COVID-19 update

Having considered recommendations from the Health Cabinet and Regathering Committee, Saint Philip’s Vestry has voted for a policy which relaxes COVID-19 protocols in stages. Variants and local conditions will continue to be monitored so adjustments can be made as circumstances require.

On Sunday, April 3, Saint Philip’s will implement new COVID-19 protocols:

  • At the 7:45am and 11:15am services, masks will be optional

  • Masks will continue to be required at the 9:00am service

  • Coffee hour will be held in the outside courtyard with sweet treats

For all Sunday services:

  • there will be no need to sign-in

  • there will be no limit on the number of worshipers

  • the transepts will serve as areas that allow for greater social distancing than in the nave

  • the collection plate will be passed

  • Communion protocols will remain the same (wine by intinction only)

In the Bell & Tower this Friday, March 25, Fr Robert will provide a review of the Vestry’s decision and plans for the summer.
