The Call for Conscience 2018 Campaign is underway. Cardinal Collins and bishops across Ontario are asking for an email address from every Catholic family in their community, with a goal of 100,000 email addresses collected by the end of February 2018. This information will be used locally by Cardinal Collins and trusted faith partners to communicate periodically (approximately 6-8 times each year) on issues of particular importance for the Catholic community.

The first campaign of 2018 is the Call for Conscience, inviting our elected Members of Provincial Parliament (MPP’s) and those seeking office this June to increase funding/access to palliative care, to protect health care workers wishing to abstain from any involvement in euthanasia/assisted suicide and to protect faith based facilities from participation in euthanasia/assisted suicide. The work builds on a similar campaign in 2017.

Please take a moment to provide your contact information at the back of the church on the weekends of February 24/25 and March 3/4. Thank you for living a faith that acts!

Please be informed that the tax receipts for 2017 have been mailed out the week of February 4. For those who wish to begin to use pre-authorized giving, a authorization form was sent out with the receipts. Please consider this way of supporting your Parish. Thank you very much for your contributions. We appreciate your generosity in supporting your spiritual home.

A two (2) evening program on Tuesdays, Feb. 20 and 27 will be offered highlighting the life and sermons of Venerable Bishop Fulton Sheen on the passion and death of Jesus. DVD’s and text reflections will be incorporated into presentations at the Parish Centre in the St Paul’s room at 7:00 p.m.   Facilitator: Sr. Gabriel M. Riddle cps
