WEEKLY MASS SCHEDULE

Please note: Regular confessions resume on Saturday, January 11th from 11:15am to noon.

Les confessions régulières reprendront le samedi 11 janvier, de 11h15 à midi.

Offering Mass is a long-standing

tradition in our Catholic faith. Masses can be offered for the deceased, someone who is ill, or for someone’s birthday. Mass intentions ($10) are offered at weekday Masses only. Contact the parish office to request a Mass intention. We ask that you book well ahead of time if

you are requesting Mass for a particular date.

Offrande de Messe: Communiquez avec la paroisse et indiquez nous où vous désirez que la Messe demandée soit célébrée, peu importe où vous assistez régulièrement. Réservez bien à l’avance pour avoir la

date voulue, surtout pour un anniversaire.

Home Visitation Ministry: Do you know of parishioners

who are unable to attend Mass

due to illness or age? If so,

please contact the office! We’d love to reach out to

them.

Communiquez avec le bureau si vous connaissez des

gens qui pourraient profiter d’une visite à domicile

offerte par notre Famille de paroisses. Nous aimerions

aller leur rendre visite!

First Friday Communion: On the

first Friday of every month the Pastoral

Team will be offering Home Communion

visits following the 9:15am Mass until

mid-afternoon. If you, or someone you

know is not able to attend Mass and is not

currently receiving communion from a

Home Communion Minister, please call

the office.

Les gens qui ne peuvent pas se rendre à l’église pour

raison de santé peuvent recevoir la communion à la

maison le premier vendredi du mois s’ils ne reçoivent

pas la communion de quelqu’un. d’autre. Communiquez

avec le bureau de votre paroisse pour nous avertir.

Epiphany: Discovering Jesus for the Magi was a life-altering experience. He was an unexpected surprise to whom they offered their treasures of gold, frankincense and myrrh. Following their own religious traditions, they

believed that the appearance of a new star heralded the birth of a new king. In a humble home in Bethlehem, they found Him, and were so moved by the experience that they could not help themselves but had to share the light that had been revealed to them. In that encounter, they were enlightened by Christ. Epiphany is the first public manifestation of the presence of Jesus in our world.

We are now a Family of Parishes who, like the Magi, are seeking to encounter Jesus. We come to Him from a place of curiosity to discover the light of His presence. In all that we live – good, difficult or indifferent – God is with us! That is the promise of the Emmanuel! May the glory of the Lord shine on our Family of Parishes throughout 2020 that we may learn to publicly manifest Jesus in the world in which we live.

Les Mages furent tellement émus par l'expérience de la rencontre de Jésus qu'ils ne purent que partager la lumière qui leur avait été révélée. L'Épiphanie est la première manifestation publique de la présence de Jésus dans notre monde.

Nous sommes maintenant une Famille de paroisses qui, comme les mages, cherche à rencontrer Jésus. Nous venons à Lui d'un lieu de curiosité pour découvrir la lumière de Sa présence. Dans tout ce que nous vivons - bon, difficile ou indifférent - Dieu est avec nous! Telle est la promesse de l'Emmanuel! Puisse la gloire du Seigneur rayonner sur notre Famille de paroisses tout au long de 2020 afin que nous puissions apprendre à manifester publiquement Jésus dans le monde dans lequel nous vivons.

E-Bulletin: Did you know that our Family of Parishes has

electronic copies of the bulletin? If you want to get an early look at the bulletin while going paperless, please contact the office so we can add you to our email list!

Bulletin électronique: si vous aimeriez une copie électronique du bulletin avant la fin de semaine et nous aider à diminuer le montant de papier que nous utilisons, communiquez avec le bureau afin qu’on ajoute votre nom à notre liste d’envoi.

Help us serve you better

The privacy act no longer

allows a list of hospitalized

patients to be given to clergy who visit the hospitals.

The only way to receive a visit while in hospital is

to inform the parish office that you are there!

Some of our senior parishioners have moved to rest

homes or nursing homes. It would be greatly

appreciated if family members could inform the

office so that some contact can be made with those

who no longer live in their own homes.

Finally, if your address or phone number has

changed in the past year or if you are new to the

parish, please be sure to notify the office so that our

records may be kept up to date.

As the cost of living continues to rise, it is important to adjust our contributions if that is possible. Please consider increasing your weekly donation and please be generous to the Capital Campaign projects that need to be paid and for those that are projected for this coming year. Pre-authorized donations ensure that your contributions go to the church of your choice and help secure a budget for your parish.

Please remember that each community bears the responsibility of paying for their buildings and property maintenance, as well as paying for their fair share of the services that are offered by the Pastoral and Parish Staffs.
