NEW: After our Cardinal's discussions with the Medial Officer of Health for Peel Region, our most recent revision (which was issued this morning) of "our church capacity limited to 50 people" is now void. We are again able to accommodate up to 30% of original capacity, limited by social distancing. We are also able to proceed with Confirmation this coming Tue Nov 10. At this time, no meetings may be held in the Church Hall. As communicated yesterday, the Province of Ontar...io has announced a new colour coded system. (Keeping Ontario Safe and Open) that will identify various levels of restrictions regionally to address the spread of Covid-19. Peel Region is now in the Control stage (Red) with specific measures. The Medical Officer of Health provided additional instruction for places of worship to follow. As mentioned in our previous communication, we had a number of questions regarding the need for some of these restrictions, given our strong record of rigid health and safety measures through the WorshipSafe guidelines, especially as they relate to liturgical celebrations. The Cardinal had the opportunity to speak directly with the Medical Officer of Health for Peel Region as well as a number of elected officials. They understood our concerns and are also working tirelessly to limit the alarming increase of positive cases in Peel Region. This morning, the Region of Peel revised their guidance for places of worship from instruction to strong recommendations. Accordingly, we have amended our implementation measures as follows: Parishes that are responsibly implementing the WorshipSafe measures can continue to operate liturgical celebrations (Mass, Weddings, Funerals, Baptisms, etc.) at 30% capacity. Please ensure strict adherence to sanitization, distancing and other measures as outlined in our protocols. Recognizing the significance of the situation in Peel Region, no meetings should take place in parish halls or other church spaces at this time. The only exception would be those deemed as essential services ie. Alcoholics Anonymous/Narcotics Anonymous Meetings. These meetings should be restricted to 10 people and ensure that all appropriate health and safety measures are in place (use of masks, hand sanitizer, physical distancing, etc.) Parish offices should move to Phase 2 Limited Operations as previously directed. To be clear, the situation in the Region of Peel is serious and requires the commitment of every parish to continue to implement our rigorous WorshipSafe procedures. Thank you for your patience and co-operation as we worked collectively with local officials and faith communities over the past 24 hours.
