Diocese of Saint John in GNB 'Orange' Level Protocols

We have just been advised by the Province of New Brunswick that the entire province is moving to the orange level. In this level, a maximum of 50 persons can gather at Mass, and 25 persons for other physically distanced gatherings. Please note that masks/face coverings are mandatory for all activities. Be assured that the dispensation from the Holy Obligation to attend Mass on Sunday is still in effect.

This Sunday we celebrate the Solemnity of the Baptism of the Lord. Just as the God the Father confirms Jesus in His identity as the beloved Son of God, He affirms us in our identity and dignity as His own sons and daughters called to holiness and mission. As faithful, you continue to demonstrate great understanding and charity in this time of disruption. Your ability to maintain and foster the faith is a true testimony and witness to Christ’s presence among us. As always, we entrust to Him all those who are ill and those on the front lines caring for them.
