The Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary Parish (locally known as "St. Mary's") is a Catholic Church of the Byzantine rite. We are a religious non-profit registered charity. Services are conducted primarily in English on Saturday evenings and in both English and Ukrainian on Sunday mornings. Week-day services are generally in English unless otherwise requested by those who request special intentions.

ATTENDANCE AT CHURCH:

Attendance at church is open to everyone.

If you, or a family member, are feeling unwell, or have symptoms of cold or flu, PLEASE STAY HOME until you feel better.

Social distancing is no longer required, but recommended to the extent possible. Particpants are urged to avoid "bunching" and maintain a safe distance from others when seated in pews and receiving communion.

Masks are not required but are WELCOME especially during flu/cold season.

These simple acts of Christian love and charity towards the elderly and vulnerable in our parish family are greatly appreciated!
