The installation of Bishop Francis (Frank) Leo as Archbishop of Toronto will take place on Saturday, March 25, 2023 at 10 a.m.  Given capacity restrictions at St. Michael’s Cathedral Basilica, this will be an invitation-only event. The Mass of Installation will be livestreamed through stmichaelscathedral.com/live and broadcast on Salt & Light Catholic TV and through their website slmedia.org.

Parishioners are invited to attend a regional Mass of Welcome taking place in the Central Region on Tuesday, April 11, 2023 at Blessed Trinity Parish, Toronto at 7 p.m.  A reception will follow Mass in the parish hall. All are welcome. Please continue to keep Archbishop Leo in your prayers as he begins his ministry as our shepherd.

St. Peter’s Parish requires counters to assist with the counting of the collection. Volunteers work in teams of four. This is an ideal volunteer position for a retired person available in the daytime. If you are a regular parishioner and willing to help, please contact the office at 416-534-4219 . As this is a high risk volunteer position, volunteers must be willing to undergo a police background check and complete the volunteer screening procedures.

This Sunday, March 12, 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.
