THIRD SUNDAY OF LENT

PASTOR’S CORNER

Our ShareLife Campaign 2019 will start next weekend with our first guest speaker. Each year

over 200,000 people across the Archdiocese of Toronto rely on the support of ShareLife agen-

cies for help. This fact reminds us that we can do a lot from a distance to help many families in

crisis, people with special needs, the elderly, immigrants and refugees, our seminarians, and

many others who count on the generosity of the Catholic Church in Toronto. Of course, you

may say or think, “I have already given so much. When will this stop?” The answer to this

query can only be this: When God stops giving to you in so many ways every single day. And

every gift we have received is meant to be shared if possible. So I want to ask you on behalf of

ShareLife to be as generous as you can during the next three months, and especially on March

31, May 5 and June 2. Once again, we can work wonders if we keep in mind what St. Augus-

tine once said: “He who is charitable at heart, will always find something to give to his broth-

ers and sisters in need.”

Fr. Slawek

STATIONS OF THE CROSS

Every Friday during Lent 7 p.m.—8 p.m.

Attention Parishioners

Starting on the last weekend of March we will be praying the prayer St. Michael the Archangel after the blessing. The prayer is located in the front cover of the Catholic Book of Worship.

SAINT MICHAEL THE ARCHANGEL PRAYER

Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in

battle. Be our protection against the wicked-

ness and snares of the devil; May God rebuke

him, we humbly pray; And do thou, O Prince

of the Heavenly Host, by the power of God,

thrust into hell Satan and all evil spirits who

wander through the world for the ruin of souls.

Amen

Mission Appeal Collection

Next week on the Wednesday, March

27 during the Mission there will be a second collection for the Mission Ap-peal. Envelopes are available for pickup at the table at the back of the Church.
