Dear Parishioners of St. Gabriel’s Passionist Parish,
In compliance with the Government of Ontario’s extended stay-at-home order announced April 16, 2021 parishes must restrict attendance inside the church to 10 people. Due to these measures, public Masses must be temporarily cancelled. Private Masses will be celebrated for intentions of parishioners and for those suffering from Covid-19.
While we recognize it is not a substitute for attending Mass in person, we encourage you to view online/livestream/televised Masses. A list of these Masses can be found on www.archtoronto.org. You may view the weekend Mass from our parish by visiting this website.
We continue to thank you for your continued financial contribution during this time. You can mail or drop off your envelope contribution to the parish office. As well you can sign up for Pre-Authorized Giving by printing the form https://stgabrielsparish.ca/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/St-Gabriels-PAG-Brochure-March-20131.pdf or requesting a form from the parish office.
So many of the faithful rely on the reception of the sacraments and our churches to find solace, peace and support during this period of pandemic. We will make every effort to continue our outreach to you. We also ask that you find opportunities to assist those who are vulnerable or alone among us.
Please continue to pray for those who are sick and those caring for them. We pray that you and your loved ones remain safe and healthy. May God continue to bless you now and always.
Yours in Christ
Rev. Fr. Brando Recana CP
Pastor of St. Gabriel’s Passionist Parish
