Announcements/​Upcoming Events

CHANGE OF DATE - BLESSING OF THE GRAVES  will now take place on Sunday, September 27th at 2:00 pm  - Green Acres Cemetery.   Please meet at the gravesites and be mindful of social distancing.  There will be no prayers prior to the blessings in the Mausoleum this year.
*********************************
 WEEKLY DONATIONS:  As COVID-19 continues to spread, the future has never felt so unpredictable.    Despite these difficult times, we thank you for your continued support of our parish, however, the financial and economic implications of the virus have certainly had an impact on our community.   While we have resumed Masses throughout the week, we have only been only able to do so on a limited basis as per guidelines established by the province.   As a result, we have seen a significant decrease in weekly donations.    As our expenses for upkeep of the church continue throughout the pandemic and our revenues decline, we are facing new challenges and are hoping that you will continue to support the church financially during this time.   If you normally make offerings to the church by envelope or cheque you can drop them off during any of the Masses offered or mail to:
Our Lady of Lourdes Church
STN Main PO Box 2015
Winnipeg, MB  R3C 3R3
     You may also wish to consider registering for Pre-Authorized Payments (see information below)
​
Thank you for your support and for being a part of our community.  We wish you and your family health, safety and happiness – together we can overcome all things.   God Bless,
************************************
The following protocols will be in place during Masses until further notice:
-   Only 50 people (including Father Dado) will be allowed in the church at any one time.  A proper count will be taken and the front door will be locked once the maximum capacity has been reached.
-  If you are sick or in a vulnerable state
PLEASE STAY HOME! 
-   Each parishioner will be required to sign in should contact tracing be required.
-   Physical distancing will be in place by blocking off every other pew row, and markings on the floor will be established where to stand during Communion.
-   Hand sanitizing stations are available at the entrance of the church.
-   Holy Water fonts will be empty.
-   Hymnal and worship aides will be removed from pews.
-  Parishioners are discouraged from singing  due to the higher risk of transmission, unless a mask is worn.

As we navigate through these unchartered waters, let us pray for the rapid end to the COVID-19 virus and let us all make good decisions to help keep our community healthy and safe.
