Before You Get in Touch

A short, clear message is the quickest way to get a helpful reply. When you write to the parish office, include your full name, the best way to reach you, and a brief note on what your question concerns. If your enquiry relates to a particular date, such as a baptism, wedding or memorial Mass, mention the dates you have in mind so the office can check what is possible.

Common reasons parishioners write

• Sacraments: preparing for baptism, first communion, confirmation or marriage usually involves preparation sessions and paperwork, so it helps to reach out well in advance. The sacraments page outlines what each one involves.
• Mass intentions and schedule questions: before writing, it is worth checking the current Mass times, as holiday and seasonal changes are often posted there or in the bulletin.
• Volunteering: if you would like to help as a reader, server, greeter or with outreach, say which area interests you. You can read about current groups on the ministries page.
• Registration: new families moving to Norval or elsewhere in Halton Hills often ask how to join the parish community. A quick note introducing yourself is a good first step.

Urgent pastoral needs

Email is not always checked outside regular office hours. If someone is seriously ill or near death and a priest is needed, telephone rather than relying on email, and contact the parish or the nearest Catholic parish directly. In any medical emergency, call 911 first.

Bulletin submissions

Notices for the weekly bulletin, such as ministry announcements or community events, should be sent early in the week so there is time to include them. Keep wording brief and include a contact name for readers who want more information.

Every message is read with care, and the parish office will reply as soon as it reasonably can.
