Fr. Jim Haley CSP – 50th Anniversary Prayer Cards

Posted on by

In May, Fr. Jim will celebrate the 50th anniversary of his ordination. He has served as pastor of St. Peter’s, and was also in semi-retirement here before the Paulists left Toronto. He now lives at the Paulist parish in Knoxville TN and is serving as temporary pastor for a nearby parish. Two Toronto Paulist Associates will travel to New York on the May long weekend for Fr. Jim’s anniversary and the ordinations of two new Paulists.

If you remember Fr. Jim and would like to assure him of your prayers, you can fill out a card for him. There will be a display and box at the back of the church. We will present the cards to Fr. Jim on May 19th. Here’s a link to more information about Fr. Jim on the Paulist web page: http://www.paulist.org/who-we-are/bio/fr-james-haley-c-s-p/

Living the Gospel by providing for those in need

“One of the core components of our Pastoral Plan is Catholic Outreach in Justice and Love. As a Catholic community we are called to be the hands and face of Jesus in our communities. ShareLife is a tangible way we can put the Gospel value to ‘love one another as I have loved you’ into action. I invite all parishioners to support the mission work of the church by making a sacrifcial gift to ShareLife.” —Thomas Cardinal Collins, Archbishop of Toronto.

Living the Gospel by helping those with addictions

Scarred by an abusive childhood, Andrew became addicted to hard drugs as an early teen. His next 20 years were spent in-and-out of jail and the hospital. He finally came to St. Michael’s Homes, a ShareLife-funded agency that offers a residential program for those struggling with substance abuse. Now sober and equipped with coping skills, Andrew is happy and building a new life. By supporting ShareLife, you’re helping people like Andrew get their lives back on track.

Next Sunday, April 22 is ShareLife Sunday.  Please give generously.
