Thanksgiving Day – Monday, October 9, 2017
Mass will be Celebrated at 10 AM in the Centre Chapel on that day. The parish office will be closed and there will be no adoration on that day.
2018 Mass Intentions
St. Peter’s Parish is now accepting 2018 Mass Intentions for parish weekday Masses (Monday-Friday) and weekend Masses.
Offering: For announced date $20 per Mass and for Unannounced date $10 per Mass. An unannounced Mass intention may be sent to priests outside the parish to be celebrated in the near future. Due to the large number of requests for Masses, the parish has been given permission to celebrate Mass with multiple intentions every Thursday at the 12:10 pm Mass. As this is something which requires special permission from the Bishop, the parish cannot accept multiple intentions on other days.

In honour of the feast of St. Francis of Assisi on October 4, the parish will celebrate the blessing of pets on Wednesday, October 4, 2017, at 6:30 pm outside the main doors of the Church. All pets and owners are welcome. Due to large number of animals, all pets must be leashed, caged or held in owners’ control.

Thanksgiving Food-Drive for the Good Shepherd Mission
The Good Shepherd Mission in Toronto looks after many of the city’s homeless and helps them find a warm meal all year round. Each year they rely on the generosity of Torontonians who are able to donate food to make their mission possible. This year the parish will be sponsoring a Thanksgiving Food Drive to support the Good Shepherd Mission. Please consider donating canned tuna, canned meat, canned fruit or vegetables, canned soups and stews, peanut butter, jam, cereal teabags, instant coffee, cookies, rice, and crackers. Please no fresh fruits or vegetables or frozen food. Some parishes decorate their sanctuaries with flowers on the Thanksgiving weekend. Let us decorate ours with food to be offered to those in need. Please bring your non-perishable food donations to any of our Sunday Masses on the Thanksgiving weekend-Oct. 7-8
