September 24, 2021 - Update
Dear sisters and brothers in Christ
Jesus:
Yesterday evening, we received new directives from
the NB Minister of Health regarding the sanitary measures to be
implemented in our churches. The 4 bishops of NB agree on the
following measures requested to make our churches as safe as
possible for our faithful.
1. No proof of vaccination required for Sunday
Masses, weekday Masses, baptisms, prayer groups and
more.
However, the following measures will
apply:
-
Wearing a mask will be compulsory at all
times.
-
The occupancy capacity of your place of worship
must be limited to 50% or less.
-
A distance of two meters must be maintained
between the different households present (family
bubbles).
-
Singing will not be allowed in the
assembly. However, the songs of soloists and choir are allowed
but respecting the 4 meters as before.
-
The names and contact details of all those present
should be recorded and the lists maintained.
-
Have masks and bottles of disinfectant available
at entrances, in the sanctuary and sacristy, etc.
-
No one showing symptoms of COVID-19 or having been
instructed to self-isolate should enter the place of
worship.
2. Proof of vaccination required and maintained for
weddings and funerals
All people will need to show full proof of
vaccination when accessing certain events, such as
weddings, funerals, conferences or workshops. Wearing
a mask will be compulsory at all times. For funerals and
weddings, there is no distancing required which allows for full
capacity and there is no obligation to keep records for those
present. But to be admitted, a person must have proof of full
vaccination.
For the
catechesis of
children, we will follow the rules in force in the
schools. Catechists should be fully vaccinated. When
other adults attend meetings, they should also be doubly
vaccinated. For a celebration in the church, we follow the
rule in force in our churches.
It is very desirable that the employees
of the parish be fully vaccinated. If not, they
will need to wear a mask at all times and be tested for COVID
periodically according to government
policy.
For access to
the secretariat , we will accept any person
who comes there to obtain information or a service. If the
person is not vaccinated, they will need to wear a
mask.
We understand the concerns of Public Health and
continue to collaborate by following the guidelines issued to
reduce the transmission of COVID-19. We are all concerned
about the current situation in the province. I am very
grateful to all the parish priests and teams of volunteers who put
everything in place to ensure the health and well-being of our
faithful.
May the Lord bless us and continue to watch over
us!
