Please take a moment to read the most recent update in protocols and memo from the Bishop of Victoria: General Directives for April 6, 2022
Updates: memo on easing of restrictions
The key changes are summarized here:
· Capacity limits on attendance at worship services or other gatherings in church buildings are no longer required. It is highly recommended that parishes continue to encourage physical distancing.
· The use of face coverings is now optional in church buildings. However, the continued use of face coverings is highly recommended as a prudent and wise choice to ensure the safety of all. This is especially true during higher-risk situations such as while singing or while distributing Communion.
