Chronique de Mgr Guy

Mise à jour à titre d’information – le 13 mai 2020
Nombre de gens ont demandé quand les églises rouvriront et dans quelles circonstances. Bien que les gouvernements de l’Ontario et du Québec n’aient pas encore fourni d’informations sur la durée des restrictions des rassemblements publics, notre diocèse a déjà entamé un processus de consultation et d’établissement d’un protocole pour une réouverture éventuelle et progressive de nos églises et la restauration de la célébration publique de la messe et des sacrements lorsque cela sera à nouveau autorisé. L’évêque, de concert avec les évêques de l’Ontario et du Québec, émettra des directives une fois que celles-ci auront été vérifiées par les autorités sanitaires.
