Ash Wednesday A day of fast & abstinence

Please note 9: 15 morning Mass. NO EVENING MASS here.

Intensify your prayer! Everyone is encouraged to intensify your prayer for World Peace. We must examine our own lives, repent and pray for God’s mercy which is so greatly needed. Let us live in hope and confidence, rejecting fear yet doing all we can to pray and offer penance in reparation of our own, and world sin. Attending weekday Mass / Adoration & taking time for daily prayer, devotions and reflecting on scripture are all ways we can move forward in our prayer life.

Needed: twin beds frame and mattress

Our St. Vincent de Paul has had a request for assistance of twin beds, frame & mattresses. If you have one in good condition to donate, please call the parish office

Cursillo Weekend: Women’s Weekend is Thursday May 30 – June 2, 2024

We all know God, but how many of us truly know God on a personal and intimate level? A three day Cursillo weekend, which is a short review of Christianity, is designed to help you on that journey. Beginning on Thursday night and ending Sunday afternoon, through a series of talks by lay people and clergy, Celebration of Mass and Reconciliation, you will get to take a closer look at yourself, God, and others.

So, if you are an adult, 19 years of age or older, and are open to a closer relationship with our God and Saviour, consider Cursillo. For more information, please contact Tony or Colleen at 519-496-8114
