St. Vincent de Paul annual collecRon - Hello Parishioners of Good Shepherd Parish, We are so pleased to again be serving our friends in need in our communi8es. In the midst of the pandemic, we have had to change how we do some things, but the need is equally as great, possibly greater. On Thanksgiving Weekend (October 10th - 11th) Masses, the special collec8on will be for St. Vincent de Paul and will cover both the St. Agnes and St. Thomas Aquinas/Canadian Martyrs geographical areas. With fewer parishioners able to be at Mass, we understand that there will be fewer dona8ons, so please try your best to contribute if you can. If you will not be at Mass, you can send your dona8on to the Parish Office and it will be forwarded to us. Thank you for all your generosity in the past, enjoy this beauWful season of Fall and stay well.

The Mass will happen on October 3 at 11:00am at Saint Mary’s Cathedral Basilica. This worldwide order is dedicated to suppor8ng Chris8ans living in the Holy Land and the Holy places where Jesus was born, lived, taught, was crucified and rose again for our salva8on. This year marks the 10th Anniversary of the Lieutenancy in Atlan8c Canada and we welcome Archbishop Dunn and look forward to his spiritual leadership. To watch the Mass please go to www.halifaxyarmouth.org and click on the livestream link. CollecRon for the Pastoral Works of the Holy Father: Peter’s Pence As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the closure of churches to the general public, the Holy See postponed the annual collec8on for the 2020 Pope’s Pastoral Works (Peter’s Pence Collec8on) from the tradi8onal date, the sixth Sunday of Easter (this year May 17, 2020) to the new date of October 4, 2020, Memorial of St. Francis of Assisi. The concrete par8cipa8on, including economic, in the needs of the universal ecclesial community has taken different forms throughout history. This collec8on and dona8ons by the individual faithful or en8re local churches raise the awareness that all the bap8zed are called to materially sustain the work of evangeliza8on and at the same 8me to help the poor in whatever way is possible. You will find an envelope for the Pope’s Pastoral Works in your regular parish envelopes. (May 17, 2020) You can also give to Peter’s Pence online at: www.obolodisanpietro.va/en/storia.html Blessing of the Animas Show your love for all crea8on and bring your furry, feathery or other pets to a Blessing of the Animals on Sunday, October 4th at 2 p.m. - St. Agnes Parking Lot.
