April 27 Diocese of Toronto Moving to Green Stage
Diocese of Toronto will move to Green Stage – the removal of all COVID-19 restrictions, except the vaccine policy for staff and volunteers – as of April 27.
Parish to decide and inform Bishop if not removing all restrictions yet
Current Spring Guidelines will remain in place until April 27
Masks will continue to be mandatory for worship until then.
During worship one person at a time may unmask for the purposes of liturgical speaking, e.g., preaching, reading or spoken intercessions. Masks may be removed for eating and drinking using “restaurant rules”. Parish employees, staff and volunteers may now remove their masks indoors when working at a distance from others
Helping Ukrainians displaced by the Russian invasion of Ukraine
On February 24, 2022 Russia launched a large-scale invasion of Ukraine. PWRDF is responding by granting an initial $20,000 to the ACT Alliance appeal supporting those displaced by the invasion. Let's help increase the amount.

Lenten Studies (Cantonese) stechurch.com/lent
The Cantonese Ministry will be providing selected articles in Cantonese for your devotional studies during the Lent season. There will be one article per week for a total of seven weeks. These articles are taken from “Spirituality through the Liturgical Seasons” of the Working Group for Discipleship Training of the Steering Committee of the Hong Kong Sheng Kung Hui Church Policy Paper. We would like to thank the Chairman, The Very Rev. Samson Fan for his kind permission to allow St. Elizabeth’s Church to use such articles. These articles will be sent through our “Love and Pandemic” network. As well, they will be uploaded to the St. E website. We encourage all, during this Lent season, to regularly meditate, pray and reflect on the questions set out at the end of these devotional articles.
The devotional articles are,
#1 Feb. 27: Ashes and Temptation
#2 Mar 6: Fasting
#3 Mar 13 Prayer
#4 Mar 20 Almsgiving
#5 Mar 27 Self Control
#6 Apr 3 Listening to the Holy Word
#7 Apr 10 Follow the True Light.
