Important Mass Update

Starting next Sunday July 12, Mass will resume for St. John the Baptist parishioners at St. Paul’s Church, Thickwood. Mass will be held at 7:00 pm on Sunday evening. We need 5 volunteers each week to help ensure the COVID-19 guidelines are followed. If you are able to help, please contact Father Augustine (fraugustine@stjohnthebaptistparish.ca)

Due to COVID-19 restrictions, you will have to register in advance in order to attend Mass. You can register through the office at St. Paul’s Church (on Thursdays only) at 780-791-4305 or register using the Sign Up Genius link. Information concerning mandatory health forms and additional health guidelines can be found on the St. Paul Church website https://www.stpaulparishwb.com. Parishioners are also welcome to attend the other masses at St. Paul’s Church by following the same registration procedures as above. If the numbers warrant it, an additional Mass may be added in the future.

Prayer against Coronavirus

Almighty and merciful Father,

We thank you for the life that is your gift,

For the providence, that sustains us,

And for your wisdom that directs the course of our days.

Forgive our sins against your love,

Against each other and against your creation.

The threat of an infection of coronavirus is upon us today.

This disease causes fear among us and has claimed some lives.

We humbly beg you, loving Father

To deliver us from this and other diseases.

Heal those who are afflicted and stop the spread of the virus.

Strengthen us in charity to care for each other.

We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,

Who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit

One God for ever and ever. Amen

Deacon Raymond Chan’s Sunday Homily
