Dear Parishioners and Friends of St. Basil's,
Welcome to St. Basil's. Our church is now open and our Mass schedule is as usual. It is important to remember that Covid-19 is not over, and that everyone must continue to pay attention to the measures being put in place to limit the spread of the virus for the common good. Kindly take note of the requirements for entry into the Church:
During the celebration of Mass, you will notice changes based on the recommendation of health authorities and the Bishop's directives to ensure everyone’s safety:
There will be ushers and volunteers who will direct you while in the Church in keeping with the new directives. I know that these are anxious times but I am overwhelmed to see you back in Church to worship together with our Parish community. It is a time of learning for all of us as we improvise and adapt to the new normal. I want to assure you that God will never abandon us. As Christians we are children of the Light and of Hope, and our hope lies in Him alone. Be at peace and trust.
Praying for you,
Father Kevin D'Souza
Pastor, St Basil's, Brantford, ON.
