January 7, 2021 - The Archdiocese of Montreal has advised all Montreal parishes, missions, and religious communities to close all places of worship, suspending gatherings for the celebration of Mass effective 12 a.m., Saturday, January 9, 2021. This follows Wednesday's announcement by the Quebec government to return to stricter province-wide conditions of confinement, beginning January 9 through to February 8, 2021.
Funerals will be permitted, but limited to a maximum of 25 people in attendance.
Online Masses are permitted exclusively. The least number practicable of liturgical participants and technical personnel may be present during the video recording/livestreaming.
