OFFICE OF THE BISHOP
Following the government’s recent decision to return the Restigouche region (Campbellton to Belledune) to the “Orange” phase of the recovery plan, the Diocese of Bathurst wishes to inform you that, until further notice, we are unable to open the churches in that area for public Mass celebrations.
We will inform you as quickly as possible of any changes, permitting us to reopen our churches.
Let us remain united in prayer.
Dear parishionners of Holy Family Church,
Please be advised that there will be no Mass at the Holy Family Church this weekend. The first Mass will be celebrated next weekend. This short delay will permit the local team to properly prepare the church according to all health and safety guidelines.
Thank you for your understanding.
Your pastor,
very Reverend Keith Goldrup, v.e.
