Mass Streamed Online

Did you know that Mass is live-streamed every weekend in the Diocese of London? Courtesy of St. George Parish, Lon-don, Mass is available at www.youtube.com/user/sgtvlondon. There is even an archive of past Masses, homi-lies, 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 Catholic Church but not quite ready to make the leap, this may be an easy introduction.

Palms to Ashes

Please bring your old palms to Church

from February 16th - February 26th.

The purple collection box will be at the Welcome Desk.

RELATIONSHIP WORKSHOP

Whether you have been married for 50 years or are just starting your married life, this workshop is for you. From a faith context you will better understand how God’s grace was at work attracting you to your partner, and how safety becomes the key to the relationship of your dreams. You will learn a variety of communication skills that will enhance your relationship. Most of the day will be dialogue between you and your partner as you practice using the tools of the workshop. There will be time for reflection, dialogue and some fun as well.

Please join us on Saturday, February 29th, 2020 at St. Cecile Residence, 3999 Riverside Dr. , from 9 am - 4 pm (lunch and snacks included). Contact Kim Gosling at 519-996-1310 to register or answer any questions.
