News about Father Jim Zettel: Father Jim Zettel is stationed/living at the Vatican’s Embassy in Ottawa and is the “English Secretary” to the Papal Nuncio.
The “English Secretary” at the Canadian Papal Nuncio (Apostolic Nunciature) is responsible for several important tasks, serving as a crucial link between the Nuncio (the Pope’s diplomatic representative) and the English-speaking community within the country. The role involves a blend of diplomatic, administrative, and communicative duties.
Are you, or someone you know, interested in becoming a Catholic?
The Holy Spirit is alive and moving in our midst. Often people will share that their hearts are longing for ‘something more’. Usually it just takes a simple invitation extended with sincerity to help them take that next step to inquire. If you, or someone you know is interested in learning more about the Catholic faith and maybe becoming a Catholic, we now invite you to contact the parish office. Please prayerfully consider those in your circles of family, friends and work colleagues who might be waiting for this invitation. Intake closes on Monday, September 9, 2024 (for the fall program) From October 2024 we will journey through the RCIA program, sharing in a casual way what the Catholic church teaches, supporting those discerning the decision to become a Catholic, and fostering opportunities to experience God’s love. 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:
“Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.” Luke 12: 6-7
Reflection on Today’s Gospel:
Mark 6: 1-6
- Is there a familiar person in your life, that you are surprised how ‘outside’ people show them great honor & appreciation? If so what is it about them that people seek or recognize in their character?
- Do you think Jesus might be astonished at your lack of faith? Could it affect what he wills to do for you?
- How can one ‘increase their faith’?
- Give a witness to Jesus’ power that you have experienced or heard about
