From Fr. Ian
To parishioners of St. Ambrose & St. Catherine’s
Parishes re: Covid restrictions lifted
The grace of our Lord guide and strengthen you as we now enter into Stage 3 of Alberta’s Covid plan. It may seem a bit nerve-wracking for some so we should take care to be mindful of others who are still uncomfortable with the new freedoms.
So now that we have opened up, we have some things to do as a parish:
1. Coaldale and Picture Butte Town Councils have mandated no masking; therefore, you do not need to wear a mask at Mass unless you choose to do so.
2. There will still be hand sanitizer at the entrances of the churches. Please continue to use this as you enter.
3. The Dispensation from the obligation to attend
Sunday Mass continues at this time.
4. There is no Offertory or collection during Mass, so we will still have baskets for your donations at the
entrances of the churches.
5. There is still no handshaking at the Sign of Peace which means there is also no hand-holding at the
Our Father.
6. Communion will continue to be received only as the Consecrated Host.
That’s it, everything else is open. There is no maximum number of people who can attend Mass, there can be a choir and Mass parts may be sung, all other ministries may resume as well, and we can sing again as a parish.
I pray that we all can work together to make this period of time a time of unity and peace as we look out for each other, our families and our community.
May God’s mercy and love continue to guide you.
Your Brother in Christ,
Fr. Ian Gagne’
