Donations for Good Shepherd Food Bank
Normally every thanksgiving the parish has a food drive for the Good Shepherd Ministry. This year we are not collecting canned foods. Instead, if you are able to support the Good Shepherd Ministry, you may donate money to help them feed those most in need. Donations may be sent directly to them at: Good Shepherd Ministries, 412 Queen Street East, Toronto, ON M5A 1T3. Alternatively, cheques may be made payable to: St. Peter’s Church – Food Drive and the parish will forward your donation directly to them. If you would like more information about the good work they do, please go to -www.goodshepherd.ca
Thank you for remembering those most in need at Thanksgiving.

The life of Saint Francis has served as a model for our present Holy Father, Pope Francis, who has chosen to name himself after this beloved saint.

In honour of the feast of St. Francis of Assisi on October 4, the parish will celebrate the blessing of pets on Sunday, October 4, 2020 at 2:30 pm outside the main doors of the Church. All pets and owners are welcome. For the safety of all people and animals, all pets must be leashed, caged or held in owners’ control.
Thank You to All Of Our Volunteers!
Since our parish re-opened in June, so many wonderful volunteers have worked as hospitality ministers and to keep our church clean. Thank you to all who have made re-opening possible through their generous work and contribution.
As we observe Stewardship Sunday in all the parishes throughout the Archdiocese of Toronto on Sunday, September 20th, Cardinal Collins has recorded a thank you video for all of the volunteers throughout the Archdiocese.
I join with him in thanking all who volunteer at St. Peter’s on this Stewardship Sunday.
Thank you so very much!!!
May God bless you and your families and keep you safe.
Fr. Michael
Please take the time to watch Cardinal Collins gratitude video.
