Information from Cardinal Collins - Preparation for the sacred time of Holy Week, the Triduum and Easter 

Sacrament of ReconciliationThe only ordinary way of attaining forgiveness for sins is participating in individual and integral confession and absolution. Nevertheless, if a person is unable to make an appointment with a priest for the Sacrament during the current pandemic, it will suffice for the moment to pray the Act of Contrition as best as one can intending it truthfully, and to commit to participating in the Sacrament of Reconciliation as soon as possible when conditions allow. There will be no permission granted for General Absolution. 

Resources - Devotions and scripture readings – to assist the faithful during these sacred days, we will make available, a variety of resources at: www.archtoronto.org/covid19 - these will include the following: 

  • the Holy Rosary;
  • the Stations of the Cross;
  • the Act of Contrition;
  • the scripture readings for the various liturgies;
  • the Office of Readings for the various days in Holy Week, the Triduum and on Easter Sunday. 

Let us be united in prayer. God Bless you all!
