MESSAGE FROM FR. PAUL
CHURCH CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE
Who would have imagined a time when we as a community and nation, facing so great a crisis as this pandemic, would find our churches closed, separating the faithful from the Eucharist, source of spiritual strength and consolation.
Following the orders of Dr. Paul Roumeliotis, Medical Officer of Health for the Eastern Ontario Health Unit concerning closure of places of worship, effective immediately (March 23) all churches in the Alexandria-Cornwall and Ottawa dioceses will be closed—even for private prayer—until further notice.
