WELCOME TO THE TABLE OF THE LORD!

Posted : Jun-09-2021

With warm hearts, we are pleased to announce that St. Martin of Tours parish will once again be open for public masses. 

Our weekend masses will be celebrated on Saturdays at 5:00 pm and Sundays at 8:00 am, 10:00 am, and 12:00 pm. Reservations are required to attend our weekend masses so please check our Eventbrite page to reserve yours and your family's seat! The Communion Services on weekends are discontinued. Online registrations will open every Sunday at 6.00 pm.

On June 7th, the provincial government announced revisions to the “Roadmap for Reopening” as they relate to places of worship. The updated measures will result in places of worship opening at 15% capacity in Step 1 and 25% capacity in Step 2. We are grateful to the government for these amendments.

Live streaming of services will continue for weekdays at 8.30 am, Saturday 9.00 am and for weekends, on Saturday evening at 5.00 pm and Sunday 8.00 am and 10.00 am. Weddings and baptisms will be celebrated with 15% capacity and funerals will have a maximum of 50 people in attendance. Parish office will be functioning remotely. As in the past, we will ensure that all WorshipSafe Guidelines are strictly followed. We are really grateful for our wonderful volunteers for their commitment and dedication. Special thanks to Stephen de Souza, Odyss and Lawina Notario, Benny Devasia, Dominic Victoria and all the church monitoring volunteers.
