FROM THE PASTOR'S DESK

Parish Corn Roast

Many thanks to all those who participated in our recent

parish Corn Roast. The evening was a great success,

thanks to the many parishioners who volunteered their

time to organize and host the event. Around 100 people

came out to share a delicious meal and a good time. The

hard work of our parish Development Committee and their

collaborators was evident. While not, strictly speaking, a

fundraiser, the event had the added benefit of making a

few dollars as well. Stay tuned for word of similar events

in the future!

DIOCESAN PRAYER CALENDAR

This week we especially pray for:

Monday Very Reverend Michael King

Tuesday Very Reverend Monsignor Murray Kroetsch

Wednesday Jesuit Fathers (S.J.)

Thursday Very Reverend Adrian Lee

Friday Reverend Monsignor Edward Sheridan

Saturday Reverend Robert Kiffman

Eternal Father, we lift up to you these and all the priests,

religious and lay ministers of the world. Sanctify them.

Heal them; guide them. Mold them into the likeness and

holiness of your Son, Jesus, the Eternal High Priest. May

their lives be pleasing to You. In Jesus’ name we pray.

Amen.

Matrimony - a beautiful vocation so

misused today. Celibacy - a beautiful

gift so misunderstood today. Whether

we do God’s work in pairs or as a

single person in ministry or in a community, we do God’s

work because He calls us. If you feel God is calling you to

a Church vocation, contact Father Michael King, Director

of Vocations and Priestly Formation, Diocese of Hamilton

at 905-528-7988 or email mking@hamiltondiocese.com.

RCIA - For those not yet Baptized, Baptized

in another Faith, those not yet Confirmed or

those who have questions

about the Catholic Christian Faith.

RCIA is a path for teens and adults to learn more about

the Catholic faith. It is for those wishing to receive the

Sacraments and for those who are just interested in

knowing more and might have questions. Sessions are on

Wednesdays at 7:00 p.m. in the Marian Room. For more

information, call the parish office and a team member will

contact you.

ST. VINCENT DE PAUL

THANKSGIVING

FOOD DRIVE

The annual St. Vincent de

Paul Food Drive is this

weekend, October 6th and

7th. Parishioners are

encouraged to bring non-

perishable food items to

the church and deposit them in the boxes near the

entrances or by the St. Vincent de Paul room, next to the

Chapel.

DEVELOPMENT AND

PEACE FALL

ACTION CAMPAIGN

“WALK A MILE IN THEIR SHOES”

This year, Development and Peace is striving to bring

greater attention to the world's refugee crisis. Refugees

flee their homelands when no other options remain; when

staying would otherwise lead to displacement or death. As

an act of solidarity with the world's 68.5 million forced

migrants, Development and Peace would like the

collective "we" to walk the circumference of the Earth

(40,075km) by August 31, 2019.

St. Anthony Daniel Parish will be participating in this

collective walk on October 21st after the 10:30 a.m.

Mass. There will be options for walkers and non-walkers.

You can walk as little or as much as you like, and we'll

have multiple rest stops. After the walk, we'll upload our

total mileage to the Development and Peace website to

help get us "around the Earth."

More information on the refugee crisis can be found at

devp.org. To learn more about this exciting parish

group, email Rebecca at gorebgo@hotmail.com. We

hope to walk or pray with you on October 21st!

WE GIVE THANKS

FOR OUR VOLUNTEERS

Scores of individuals, young and old,

support the good work of our many

ministries at our parish. Through the contribution of their

time and talents, we all benefit, and our church is a

stronger community.

Thank you to all our volunteers! As you bless others with

your work, you are blessed in return.

Thinking of volunteering at our church? Next weekend

is your opportunity to talk with volunteers from our

various ministries in the PLC after all Masses, for our

special Stewardship Weekend.

assisting or if you would like further information, please

our gathering in the Marian Room on:

Wednesday, October 10th from 1:00 -3:00 p.m.

Bring your current knitting/crocheting project! Please

are made with prayers to help those who need the warmth
