The Chief Medical Officer for the Province of Ontario has asked that there be no gatherings of greater then 250 person as a result of the present situation related to coronavirus (COVID-19). For this reason, Cardinal Collins has asked that there be no public Masses celebrated this weekend in the Archdiocese of Toronto.

Weekday Masses will still be celebrated Monday to Friday at 8:00 am at St. Peter’s Parish as usual.

Fr. Michael will celebrate the Mass intentions for this weekend in privately celebrated Masses.

St. Peter’s Church will be open on Saturday afternoon from 3:30 pm to 6:00 pm for Eucharistic Adoration. The Church will also be open from 8:00 am to 1:00 pm on Sunday Morning for Eucharistic Adoration.

All are welcome to visit the Church for prayer on Sunday morning.

Please see the Cardinal’s letter by following this link.

At this time, let us pray for all those who are sick and all those who care for the weak and vulnerable in our society.

Living the Gospel by helping young mothers
Kristen was 17 when she found out she was pregnant. Worried she wouldn’t be able to graduate from high school, she reached out to Rose of Sharon. At this ShareLife-funded agency she was able to focus on school work with the help of child minding by the agency. Kristen graduated and was accepted into the medical administration program at Seneca College. “Without Rose of Sharon,” says Kristen, “there’s no way I would have believed college was a possibility.”

ShareLife: It’s who we are!
Catholic agencies have been serving those among us who are poor, sick and marginalized since the founding of our diocese 178 years ago – it’s who we are as Catholics in the Archdiocese of Toronto! We continue that legacy through ShareLife, which funds over 40 agencies that provide unconditional care, regardless of religious affiliation.

Living the Gospel by sharing our blessings

“The needs of our brothers and sisters in Christ are greater than ever before. In order for ShareLife agencies to continue their vital work, it is crucial we meet our parish campaign goal of $13.8 million. Our goal can be met, but only with your help. As you contemplate the blessings God has entrusted to you, please join me in giving to ShareLife to the best of your ability.” – Cardinal Thomas Collins
