Our Lady of Mt. Carmel St. Mary’s Parish, London, invites all to attend the

feast in honour of the Solemnity of Our Lady of

Mount Carmel. Bishop Dabrowski will celebrate sol-

emn, bilingual Mass on Sunday, July 14 at 3 pm fol-

lowed by an outdoor rosary procession with the statue

of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel. The feast concludes with

Solemn Benediction. See poster on bulletin board for more infor-

mation.

The Norfolk Pregnancy & Family Resource Centre is

holding a Stroll-A-Thon event on July 20, 2019 from 10:30 AM

to 1:00 PM in 2 locations: Port Rowan & Waterford. It is our

hope that this event brings awareness and support across the county.

We are asking people to sign up to participate in this family-friendly

walk and raise support through pledges. We are also asking for ded-

icated supporters who may not be able to make it to the event, to

financially sponsor the event. If you would like to sign-up or offer a

sponsorship and donation, please contact us by emailing in-

fo@norfolkpc.org or calling 519-428-2177. We are praying that

this event is well loved and supported as we have lost a major fund-

raising opportunity when the Domino's fundraiser was canceled, and

the financial support is greatly needed. We would not exist without

the support of our local churches.

Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel in Merlin

Bishop Joseph Dabrowski invites you to celebrate the Feast of Our

Lady of Mount Carmel at the Shrine of Our Lady of the Rosary in

Merlin on Tues., July 16, 2019. The day begins with lunch at 12pm

and a Praise & Worship concert. A rosary procession will take

place at 1:30pmfollowed by the celebration of Mass and benedic-

tion at 2pm. If you’d like to join in a walking pilgrimage to the

Shrine. A pilgrimage encourages everyone to become missionary

disciples with us, and to invite their family, friends and neighbours

to pray together in this year dedicated to prayer in our diocese, to

deepen their faith and their relationship with the Lord.

Details can be found on the bulletin board.

Bishop’s Letter Bishop Fabbro has written a letter on the 40th Anniversary of the

Private Sponsorship of Refugees Program. “Forty years ago,” His

Excellency writes, “Canadians were moved by the plight of the ‘boat

people’ fleeing the violence and destruction of the Vietnam War. In

response, over 60,000 Vietnamese, Cambodian and Laotian refugees

were brought to Canada, many of whom were welcomed by faith

communities. This unprecedented response led to the establishment

of the Private Sponsorship of Refugees (PSR) program in 1979.

Since then, it has been a vital component of Canada’s immigration

system and has been recognized worldwide as demonstrating Cana-

da’s humanitarian leadership. Through this program, over 327,000

refugees have been resettled in Canada. For the first time ever, our

country has resettled more refugees than any other country in the

world.” The Bishop’s entire letter, as well as a video link, are availa-

ble on our diocesan website at www.dol.ca/news.

Mass Online Did you know that Mass is live-streamed every weekend in the Dio-

cese of London? Courtesy of St. George Parish, London, Mass is

available at www.youtube.com/user/sgtvlondon. There is even an

archive of past Masses, homilies, and special liturgical

events. Online viewing is a great option for those who are unable to

attend Mass in person due to illness, infirmity, travel, or any other

reason. And if you know someone who is “interested” in the Catho-

lic Church but not quite ready to make the leap, this may be an easy

introduction.
