Thank you to all who have been participating in our Children’s Liturgy Program. We appreciate the work and dedication of the leaders and helpers and they have expressed their joy in sharing the gospel with the children.

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
