Are you interested in becoming a Catholic? If you or someone you know is interested in learning more about the Catholic Faith, we invite you to contact the parish office.  This fall we will have a program (RCIA, Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) for the purpose of sharing what the Catholic Church teaches and to support those discerning this decision.  The program has an initial inquiry period and then progresses through many important topics of faith, shared, discussed and experienced in meaningful ways.  Everyone’s faith journey is unique and special, and God’s love is powerful and exciting, bringing new life to whomever is open to receive it.  More info:  519-364-1973 Adoration Chapel News Our Adoration Chapel is open Mondays at 9 am until Thursday at 8 pm.  Come spend quiet time in prayer before the Blessed Sacrament.  If you would like to visit during night hours – contact Don Waechter at  364-1185.  Day time drop in visits welcome. Thank you Please keep in your prayers those who are terminally ill, facing surgery or caring for loved ones going through a hard time, physically, mentally or spiritually! This Sunday’s Gospel Matthew 13: 44-52 Discussion Questions:
  1. The Kingdom of Heaven is like….  three more parables describing heaven this week. Is Jesus giving us a vision of heaven or a vision of what it takes to obtain a place in heaven?
  2. How does or should it affect everyday life?
  3. How can we work towards experiencing more ‘heaven on earth’ now?
