Dear Priests, Staff and Parishioners,
Bishop Bittman is using the recently published guidelines of the provincial health authorities to re-open our province, to provide pastors with a safe plan to re-open our churches for Mass and prayer. As there are many things to consider to keep everyone as safe as possible, it will take time to establish this plan. We ask for your patience during the next few weeks and offer the confidence that you will have the option to be back at Mass soon. Your parish bulletin and the diocesan website www.nelsondiocese.org will provide updates as soon as they are ready. In the meantime, live streamed Sunday Mass will continue. Thank you all for your support and prayers as we, too, pray for you during this pandemic.
Gregory Bittman
Bishop of Nelson
