We have great NEWS TO SHARE! Masses will be starting at Mary Mother of God Parish on June 16th. Bishop Douglas Crosby issued a directive to all parishes to allow masses to resume as an extension of the Provincial Government’s Stage 2 reopening of churches across the Province.

The Premier of Ontario recently announced that all churches in the Province of Ontario are permitted to open for prayer and worship, effective June 12, 2020. In order to ensure that our churches are prepared to open for personal prayer and for Mass, according to the requirements of the government and health authorities, churches in the Diocese of Hamilton, who are prepared, will be opened on June 16th for weekday Mass and for prayer, and beginning on Saturday, June 20th for the celebration of Sunday Mass.
