Now that our province has entered its re-start phases, we are pleased that we are able to offer in-person worship at St Mary's, and now that we have enterd Phase 3, it's even easier. We no longer require pre-registration for Sunday services, we still encourage you to use our PLAN YOUR VISIT feature each week, just to be sure we don't get too crowded.

Here's what you'll experience when PLANNING YOUR VISIT to St Mary's, while restrictions are still in place:

First: Click on a PLAN YOUR VISIT button: you'll find one in the main menu of any page, or on event posts for which you need to pre-register:

You're done! The confirmation page will give some instructions on how to cancel your reservation if it turns out you cannot attend after all. This is very helpful as it will release your space for someone else to use. You'll also receive an email from admin@stmarysoakbay.ca with this information—if you don't see it in your inbox, check your spam or junk folder, and try adding 'admin@stmarysoakbay.ca' to your list of contacts.
