A message from Father Scott

Dear Families,

Blessings from Father Scott.

  

Sacramental Preparation:

The Sacraments of First Communion and Confirmation that had been scheduled for April and May have been postponed as we await further information from Public Health regarding full access to our Church.  

Sunday Offerings:

As you know, with Church Masses being cancelled, St. Augustine Parish has been losing Sunday collections and the situation may potentially go into all of April.  Easter Masses have also been cancelled and this special celebration generates much needed funds for our Church. We realize that the Covid 19 outbreak has placed a financial burden on many families.  If you are still able to help, parishioners are invited to make an offering and leave it in the parish mailbox which Father Scott checks regularly. If you prefer, donations may also be mailed to the Church at:

1060 Baseline Rd.

Ottawa, ON 

K2C 0A6

Holy Week:

Private Easter Mass will be held at St. Augustine Parish.  Father Scott is trying to get set up for a “live stream” video link for parishioners.  More information will be made available to our school community as we hear from Father Scott on this initiative.  

There are many other television sites available should you wish to view Mass during this time.  Here is a list provided by Father Scott:

• channel 25 vision TV
• Salt and light (free) chan. 240

Please keep in mind that the Parish website will continue to be updated by 

Father Scott at:  https://www.staugustineparish.ca/

The Mass times for Holy Week are as follows:

Palm Sunday - April 5 at 9:00 am (blessed palms will be available at the Church entrance, south)
