WEEKLY MASS SCHEDULE

Scripture Lesson: As we begin a

period of Ordinary Time in the Church, the first lesson that we are taught is found in today’s Gospel – “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the

world!” These all familiar words that we hear at every Mass before we receive Holy Communion, are central to our faith. We gaze upon Jesus, who under the appearance of bread and wine becomes sacramentally present to us in the gift of His Body and Blood. As the Lamb of God, His life is sacrificed for each of us personally and for all humanity, so that the SIN of the world – from the beginning to the end of time – would know forgiveness and everlasting joy! Our response to this truth claims our unworthiness and our need for God to heal our soul. Receiving Christ in Holy Communion allows “Jesus to live within us”, so that “we can change the world!” Alors que nous commençons le Temps ordinaire dans l'Église, la première leçon qui nous est enseignée se trouve dans l'Évangile d'aujourd'hui - «Voici, l'Agneau de Dieu, qui enlève le péché du monde!» Ces mots sont au cœur de notre foi. Nous regardons Jésus qui, sous l'apparence du pain et du vin, nous devient sacramentellement présent dans le don de Son corps et de Son sang. Sa vie est sacrifiée pour chacun de nous personnellement et pour toute l'humanité. Recevoir le Christ dans la Sainte Communion permet à «Jésus de vivre en nous», afin que «nous puissions changer le

monde!»

Flu and Cold Season: If you think you have a cold or the flu, please do NOT attend Mass and risk exposing your fellow parishioners to your illness. Take

the time to get better first! If you are a person at higher risk for complications from the flu, and you wish to refrain from attending Mass until the flu season is over, you can watch Mass on Salt & Light TV or YouTube.

Pray for the sick in our Family of Parishes,

especially: Judy Durocher, Christina Mancina,

Lilah Lamont, Chiara Tedesco, Ken Gaspar,

Fiorae Zanchetta, Barb Coates, Teresa Durante,

Lorne Meloche, Robert Robinet, Allan Taylor,

Anne Ducharme, Ed Regan, Elsie Rousseau,

Howard Paddon, Margaret Gignac, Margaret Blondin ,

Frank Riegl, Emily Perry, Larry Delmore and Larry

Marcotte.

Pray for the deceased, remembering especially

Sally Meloche, wife of Al Meloche of St. Joseph Parish .

Eucharistic Adoration: There are

opportunities in our Family of Parishes to

spend time with Jesus in the Blessed

Sacrament. The consecrated host (Jesus

Himself) is placed in a monstrance on the

main altar of the Church where adorers (individuals,

families, parish groups and visitors) can come and spend

some quiet reflective time adoring Jesus. This is a great

experience that encourages the deepening of our love for

the Lord and of our conviction of His love for us! It is a

time to praise, worship and thank the Lord Jesus.

Adoration occurs in each of our three churches and in

several of our neighbouring parishes as well. It is

important to understand that all are welcome to come and

spend time in prayer before the Lord, but we must realize

that the Blessed Sacrament is not to be left unattended.

There must be someone in the Church from the time that

Adoration begins until its conclusion.

To ensure that there is always someone in the Church

during Adoration, those who plan to attend are asked to

sign up in advance. Adoration is divided into half-hour

time slots. Of course, you are welcome to stay longer. If

there are not enough parishioners interested in this prayer

experience, then it will have to be suspended. Please note

that the sign-up sheet is at the elevator entrance at St.

Paul and Sacred Heart Churches – and at the main

entrance of St. Joseph Church. Please be sure to sign-up

in advance or to sign your name when you arrive for a

period of prayer.

May the Lord grace us with the power of His love, so that as we adore Jesus who lives within us, our prayer of praise and thanksgiving may give us the courage to believe that we can change the world

L’Adoration est un temps pour louer, adorer et remercier le Seigneur Jésus. Il est important de comprendre que tous sont invités à venir passer du temps en prière devant le Seigneur et essentiel de reconnaître que le Saint-Sacrement ne doit pas être laissé sans surveillance. Il doit y avoir quelqu'un dans l'Église depuis le début de l'Adoration jusqu'à sa conclusion. Pour s’assurer qu'il y a toujours quelqu'un dans l'Église, ceux qui envisagent d'y assister sont priés de s'inscrire à l'avance. L'Adoration est divisée en tranches horaires d'une demi-heure. Assurez-vous de vous inscrire à l'avance ou de signer votre nom lorsque vous arrivez pour une période de prière. S’il n’y a pas assez d’intérêt, nous devrons suspendre l’Adoration. Que le Seigneur nous honore de la puissance de son amour, afin que, lorsque nous adorons Jésus qui vit en nous, notre prière de louange et d'action de grâce nous donne le courage de croire que nous pouvons changer le monde

Parish Pastoral Council: When

we were named a Family of Parishes,

the instruction came forward that a

“Transition Team”, made up of equal

membership discerned from each

Parish Pastoral Council would gather

with the Priests and Pastoral Staff to discuss, discern

and advise what would be best for the Family. In the 5

months that followed, the Transition team met regularly

and struggled to come to consensus regarding such

issues as Mass schedules and times, the preparation and

reception of sacraments, etc. The Pastor met with each

employee to review their job descriptions and re-aligned

their responsibilities according to their wishes and gifts.

It became clear that we needed to work together as a

team rather than remaining in silos. The changes have

been difficult for the Priests, the Pastoral Team and the

Staff of our three parishes. It is clear that these changes

have also affected our parishioners.

We are now preparing to move forward to establish a

Family of Parishes Pastoral Council (PPC). This is a

GREAT OPPORTUNITY to come forward to help us

build a strong community. One member from each

parish will step down from the Transition Team and one

will remain so that there is some continuity in our

gatherings. WE ARE SEEKING TWO

PARISHIONERS FROM EACH PARISH TO STEP

FORWARD, BECOME PART OF A DISCERNMENT

PROCESS AND PERHAPS JOIN THE NEWLY

FORMED PARISH PASTORAL COUNCIL.

Included in next week’s bulletin will be an insert

regarding the discernment process. In the past, some

parishioners were invited by the Pastor to be part of the

PPC and others were elected by their fellow

parishioners. The Diocese of London requires that the

PPC be formed by parishioners who have discerned

their gifts for membership on this advisory committee.

The term of office is three years and can be renewed

one time. At the end of six years, that individual must

step away for a minimum of three years. This gives

everyone in the community a chance to step forward

bringing new ideas to the Council.

The role of the Parish Pastoral Council (PPC) is to set the “spiritual direction” for the Family of Parishes. In other words, it is the PPC who sets the Pastoral Plan in place and who are responsible to ensure that the plan is followed.

Vocation Corner: “Discovering vocation does not mean scrambling toward some prize just beyond my reach but accepting the treasure of true self I already possess. Vocation does not

come from a voice "out there" calling me to be something I am not. It comes from a voice "in here" calling me to be the person I was born to be, to fulfill the original selfhood given me at birth by God.”

- Thomas Merton
