St. Dunstan's Basilica Parish

After many delays, the lift in the church is available for use. One of the greeters will be happy to assist
anyone who needs to use it. Our thanks to the Property and Finance Committee for their work on this.

Morning prayer will be prayed prior to Mass Monday and Friday mornings at 8:40.

Weekday masses will be celebrated in the main church for the warm weather months. Confessions will be heard downstairs.

With the lifting of restrictions, the mandate to maintain 6 feet distance be-
tween households or “bubbles” has been removed. The encouragement is offered that we spread out throughout the space. Hand-sanitizer remains available. If unwell, please stay home. Masks are no longer required, but remain recommended by Public Health.

Sincere thanks for your generous ongoing support. The fuel collection is taken up at the end of each weekend Mass. Envelopes available monthly.

It’s not too late to participate! Visit: https://dioceseofcharlottetown.com/synod-of-bishops-for-a-synodal-church/ for more information on participating. Reports from parishes and groups can be submitted until May 31, 2022.

For the past two years, a group of parishioners has provided us an essential service: our Greeters. We have thanked them from time to time, and want to do that again. Over this period of time, there have been more than 30 of them - at one point, 7 served at each Mass. Not only did they greet us and help us find a seat, they were involved in compiling the registration lists and sanitizing the seats after each gathering. Several even took turns taking the cleaning cloths home after each Mass, and washing them. Their role has changed, but we are happy many have stayed on as a hospitable presence in our midst. Heartfelt thanks to all of them - past and present - from all of us!

From time to time, we receive requests from parishioners who would like to begin to use envelopes. There are sets available at the back of the church. Simply take one of the packets, and when you use the first few, put your name and address on the front. This gives us the info we need for issuing receipts. Alternatively, you may contact the Parish Office, and arrange to pick them up there. Many thanks!

Automatic Debit and E-transfer are options for those who would like to contribute using those
means. Please contact the Parish Office for information

Men and women are needed for this ministry. If you are able to help out, please contact the Parish Office.

We have a few left in the parish office for a suggested donation of $15

If you are registered for Mass, your envelopes are available with the greeters as you enter or
leave the church. For those who have not been using envelopes and would like to begin to do so, extra sets are available at the back. When you begin to use them in the new year, be sure to put your name and address on them
the first few times, so we have a record for receipt purposes. You may also contact the Parish Office to pick up
your envelopes. Many thanks to all!!

2022 Workbooks are in. Please pick up your copy in the vestry. This is a great resource.

Please refrain from strong scents and perfumes at Mass. There are a number of people who have allergies, and are sensitive to them. Many thanks!

Please contact Jodi or Brady Grant ( bradyandjodi@gmail.com or (902-218-8282). You may request to have a candle burn in the Adoration Chapel. ($7 Mon –Sun). Please contact the Parish Office. This week the candles in the Chapel burn for: Souls in Purgatory(1).
