Updated Notice to Parishioners: Each parishioner is asked to write their name and phone number on a piece of paper, deposit it in the box/can/basket provided at the church entrance. It is imperative that we have this information. Please bring this information with you each time you come to a Mass. This information will be kept at the office, and will assist us in case contact traces need to be made. Ushers will still be at the weekend Mass’s to assist you. All restrictions still apply until further notice. Thank you for all your patience and assistance during this time.
Important reminder. Parishioners are asked to wear masks/face coverings when arriving to and leaving Mass and coming forward for Communion. Those under the age of two, those who would have difficulty removing their own masks, and those with pre-existing respiratory conditions which would make wearing a mask difficult (such as severe asthma sufferers), are DISCOURAGED from wearing masks. Masked are mandated for when physical distancing is not possible – when you will be within 2 metres of another person.
Anyone wishing to have a candle lit may do so by dropping an envelope off at the office with your name on it
and we will go over and light the candle for you.

Parish News
St. Michaels cemetery is now offering above ground interment for ashes.
Cremations now represent 60% of the burials at St Michael’s Cemetery. Families bury ashes in standard grave
plots, often two family members per plot, at an approximate cost of $2600 (for the two family members
including a headstone).
The cemetery has been serving parishioners for over 200 years. If we continue to use grave plots for the burial
of ashes, the cemetery will be full in 10 to 15 years.
In September St Michaels will be installing a new Columbarium for above ground internment of ashes.
Each Columbarium niche can hold two standard size urns. There will be a total of 48 niches for (96 urns).
St Michaels is now offering these niches for sale at a cost of $1,700. The placing of ashes and inscription on the
granite doors will be an additional $240 (at the time of burial).
The total cost for this new service will be approximately $1940.
Porcelain photo’s can also be purchased for an additional cost and placed on the doors.
The Columbarium will be in the new section of the cemetery, and the area will have lighting and benches,
providing a tranquil place to visit loved ones.
For more information on the new Columbarium, or any lots in the cemetery, please visit the church office or call
778-5150. You can now make arrangements at the parish office to reserve your niche in the Columbarium.
Payment must be made in full at the time. Further inquiries can be directed to Steven O’Reilly at 773-9380.

In Your Senior Years, Consider This…
~ Your kids are becoming you… but your grandchildren are perfect! ~ Going out is good. Coming home is better! ~ You forget names. But it’s OK, because other people forgot they even knew you! ~ You realize you’re never going to be really good at anything… especially golf. ~ The things you used to care to do, you no longer care to do, but you really do care that you don’t care to do them anymore. ~ You sleep better on a lounge chair with the TV blaring than in bed. It’s called “pre-sleep.” ~ You miss the days when everything worked with just an “ON” and “OFF” switch. ~ You tend to use more 4 letter words… “what?”…”when?”… ??? ~ Now that you can afford expensive jewelry, it’s not safe to wear it anywhere. ~ You notice everything they sell in stores is “sleeveless”! ~ What used to be freckles are now liver spots. ~ Everybody whispers. ~ You have 3 sizes of clothes in your closet… 2 of which you will never wear again. ~ But… Old is good in some things: Old Songs, Old movies, and best of all, OLD FRIENDS!! Remember “It is health that is real wealth and not pieces of gold and silver.

Saint Jeanne Jugan’s Story—Saint of the Day—August 30th Born in northern France during the French Revolution—a time when congregations of women and men religious were being suppressed by the national government, Jeanne would eventually be highly praised in the French academy for her community’s compassionate care of elderly poor people.
When Jeanne was three and a half years old, her father, a fisherman, was lost at sea. Her widowed mother was hard pressed to raise her eight children alone; four died young. At the age of 15 or 16, Jeanne became a kitchen maid for a family that not only cared for its own members, but also served poor, elderly people nearby. Ten years later, Jeanne became a nurse at the hospital in Le Rosais. Soon thereafter, she joined a third order group founded by Saint John Eudes.
After six years she became a servant and friend of a woman she met through the third order. They prayed, visited the poor, and taught catechism to children. After her friend’s death, Jeanne and two other women continued a similar life in the city of Saint-Sevran. In 1839, they brought in their first permanent guest. They began an association, received more members, and more guests. Mère Marie of the Cross, as Jeanne was now known, founded six more houses for the elderly by the end of 1849, all staffed by members of her association—the Little Sisters of the Poor. By 1853, the association numbered 500 and had houses as far away as England.
Abbé Le Pailleur, a chaplain, had prevented Jeanne’s reelection as superior in 1843; nine years later, he had her assigned to duties within the congregation, but would not allow her to be recognized as its founder. In 1890, the Holy See removed him from office.
By the time Pope Leo XIII gave her final approval to the community’s constitutions in 1879, there were 2,400 Little Sisters of the Poor. Jeanne died later that same year, on August 30. Her cause was introduced in Rome in 1970. She was beatified in 1982, and canonized in 2009.
