His resurrection is a gift that lights our way and brings joy and peace to our hearts.
May God’s blessings be with you at Easter.

HAPPY EASTER!

Working wonders overseas through the Pastoral Mission Fund…

“This workshop has helped me to reflect on my priestly call, a privileged service in God’s Kingdom; and has reenergized me and my brother priests to be better in our service. Given our rural and remote location, serving people who live in poverty can be draining at times. This workshop and dialogue has made a renewing impact for many of us. It has given us hope and strength to renew our enthusiasm and we do hope it continues in the future. We are deeply grateful and offer our prayers of support to ShareLife who made it financially possible for us to come together.” —St. Justine de Jacobis Pastoral Office, Catholic Eparchy of Segenelty, Eritrea.

Next ShareLife Sunday is April 17, 2016
Please give generously. You can work wonders!

St. Peter’s Office will be closed on Easter Monday, March 28. Daily Mass on that day will be at 10:00 AM in the Centre Chapel. Please note that there will be no adoration on that day.

Kindly note that on Tuesday, March 22, Mass will be celebrated at 8:00 AM in the Centre Chapel rather than the normal time as Fr. Michael and Fr. Yaw will be attending the Chrism Mass at 11:00 AM held at St. Michael’s Cathedral on that day.

Every year the parish relies on the generosity of parishioners to decorate the church with flowers. If you would like to make a donation to purchase flowers, please make your donation  by using the envelope “Flowers for Easter” marked with your name, address and envelope numbers. Thank you for your generosity.

Working wonders by providing vital life-restoring needs…

“Agencies are lifesaving and life-restoring to those who regularly rely on them. Families are working through crises

and are healing. People with developmental challenges are supported as they experience a sense of self-worth and fulfillment in their daily activities. Seniors are living independently, yet have access to the social services and care they need. Refugees and new Canadians are guided toward a stable, productive livelihood in their newfound home. Sometimes the results are obvious and sometimes they’re invisible but, always, they make a tangible difference. Please prayerfully consider today how you can support ShareLife.” —Thomas Cardinal Collins, Archbishop of Toronto.

Today is ShareLife Sunday – March 13, 2016

By June 2016, the Government of Canada is expected to pass legislation to legalize assisted suicide. Cardinal Collins encourages Catholics throughout the archdiocese to visit CanadiansforConscience.ca and support the Coalition for HealthCARE and Conscience. The coalition represents a group of like-minded partners, including 5,000 doctors across Canada, who are committed to protecting conscience rights for health practitioners and facilities. You can use this website to write directly to your Member of Parliament, respectfully expressing your concerns. Given tight timelines for this legislation, please take action no later than April 1, 2016.

Working wonders for those in our community…

“At Mary Centre, the residents of our homes have developed friendships, yet they maintain their own individuality,” says Denise Tremblett, Program Manager, “Although some of their relatives may have passed on, they love to remain active with healthy recreational activities and visiting regularly with the rest of their friends and family members. We enjoy cooking and providing for them so they can remain at home here and enjoy their lives. We are extremely grateful that ShareLife donors have helped to make a difference for these very special people!” Last year, over 1,500 people with special needs received outreach services from ShareLife-supported agencies.

Sunday March 13, 2016 is ShareLife Sunday
