I want to give thanks to the Knights of Columbus and their helpers for the recent Yard Sale. They represent some of the great volunteers that I have already recognized at St. Mary’s who offer great service. I appreciate the work of our ushers, our lectors, those who help with the flowers, the altar, and the garden outside. The Catholic Women’s league and St Vincent de Paul are doing great work reaching out to the Lindsay community representing Christ. Each and every one of our volunteers I am grateful to you. Thank you to all.

Please know I am making efforts to abide by diocesan policies following the province’s current Covid restrictions. We are tracking all staff, volunteers, and regular vendors vaccine status. For some vendors and others this means working from a distance, for others it means weekly Covid tests. I continue to emphasize that all other protocols should be followed. Pastorally, whether there are concerns about Covid protocols, heresy, or some other issue, brought to my attention, I seek to approach the individual personally to address it with them in private. I know many of you have passionate opinions about these issues. I appreciate your prayers for wisdom.
