At this meeting, there will be a presentation on the computer technology support services. “Connected Canadians” is a not-for-profit group dedicated to removing digital barriers by providing free technology training and support to older Canadians (50 and over) across the country. The St. Peter’s Wisdom Group would like to invite all interested parishioners to come and learn about the range of tutorials, workshop skills and customized one-on-one mentorship offered by Connected Canadians, and how to access these services. The presentation will take place on May 23 at 9:30 in our Parish Auditorium and will be delivered by a Connected Canadians mentor virtually through a live Zoom link. The meeting will be broadcast on the auditorium projector screen so we will be able to see him on-screen and pose any questions we may have. Don’t miss this wonderful opportunity to learn about this valuable resource!

Please join the St. Peter’s Group of Wisdom for a lovely morning of classical strings music on May 9, 2024 at 9:30-11:00am in the Parish Auditorium. Wonderfully talented and creative musicians, Sebastian Ostertag and Eric Kim-Fujita will present a kaleidoscopic exploration of the season of “summer”, with music for violin and cello. Featuring works by Antonio Vivaldi, Astor Piazzola, and Hans Richter, the duo will showcase the many virtuosic and expressive influences that this season has had on composers throughout the ages. Sebastian and Eric are members of Toronto’s Interro String Quartet and perform regularly throughout the GTA and beyond. Sebastian is also Director at Sistema Toronto, a remarkable not-for-profit organization providing ensemble-based music education to children in underserved communities.

Have you ever wondered what it was like to know Mother Teresa, to work closely with Mother Teresa?!…Sr Bernice from the Missionaries of Charity, who did just that, will be coming to St Peter’s on April 26 from 9:30am-11:30am in the auditorium.

Come and listen to her testimony, her experience of working with Mother Teresa and the poorest of the poor people, in various parts of the world; who is now currently serving our very own community here in Toronto.

You can also find Sr Bernice on the Catholic Hallow App.

I promise you, that you will leave this talk with a whole new take on life!
Sr Bernice will have you crying, laughing and maybe even dancing to one of her favorite songs. She is the definition of true love, strength, determination and holiness. The Parish seniors group of wisdom will be hosting this event.
