  • Restrictions Update on February 15, 2022

    On February 15, 2022, the Province of Manitoba by Public Health Order relaxed capacity restrictions for faith-based gatherings such that we can have 50% capacity of the church or 500 people, whichever is lower.

    This means that we can have 150 people in the church for our services.

    Funerals, Baptisms, and Weddings are now expanded to 50 people.

    And we continue with MANDATORY MASKING and SOCIAL DISTANCING within the Church.

    You do not have to pre-register for services any longer. There will be a contact sheet at the entrance of the church as we have had in the past.
