APOSTOLIC EXHORTATION GAUDETEET EXSULTATE

OF THE HOLY FATHER FRANCIS

ON THE CALL TO HOLINESS IN TODAY’S WORLD

continued

17. At times, life presents great challenges. Through them, the Lord calls us anew to

a conversion that can make his grace more evident in our lives, “in order that we

may share his holiness” (Heb 12:10). At other times, we need only find a more

perfect way of doing what we are already doing: “There are inspirations that tend

solely to perfect in an extraordinary way the ordinary things we do in life”.[15] When

Cardinal François-Xavier Nguyên van Thuân was imprisoned, he refused to waste

time waiting for the day he would be set free. Instead, he chose “to live the present

moment, filling it to the brim with love”. He decided: “I will seize the occasions that

present themselves every day; I will accomplish ordinary actions in an extraordinary

way”.[16]

18. In this way, led by God’s grace, we shape by many small gestures the holiness

God has willed for us, not as men and women sufficient unto ourselves but rather

“as good stewards of the manifold grace of God” (1 Pet 4:10). The New Zealand

bishops rightly teach us that we are capable of loving with the Lord’s unconditional

love, because the risen Lord shares his powerful life with our fragile lives: “His love

set no limits and, once given, was never taken back. It was unconditional and

remained faithful. To love like that is not easy because we are often so weak. But just

to try to love as Christ loved us shows that Christ shares his own risen life with us. In

this way, our lives demonstrate his power at work – even in the midst of human

weakness”.[17]

Attention Parishioners - Guardian Angels Church The Building Commission has advised that construction of the

long awaited parking lot, circle driveway and sidewalks will

finally be commencing on August 7th

• This project is expected to

last for 5 to 6 weeks until September 7th

or 14th

• The planting of

landscaping trees and shrubs will take place in the fall. This will

be a very difficult time for parishioners entering the church for

Mass, the Adoration Chapel, admittance to the church office, for

services provided by St. Vincent de Paul and for any funerals

scheduled during this time. Parking will be mostly affected.

The complete parking lot on the old school site will be closed

along with the complete driving circle entrance to the church,

church office, Adoration Chapel and St. Vincent de Paul Food

Bank.

These alternate arrangements will be required to gain access

where required:

- Church Office - visitors to office to enter, parking on

Penetang Street, with entrance to church from Baptismal

entrance and through church to office entrance near

Chapel. The Baptismal entrance will be open from 10:00 am

to 11:30 am, closed for lunch from 11:30 am to 1:00 pm and

open from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm Monday to Friday.

- Society of St. Vincent de Paul - Vinnie's as well as the Food

Bank will be closed during the construction and will reopen

in September.

- Good Food Box - delivery of produce and clients coming to

pick up produce to enter off Penetang Street church hall

entrance

- Funerals - Arrangements have been made with Mundell's for

access to church for funerals with coffin from West Street

through front doors

- Parking for Saturday and Sunday Masses - parking at

Mundell's or Lion's Oval with entrance through doors on

Penetang Street side or front door on West Street side.

Chairs will also be set up in the Church Hall with audio video

from the main floor with Eucharist served at the appropriate

time. This is to accommodate those having difficulty getting

into the church who could enter the Church Hall from the

Penetang Street entrance.

- Parking for Weekday Masses - parking on Penetang Street,

Mundell's if there is no funeral or visitations going on or

(Lion's Oval until August 31st

). When school commences no

parking in Lion's Oval for the noon Mass.

- Adoration Chapel - The Adoration Chapel will be closed

during the period of construction and will reopen in

September.

Your full cooperation is requested during the period of

construction. The end result will be a parking lot with more

coordinated parking.
