St. Andrew: August 30 – September 7

Season of Creation

From September 1 to October 4, Christians around the world celebrate the Season of Creation. The Season of Creation is our special time for the Creator and each other: Some of us pray, some of us do hands-on projects, some of us advocate.
We all protect creation. It's powerfully good work that's urgently needed.
The Season of Creation unites the world's 2.2 billion Christians around one shared purpose: With so much injustice all around us, now is the time for Christians everywhere to come together and show the world how to love each other and creation. (https://seasonofcreation.org/)

- November 7-8.

ShareLife envelopes will be made available on the weekends before the collections.

 

The Pontifical Collection for the Holy Land (in substitution of Good Friday's) will take place on the second weekend in September – September 13 – (the day before the Feast of the Exaltation of the Cross).

Please bring your donation in an envelope, writing "Holy Land" on it.

 

Resumption of Parish Bulletin

Parish bulletins will resume as of the next weekend (Sept. 5/6). In regards to the distribution of bulletins the following guidelines are recommended:

- At this time, Bulletins will be left in an appropriate area where those interested may pick one up when departing Mass as opposed to having ushers physically distribute bulletins.
- Bulletins will be available only at the end of Masses.

If you would like to baptize your child please call the Parish office for the requirements and to make an appointment to register. The next opening Infants' Baptism celebration is for October 10^th.

 

Parish Office

The Parish office is open to the public on Tuesdays and Thursdays, from 9 am to 4 pm, by appointment only. We kindly ask you to phone or email the Office to book an appointment.

 

We're in this together

Please let us keep on remembering that we are called to strictly observe and implement all the health and safety protocols aimed at defending everyone from the spread of Covid-19, namely the mandatory use of masks in all enclosed public spaces, the social distancing measures and the frequent washing and sanitizing of hands.

Our Archbishop keeps on granting dispensation from physically attending the Holy Mass.

 

Abundant Blessings!
