Pre-registration information shall include:

Your first and last name
Your address
Your phone number
The date and time of Mass you wish to attend

Collection of this information is mandatory per Alberta Health Services in order to maintain a contact tracing list should an outbreak occur.

After pre-registering, ingress to the Church will commence 30 mins before scheduled mass time. Safety coordinators will be onsite to remind everyone to respect physical distancing rules.

Entry to the Church will be closed before Mass commences.

Before entering the Church, you will be asked a series of COVID-19 screening questions supplied by Alberta Health Services. Please remember to wear a mask - for your safety and for the safety of those around you.

An usher will seat you when entering the Church to respect physical distancing rules. Sanitize your hands when entering and leaving the Church.

Please follow the directions of the Priest for receiving communion and when leaving the Church.

Thank you for your patience as we respect Alberta Health Services rules in order to keep everyone safe.
