My Dear Parishioners, As the Province of Ontario enters Stage One of the Roadmap to reopen, the Diocese of Sault Ste Marie authorizes public celebration of Mass in the churches up to a maximum of 15% Capacity. As per this authorization, St. Gerard Majella is excited to welcome you back into your spiritual home starting on Saturday, June 12, 2021 @ 5:00 pm. All procedures for public health safety measures remain in place. At this time there will be two public Masses on the weekend: Saturday @ 5:00 pm and Sunday @ 11:00 am. No reservations needed. Admittance will be on a FIRST COME FIRST SERVE basis. For those who do not wish to attend the public celebration of Mass at this time, we will continue to broadcast Sunday Mass @ 9:00 am on our parish website and Facebook page. We are taking every precaution to protect the health and safety of everyone who comes into our church. However, as safety is a shared responsibility, I request everyone to pay close attention to all the protocols and guidelines that have been put into place by the Diocese of Sault Ste Marie. Kindly read the guidelines and protocols in its entirety before returning to the church. Please visit our website www.stgerardssm.ca to view the guidelines and protocols. Thank you in advance for your diligent cooperation, continued support and generosity. May God bless you and your families!
