Parish Updates Regarding

COVID-19

Mask use continues to be mandatory inside the church (at this time).

• While mandatory mask use in public indoor settings is no longer required as per Alberta AHS guidelines (except in specific situations), a City of Calgary municipal bylaw still requires mask use.  The city will vote on July 5th, 2021 to determine whether to repeal this bylaw.
