This weekend June 1st & 2nd

Appreciation Weekend in the Narthex

Hosted by: Parish Council Celebrate our Parish Volunteers!

Baptisms: If you have a child needing the Sacrament of Baptism, please contact the parish to make an appointment with Nives. We ask that you contact the parish 12 weeks in advance. We suggest if possible do the preparation during your pregnancy. The next Baptism Prep class is on June 12, 2019. If you are planning to be at this prep please meet with Nives before you attend. Are you thinking of becoming a Catholic? Do you have questions about our faith? What is holding you back? If you have any interest please contact the parish to make an appointment to meet with Fr. Pio or Nives. The RCIA is the journey you embark on to learn more about our beautiful faith that is rich in traditions and rituals. It has depth and much clarity on what we believe in. Meeting with us does by no way commit you but may answer some of your questions. To our parish community please ask people who you may think may be interested; as baptized Catholics it is all of our job to ask people to join our faith. Remember the Holy Spirit is always at work if we open our hearts to the possibilities.

Meat Pies are available - Chicken, beef and turkey - $4 each. Call Mary Anne 519-472-6049.

It has been 102 years since Mother Mary first appeared to the children of Fatima in May 1917. On May 13, 2010, Pope Benedict affirmed: “He deceives himself who thinks that the prophetic mission of Fatima is concluded.” Her messages are very important to the times we are living in. The full story of Fatima is included in the packages that accompany the statue. Read it all and be informed. To have the pilgrim statue of our Lady of Fatima in your home for a week please contact Marianne Proulx @ 519-686-9581 or mariannelproulx@gmail.com

Fr. Pio will be away on retreat this coming week and therefore there will be NO daily masses. Fr. Paul Baillargeon will join us to celebrate Mass next weekend!
