Two Holy Masses

Dear Loving Brothers and Sisters in Jesus Christ,

With the recent announcement from the BC Health Authority regarding COVID guidelines, we are able to accommodate up to 75 people for in-person Holy Masses. From this Sunday onwards, we will allow 75 parishioners per Holy Mass with two Malayalam Masses on Sunday. In order to better accommodate everyone’s convenience, we are also changing the timing of the Masses from this Sunday onwards.

4:30 pm Sunday Mass with Live Streaming enabled
6:00 pm Sunday Mass (No live streaming)

We are hoping that with these changes the maximum number of our parishioners will be able  to attend Masses in-person. Registration is still required for Masses. Please reach out to your ward leader or on my whatsapp to register.

Thanks
Fr. Sajy Thomas
