Living the Gospel by supporting the Deaf community

Imagine you were a Deaf child and your parents and siblings didn’t know sign language. Your parents could gesture in a rudimentary way, but how do you share your joys, fears and needs? Silent Voice teaches American Sign Language and Deaf culture to families so they can share a common language. Says one grateful parent, “I’m so passionate about Silent Voice because their Family Communication Program rescues children from social isolation.” Last year more than 750 Deaf children and adults received help through ShareLife-supported programs at Silent Voice.

April 22 is the next ShareLife Sunday.

Please give generously.

The Legion of Mary is coordinating a Pilgrimage to Divine Mercy Shrine, Stockbridge, Massachusetts, on April 7, 8, 9, 2018. If interested, please call Luz at 416-925-9825 for the price.

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.

Living the Gospel locally and around the world

“It is important that we continue to support the ShareLife appeal, to provide for the needs of the marginalized both here in our communities and around the world. Sometimes the results are obvious and sometimes they’re invisible, but always they make a tangible diference in the lives of the people we are helping. Please prayerfully consider how you can be supportive today on ShareLife Sunday.” —Thomas Cardinal Collins, Archbishop of Toronto.

Today is ShareLife Sunday. Thank you for your generosity.

There will be no Memorial Mass in the month of March as the last Friday of the month falls on Good Friday.

Kindly note that on Tuesday, March 27, Mass will be celebrated at 8:00 AM in the Centre Chapel rather than the normal time as Fr. Michael will be attending the Chrism Mass at 11:00 AM held at St. Michael’s Cathedral on that day.

The Sisters of Life will be hosting “The Source” here in our Church on Thursday, March  22 at 7:00 PM. You are invited to come for an evening of Eucharistic Adoration (7:00 PM – 8:00 PM) followed by Christian fellowship (Social at 8:00 PM – 9:00 PM). Confession will also be available during Adoration.

Living the Gospel by supporting ShareLife

How do we “Live the Gospel” toward others when our daily lives are so busy? For some it’s volunteering at a soup kitchen, or it may be caring for an elderly relative. If we do not have the time to actively participate, we can support the many ShareLife-funded agencies within our community that bring the hands of Christ to those in need. Next Sunday is the frst ShareLife collection. Over the next week, refect on your ability to help “Live the Gospel” through Catholic agencies, and make a decision to support our ShareLife parish campaign.

Next Sunday, March 18 is ShareLife Sunday.  Please give generously.
