the usual place in order to allow for social distancing during the Sacrament of Reconciliation.

There will be many people who do not yet feel comfortable returning to public worship or to be in larger crowds.  It is important to know that the Bishop’s dispensation from the obligation to Sunday Mass continues until the end of the pandemic. 

We are thrilled to welcome you back home!
