Dear St. Patrick’s Parishioners:

I would like to thank all parishioners for their assistance in helping us to implement health protocols during our Return to Church over the past several months. It has been so wonderful to be able to celebrate the sacraments together once again.

Over the past 24 hours, we learned that a parishioner has tested positive for COVID-19. The individual was last present at the 9:30 a.m. Mass on Sunday, March 7, 2021. The parishioner was wearing a mask and appropriately distanced throughout their time at church. The individual is currently feeling well and in a period of self-isolation at home.

Both the Archdiocese of Toronto and York Region Public Health are aware of the positive test.

It has been determined that this case presents a very low risk of transmission. At this time, we ask that all parishioners continue to self-monitor for symptoms.

As we have said in the past, if you are not feeling well or are experiencing COVID-19 symptoms, please do not come to church, connect with your family doctor or consider getting tested for COVID-19.

A self-assessment tool can be found by visiting: https://covid-19.ontario.ca/self-assessment/. Questions can also be directed to York Region Public Health at 1-800-361-5653.

We will share any relevant updates as necessary.

Thank you for your continued co-operation as we pray for all those who are sick and those who are caring for them.
