New Compulsory Government Vaccination Record Policy

“Effective October 22, 2021, the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador has mandated that you must be fully vaccinated, or have an approved medical exemption in order to attend a faith-based gathering.  All individuals over the age of 12 must present official proof of vaccination and identification before being permitted entrance into this building.”

Official Proof of Vaccination Can Be:

1.   Electronic QR code provided by the Government of NL, saved on a mobile device (Government Preferred)

2.   Physical copy of the QR code as provided by the Government of NL (Government Preferred)

3.   Physical copy of a COVID-19 vaccination record issued by Government of NL

4.   A physical or electronic copy of an official vaccination record issued outside NL

Proof of Identity must also be provided in the form of an official document issued by a government, public body, or educational institution which includes the individual’s name and date of birth and, for individuals 19 years of age or older, also includes a photograph.  If the individual is known by the person obtaining proof of vaccination, proof of identity is NOT required.

If you do not have the technology or skills to access your QR code online by yourself, perhaps you could try one of the following:

1. Ask a family member or friend to help you either download it to your smart phone, or to print it for you
2. Take your MCP card to your nearest public library, and they will download it for you, and will either print it or place it on your smart phone.  Hours of operation for the CBS Library in Manuels is as follows:

• Tuesday 12:00pm-4:00pm
• Wednesday 3:00pm-7:00pm
• Thursday 12:00pm-400:pm
• Friday 12:00pm-4:00pm
• Saturday 10:00am-2:00pm

Parish Hall Heater Replacement Campaign !!!

We need your help!!  Vestry has just recently approved the expenditure of $13,000 for the replacement of six large heaters and thermostats in the lower level of our Parish Hall.  This is both a safety and revenue affecting issue.  Over the past winter, for safety reasons, we were forced to turn off the electrical breakers to these units, and fortunately (or unfortunately), due to the COVID shutdown, we did not have any activities planned for this space.  But now, fortunately, things are looking somewhat brighter with respect to getting a little closer back to normal. 

We have been fortunate to have a parishioner who is an electrician, and he has been gracious enough to help us “cripple along”.  Unfortunately, the time has come that we are now forced to act.  With the colder fall and winter months quickly setting in around us, we run the risk of losing some much-needed revenue that we typically generate from this facility.  This includes a significant long-term rental contract, ongoing clinics such as blood collections, flu shots, and COVID vaccinations, to name just a few.  This facility is also used for a number of our own major internal fundraising events such as our Fall Fair, ACW Dinners and Take Outs, and other catered events.  As well, our weekly Wednesday Tea Room Luncheons could be in jeopardy, which in itself would once again be heartbreaking.

We are establishing a special “Capital Donations Account” to track any funds that we hope to collect to help pay the costs of this important project.  Vestry has received approval from the Diocese to temporarily borrow from one of our AJIF (Anglican Joint Investment Fund) accounts, which will eventually have to be repaid from donated Capital Funds.

We look forward to your continuing support with this special need and ask.   You may place an envelope marked "Heater Replacement Fund" in the offertory plate, or send along an eTransfer to donations@allsaintsparish.ca with a note indicating "Heater Replacement Fund".  Or you may simply drop by the Parish Office and use our secure drop-box, or pop into the office itself.

This is so important to the sustainability of our Parish.  THANK YOU so much!!

Meet Your Vestry

Many thanks to the 40+ Parishioners who attended our Annual General Meeting on Sunday evening (October 03).  It was great to see such a good turn-out, considering that COVID has caused us to defer it for two years.  There were six Vestry positions either elected or appointed as applicable, and the current Vestry membership which were commissioned at our 10:00am service on October 17th can be viewed here.

All Saints CBS is Live-Streaming 10:00am Services

Every Sunday morning at 10:00am, All Saints Anglican Parish CBS will be live streaming our Holy Eucharist service on FaceBook, and it will later be archived on YouTube as well.  While we are becoming familiar with this new technology, and adding a new feature each week, we may have a few bumps along the way.  Please offer us your patience and feedback in this regard.  We can be reached by emailing us at  communications@allsaintsparish.ca

Alongsiders' Monthly Prayer Schedule

Our Alongsider's Team would like to make their current monthly prayer services available to you simply by clicking here.

Alongsiders are members of our Parish who, due to circumstances of sickness, mobility, age, etc., can not physically attend a worship service at our Church.  However, they still want to be part of the worship, and where possible, to help from home.  The Alongsiders program accomplishes this.  Each month, a service for each Sunday is prayerfully put together, similar to the in-Church service, and is then delivered to each Parishioner as part of a home visit.  A vital part of our ministry is ‘praying alongside’ our brothers and sisters in Christ.  Currently we have 14 members in the Parish of All Saints.
