National Day of Observance

March 11, 2021

On this Day of National Observance for the victims of COVID-19, the worshipping community of St Paul’s Cathedral joins with Canadians everywhere as we remember loved ones lost to the pandemic and those who mourn their passing.
 
We cherish the memories of those who died too young, those who died alone, and those who died in the line of duty, helping others.
 
We pray that those who have suffered loss may find strength knowing that nothing can separate us from the love of God in Christ. We pray that those who survived the illness may be comforted and fully recover their health and mental well-being. We pray that all Canadians may be strengthened in our determination to work collaboratively to end the ravages of the pandemic, trusting in God's mercy.
