Live the Gospel by supporting ShareLife
ShareLife Sunday is March 27th. Our parish goal for this year’s campaign is $42,000
This year, we are encouraging you to make your donation online via sharelife.org.
Monthly Pre-Authorized Giving (PAG) is a convenient way to spread your ShareLife contribution throughout the year. Simply fill out the form on a ShareLife pew envelope, include a void cheque, and then give it to the parish office or drop it in the offertory basket at any time. Contact ShareLife at slife@archtoronto.org or 416-934-3411 if you have any questions about pre-authorized giving.
Parishioners who have previously supported our parish campaign are being sent a letter from Cardinal Collins. Information about how to again support our campaign is also found in the included letter from His Eminence. Thank you for supporting ShareLife!
This weekend, March 13, is the beginning of Daylight Savings Time. We ask you to please remember to set your clocks, watches, and other time keeping devices ahead one hour next Saturday evening before retiring for the evening so that you will arrive on time for Sunday Mass.
We are having a meeting for anyone who would like to volunteer to help with this event. Past volunteers and new volunteers are encouraged to attend this meeting. The meeting will cover volunteer logistics and next steps.
During these past few Sundays, leading up to the beginning of Lent 2022, the second reading at Mass has been taken from Saint Paul’s First Letter to the Corinthians. In this early letter, from about the year 54 A.D., Saint Paul writes about some of the very basic realities of our Christian faith. As we hear proclaimed on this Sunday, the eighth in Ordinary Time, “But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ” (1 Corinthians 15:57), Saint Paul is reminding us what our faith is all about—what we are preparing during Lent to celebrate this coming Easter. The Christian faith is based in the reality that Christ truly entered into our world, really died and was raised from the dead in order that we, through baptism, might also be raised up with him in the flesh and truly share in His victory over death and come to eternal life with Him.
