Consider leaving a gift to the parish through your Will. A gift (sometimes referred to as a bequest) to the parish is a profound way to return to the Lord a share of the blessings you received in your lifetime. Bequests are quite simple to include in your Will, and have become increasingly common for people to do. Your financial advisor can assist you with this. A gift like this can help the parish maintain and upkeep our churches for generations to come – thank you for considering this type of gift to the parish.
Are you, or someone you know, interested in becoming a Catholic?
RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) is the normal way in which adults become full, active, participating members of the Catholic Church.
If you are considering becoming Catholic, or know of someone who is interested in becoming a Catholic, please pick up from the narthex the brochure “Consider Becoming a Catholic,” fill out the form on the back and drop it into the parish office, or in the collection basket. The office will then organize an appointment for the inquirer to see Fr. Romelito. Appointments are conducted in a casual format and should be completed by early September as we plan to commence the next RCIA program in October. We will meet weekly from October to early May next year.
Everyone’s faith journey is uniquely special, and God’s love is powerful and exciting, bringing new life to whomever is open to receive it. Parish Office: 519-364-1973, Ext. 0 or info@holyfamily.ca
Scripture Quote to Ponder and Put in Action:
“Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life.” – Proverbs 13:12
Reflection on Today’s Gospel: John 6: 60-69
- 1. Does a difficult teaching or task tend to leave you walking away or digging into the challenge?
- 2. What percentage of your time is spent serving the needs of the flesh versus the needs of the spirit?
- 3. What is one additional small way you could support your spiritual well being?
