On the weekend of April 9/10, Catholics around the world will celebrate Palm Sunday and we will enter into Holy Week, the most profound period in the Christian calendar. This is a time for us to remember the sacrifice Christ made for us and to encounter our loving God in our daily lives.

This Holy Week will be even more powerful for Catholics in Ontario. For the past two years, to maintain the common good, Holy Week services saw gathering restrictions so we could slow the spread of COVID-19. During Holy Week 2022, we will be able to gather together in a way that has not been possible in recent years. However, we note that many people are concerned about the number of COVID cases in our province, so we ask everyone to treat others with kindness in church and in society at large.

Many parishes will use different schedules on Good Friday (April 15) and Easter Sunday (April 17), so it would be wise to confirm service times with your church in advance. You can search for your parish’s website or phone number clicking here
