Archbishop J. Michael Miller, CSB shares his reaction to the suspension of in-person religious gatherings, how the Archdiocese is responding, and his hopes for Christmas.

The Catholic community of the Archdiocese of Vancouver remains committed to doing its part to help stem the tide of this pandemic by following Dr. Bonnie Henry’...s new public health orders. "I am saddened," stated Archbishop J. Michael Miller, CSB , "that the celebration of Mass with a congregation, a comfort and strength to so many, has to be suspended at this time. Most of our parishes are already livestreaming Mass, and I encourage the faithful to participate in this way. Our churches will remain open for private prayer and individual Confession. Funerals, weddings and baptisms will continue to be celebrated with no more than 10 people. If we act with determination now to decrease the spread of the virus, we hope that we will be able to celebrate Christmas joyfully and with greater participation.

Good morning, fellow parishioners! The assignments for the November 8 Mass have been sent since Sunday. Thank you to those who have responded. For the rest, please check your email inboxes and respond accordingly. The sooner the better. This will give us time to re-assign your seats if you are unable to attend. Thank you!

As Dr. Bonnie Henry, BC's Public Health Officer, had announced this afternoon, in-person religious gatherings and worship services are suspended under the new Province-wide restrictions. There will be no masses at OLGC until December 7th. Those who were assigned to attend Mass this weekend will be re-scheduled to the next Sunday Mass after the Church re-opens. Take care everyone. Keep well. God bless us all.

Fr. John's message for this Sunday, November 1, 2020 - the Solemnity of All Saints.

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ: On Monday, October 27, Dr. Bonnie Henry, Provincial Health Officer for British Columbia, made the following statement: It ...is now the expectation that people will wear a non-medical mask in public spaces. In light of this statement and in order to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 in our Province, I am urging that all parishioners wear masks during Holy Mass, except for the reception of Holy Communion. Exceptions are made, of course, for those who cannot wear a mask because of a disability or medical condition. I wish also to take this occasion to remind everyone that, as a result of direct consultation with the Public Health Officer and for the safety of all, the faithful are strongly recommended to receive Holy Communion only on the hand, for the duration of the pandemic.
