Please approach the minister of Holy Communion, stop a safe distance away, lower or remove your mask, extend your hands one on top of the other to make a safe place to receive the consecrated host and then consume the host immediately. You may then replace or readjust your mask. Please do not walk away with the host. We remind you that the Blessed Sacrament, real presence of our Lord Jesus Christ, is a precious gift that is to be received with reverence. Thank you for your cooperation.

Please note that as of March 21st you are no longer required to wear a mask at the cathedral. Social distancing measures are also no longer in effect. That said, let us be respectful of those who are more prudent at this time.

We have plenty of room for you. Come back to the cathedral! 
Our weekend masses have averaged around 200 people on Sunday mornings. We continue to follow the COVID rules set by the Public Health Officer. 
Thank you for your cooperation and a thank you to the volunteers who help you and look after your wellbeing.

As you may suspect, our revenue from donations has significantly declined due to the Covid-19 restrictions which limited our gathering size as well as the number of masses we can celebrate each week.
We need you so we may continue to look after the cathedral! Your donations, either by cheque, cash, credit card or online via the Canada Helps, link found at the top of this page, are necessary and truly appreciated. Continue to support the Cathedral community with your prayers and a financial contribution, if you are able to do so. 
Thank you to everyone who is helping us meet the numerous financial demands associated with the cathedral. Every donation helps and we are very grateful!
