ChristLife Program - Discovering Christ
It’s exciting! We need your help! We’d like to run a program called DiscoveringChrist at our Parish in the winter of 2020. Your parish council has been studyingbest practices for reaching out to others and Discovering Christ checks all theboxes. God calls us to open doors and provide places of encounter. God wantsus to invite others into a life-changing deepened relationship with Jesus.
That’s where you come in. Discovering Christ is a seven-week experience towhich anyone and everyone is welcome, even your far-away family members, butwe can’t do it without your help. There are a variety of roles from small groupfacilitator to greeter to kitchen crew to intercessory prayer.
To learn more, please join us for an Information Night, this Tuesday, April 9 at7:00 pm. If you are interested, but can’t attend please submit your name to Fr.Victor and a team member will contact you.
Summer Mass Schedule
It was observed that during the months of July and August, the Parish experiencesa decrease in Sunday Mass attendance and in the availability of volunteers to assistat Mass as parishioners take summer holidays. The Mass schedule from CanadaDay to Labour Day will change to the following:
• the daily Wednesday Mass at 7:00 pm will be moved to 12:15 pm;• the Sunday 9:00 am and 11:00 am Masses will be combined into one Mass
celebrated at 10:00 am.
It is important to note that we are trying this change on a trial basis for thissummer only. In September, the Pastoral Council will review feedback and a finaldecision regarding a Summer Mass schedule will be made.

“You will find out that Charity is a heavy burden tocarry, heavier than the kettle of soup and the fullbasket. But you will keep your gentleness and yoursmile. It is not enough to give soup and bread. Thisthe rich can do. You are the servant of the poor,always smiling and good-humoured. They are yourmasters, and the uglier and the dirtier they will be, themore unjust and insulting, the more love you mustgive them. It is only for your love alone that the poorwill forgive you the bread you give to them.”
~ St. Vincent de Paul
