WEEKLY MASS SCHEDULE

Connecting to the Word of God: Last year, Pope Francis declared the 3rd

Sunday in Ordinary Time as the “Sunday of the Word of God”. The importance of

Scripture, especially when it is proclaimed at Mass is essential to our daily lives. He wrote: “Believers are bound to listen attentively to the Word of the Lord, both in the celebration of the liturgy and in their personal prayer and reflection.” (Aperuit Ills, 7)

Attentive listening means allowing the Holy Spirit, who has inspired the Bible, to breathe life into the words we read, pray and reflect upon. This is how God’s Word continues to be “a living word”, applicable to our lives today. God may well have a message for YOU. Are you listening?

Le Pape François a déclaré le 3e dimanche du Temps ordinaire comme le «dimanche de la Parole de Dieu». Il a écrit: «Les croyants sont tenus d'écouter attentivement la Parole du Seigneur, tant dans la célébration de la liturgie que dans leur prière et leur réflexion personnelles.» (Apéruit Ills, 7). Dieu pourrait bien avoir un message pour VOUS. Écoutez-vous?

Our Mission Statement: “Jesus lives within us. We can change the world!” The power of the Eucharist fills us with the sacramental presence of Jesus whose Body & Blood we receive in Holy Communion. Along with the Word of God, our Communion with Jesus allows Him to live within us. It is with the power of Jesus that we can change the world!

«Jésus vit en nous. Nous pouvons changer le monde! »La puissance de l'Eucharistie nous remplit de la présence sacramentelle de Jésus dont nous recevons le Corps et le Sang dans la Sainte Communion. Avec la Parole de Dieu, notre communion avec Jésus lui permet de vivre en nous. C'est avec la puissance de Jésus que nous pouvons changer le monde!

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, that they may find peace in

the loving arms of the Lord .

Save the Date: Everyone is invited to join fellow parishioners for refreshments and treats for Coffee Sunday after each Mass at each parish February 8th & 9th. Please plan on attending!

Words of Appreciation: On behalf of

our Family and Youth Formation Worker Sue

Orcsik, who planned and organized the

Confirmation retreats for the students of our

Family of Parishes, sincere thanks to the adult volunteers

and teachers. Together they provided a unique

opportunity for our candidates to learn about “who they

are as young people and believers”, “what we believe

and profess in the creed” and “how to seek the guidance

of the Holy Spirit in their life-decisions”. Parishioners

are encouraged to continue to pray for our candidates

who will be confirmed as well as their families!
