Highlights:
- Please take note to the Daily Mass Schedule below, including a funeral Mass for Rita Dosman
- Consider inviting a friend or neighbour to “The Chosen” Paramount Showing, September 26th
- The parish has sent out a letter this week, to the One Heart One Soul donors to update them on the planned use of those funds, for maintenance and upkeep projects since we are unable to go ahead with the proposed addition. The purpose of the letter is to inform the donors and seek their support in the use of the said funds. Please contact the parish office, if you do not receive that letter in the next few days, or if you have questions or concerns.
Adoration Chapel
Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament
Our Adoration Chapel operates from Monday at 9 am until Thursday at 8 pm, with closure over one night period. We encourage you to consider spending an hour in prayer before the Blessed Sacrament weekly. If you feel you are unable to commit to a specific hour, consider becoming a sub, who fills in on occasion when it works in your schedule. Contact Don Waechter for more information at 5193-364-1185.
Adoration Prayer Cards Available from the parish office for $2. Consider a spiritual gift. We have cards ‘For someone special’ Wording inside: “You and your intentions were lifted up to the Sacred Heart of Jesus in the Most Blessed Sacrament during my Holy Hour of prayer” A great way to extend your care and God’s love & blessings!
Card Party Tuesdays Join with others for a friendly game of euchre or solo on Tuesdays at 1:3- pm in the Holy Family Lenhard Room. All are welcome, bring a friend. Admittance: $2.
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
Please keep in your prayers the soul of Rita Dosman (mother of Rose (Gary) Fedy and for the soul of Leona Strybosch, sister of Annie Aarts
Scripture Quote to Ponder and Put in Action:
““Be joyful always” – 1 Thessalonians 5:16
Reflection on Today’s Gospel: Mark 9: 30-37 Discussion Questions:
- What might have instigated the disciples to begin talking about who is the greatest among them?
- How so you suppose the disciples felt, knowing that Jesus knew what they were speaking of.
- What is one thing you can do this week, to serve others, rather than being served?
