Covid–19 Vaccinations for Seniors and Vulnerable Persons

Are you, or is someone you know, having trouble accessing Covid–19 vaccination services? The parish Health and Wellness Committee can help you navigate the system. So many clinic options can be confusing, and bookings are difficult if you can’t access a computer. Did you know that home vaccinations are available for the home–bound? Give us a call (905) 828–2095, ext. 68 or email jamesferry.stpeters@gmail.com and we’ll get back to you.

Get vaccinated, then pay it forward

The Primate’s World Relief and Development Fund has launched a new Vaccine Equity Fund to contribute to the worldwide vaccination effort from COVID-19. Money donated to this fund will be used to support our partners as they prepare for vaccine rollout in the coming months.
