St. Mark's Roman Catholic Church Stouffville ON News and Updates

COVID-19 UPDATE

As of March 24, 2020 St. Mark's Church is CLOSED.

CHURCH AND OFFICE St. Mark's Church and Office are closed to the public.

WEEKDAY AND WEEKEND MASSES All weekday and weekend masses have been cancelled.

CONFESSION Please call the parish office if you would like to arrange an individual confession time with Fr. Michael. The only ordinary way of attaining forgiveness for sins is participating in individual and integral confession and absolution. Nevertheless, if a person is unable to make an appointment with a priest for the Sacrament during the current pandemic, it will suffice for the moment to pray the Act of Contrition as best as one can intending it truthfully, and to commit to participating in the Sacrament of Reconciliation as soon as possible when conditions allow. There will be no permission granted for General Absolution.

BAPTISMS The parish office will be scheduling Baptisms one at a time with only immediate family.

FUNERALS No funeral masses at this time. The Rite of Committal will take place with the immediate family at the cemetery.

MEETINGS AND EVENTS All meetings, events, classes and other church activities have been cancelled.

BOOKED MASS INTENTIONS Mass Intentions that have already been booked will continue to be offered by Fr. Michael in a private mass, combined with the intention to ask God to bring an end to the COVID-19 virus.

WEEKLY BULLETIN The weekly bulletin will be accessible via a link on the Home page of the St. Mark website.
