Feast of the Annunciation - 25 March 2020

Today we celebrate the Feast of the Annunciation to the Blessed Virgin Mary, with a small solemn mass, and as much music as we can manage with the limited resources available to us! (We think we did pretty well.)

You can watch the video HERE.

If you want to join us, the leaflet is available HERE.

Our small forces include Mother Johanna celebrating, Father David preaching, Andrew Adair on the Organ, Rob Castle and Simon Walker singing, Nora Lowe and Christian Cameron serving, while Elisabeth Beattie works the camera. Nora and Elisabeth also read. (We are being careful to maintain social distancing, which is why people are standing so far apart.)

At the Offertory, we are bringing up the donations we received during the week. (A big thank you to the kind people who sent in cheques this week!) We are still in need of your support, even if we cannot open our physical doors, and anything you can spare us is gratefully received. If you are not on a Pre-Authorized Giving plan, would you consider signing up? Or giving through Canada Helps? 

(On 13 March 2020, the Diocese of Toronto suspended all public worship services as part of the effort to contain the spread of the COVID-19 virus. Here at SMM, in this difficult time, we are trying to offer ways of participating in the daily life of our parish, even if we cannot be present physically.)
