This and prior weeks' announcements are posted on this webpage:  https://www.stechurch.com/announcements

1. Diocese of Toronto Postponing Moving to Green Stage to June 5
   • In light of the current rate of infections in the Diocese of Toronto, the Diocese has decided that the previously announced move to Green Stage will not take place on April 27, but instead will now take place on the Feast of Pentecost, Sunday, June 5.
   • St. Elizabeth's will follow the Diocese and postpone moving to Green Stage as well. On that date, all remaining Covid-related restrictions for gathering and worship will be lifted in the Diocese of Toronto (with the exception of the vaccine mandate for clergy, staff and volunteers). In the meantime, the Diocese of Toronto's default position continues to be our Spring Guidelines.
