Registration process for attending mass
July 6th, 2020
Dear Parishioners,
After four long months of lock-down we finally were able to assemble and worship together this past weekend. It was heartwarming and even emotional to see familiar faces smile thru the twinkle of their eyes (behind the mask) while expressing their joy of being back in the Church. We thank all the volunteers who helped to reopen in an orderly manner by following the required protocols for the well being of everyone.
We, the Fabrique take this opportunity to thank you for your support and generosity you have bestowed through this period, it has enabled us to sustain our financial obligations. We count on your continued support as we hope and pray to slowly reopen to a covid free environment in the near future.
If you feel ready to return , please know that registration is necessary. To register please call the office at 450-676-7577 every Tuesday, from 10:30 AM to 1:00 PM and in the evening from 7:00 to 8:00 PM
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation, may Jesus our Good Shepherd continue to bless you and your family with good health and a joyful spirit of hope and love.
Yours in Christ,
Good Shepherd Fabrique Members
