RESCHEDULED FIRST COMMUNION DATES
The First Communion celebrations have been rescheduled as follows:
Our Lady of Victory School & CCC - Saturday, September 11, 2021 @ 2 pm
St. Peter School - Saturday, September 18, 2021 @ 11 am
St. Peter School & Queen of Heaven School - Saturday, September 18, 2021 @ 1 pm
Parents are asked to contact the Parish Office at gr2sacraments@holyrosaryparish or 905-878-6535 to confirm their child's attendance.
The same protocols will be in place as previous celebrations. Due to the limitations of our church and Diocesan Covid-19 protocols, we are only able to welcome the Parents or Guardians and the First Communicant at each celebration. Unfortunately, due to the varying size of families, we cannot accommodate other siblings or guests at the celebrations and maintain social distancing. This is a requirement of the Provincial Guidelines and the Diocese of Hamilton.
Thank you for your continued understanding and patience.

JUNE UPDATE
Dear Grade Two Parents and Guardians,
As of last week, it has been recommended by the Diocese of Hamilton that any First Communion celebrations that were not celebrated this Spring due to the recent Provincial Lockdown, be rescheduled in the Fall.
In August you will receive an email from the Parish letting you know the specific date and time of your child's school First Communion Celebration. In addition to this information, the Parish note will outline what the safety practices and protocols will be for the day of your child's First Communion.
A reminder to check the Parish website under Sacraments for First Communion resources and the link and password for the Growing in Faith Grade Two religion program. Also found on the Parish website will be current information regarding the reopening of our Parish and the celebration of regular Masses in the upcoming months.
You are invited to call the Parish office if you have any questions or concerns, and the staff will be happy to answer your questions and support your family in any way we are able to. As always, the safety of our families, our Parish staff and our volunteers is our primary consideration.
We continue to thank you for your patience, your support and we will continue to pray for the safety of our families, our Holy Rosary community and for Canada.
With appreciation,
Holy Rosary Parish
