Fall Workshops for Liturgical Ministry Have you considered sharing your talent by assisting with Liturgical Ministry? Ministers of the Word, Eucharistic Ministry, Children’s Liturgy helpers, Extra ordinary ministry to the sick & shut-in are all opportunities to take an active role in our community life and serve the needs of others.
Learn More by contacting Anne at the parish office. Registration costs are covered by the parish. The workshops can also serve as a refresher for those already mandated. The Diocesan Workshops are listed on the Diocesan Website under Upcoming Events/Workshops.
Office Clean Out To maximize the space we have, we have been doing an office clean out. There are books, movies and other items we would like to offer parishioners for their use and sharing. Take a moment this weekend to look at the Office Clean Out Table. A free will donation is gratefully appreciated.
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:
“There is a right time for everything.” – Ecclesiastes 3:1
Reflection on Today’s Gospel: Mark 7: 1-8, 14-15, 21-23
- What stands out to you from this passage? Why?
- What might be a human tradition that you are holding higher in importance than the breaking of a commandment by God?
- After a time of reflection (10 minutes) what lingers hidden in your heart / mind that needs to come to the light to be realized, forgiven, and dispelled by grace and prayer?
