MARK YOUR CALENDARS!!!

Thank you for all your responses!  We had enough interest to go ahead and plan for the Sacraments of Reconciliation and First Holy Communion at Holy Cross Parish, following the Ottawa Public Health guidelines around Covid-19.  

The Sacrament of Reconciliation is planned to occur on Saturday, October 24th, 2020 at 3:45 pm (just prior to the 5 pm Mass) and a separate Mass for the children to receive their Sacrament of First Holy Communion with their families is set for Sunday, November 1, 2020 at 1 pm (with a limit of 8 people/family).

For all those parents and families that are not ready to receive the Sacraments at this time, alternate plans will have to be made following the end of the Covid-19 pandemic.  If you have questions or concerns about this, please feel free to call the church at:  613 731-7834 to discuss further.  

Another note will follow shortly (to those that will be going forward with the Sacraments) with a short review video of our sessions and some preparation material and information for your child.  

For contact tracing purposes, you will need to register your child and family members for both events.  This will be available shortly on the church website https://holycrossparish.com/ (i.e. October 24th at 5 pm and November 1st at 1 pm).

Father Lukose has specially prepared and directed this Sunday's homily (i.e. October 4th) towards the children preparing for these beautiful Sacraments--we urge you to watch it with them, if you haven't already (see below).

Keeping you all in our prayers!
 
Yours in Christ,

The CJUATT Team
