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.  One of the ways that we do this is through our annual ShareLife appeal, which provides resources to agencies serving the poor and marginalized not only in our archdiocese, but also around the world.  ShareLife is a tangible way that we can put the Gospel value to love one another as I have loved you into action, and I invite all parishioners to support the mission work of the Catholic church by making a sacrificial gift to ShareLife.” —Thomas Cardinal Collins, Archbishop of Toronto.

Today is ShareLife Sunday – May 7, 2017.  Thank you for your generosity.

“Homosexuality, Gender Identity, and the Catholic Faith: Welcoming and Accompanying with the Heart of Christ”

A talk by Father Kevin Belgrave at 7:00 pm on Wednesday May 10, 2017 in the Parish Hall.

“Questions of sexual identity in our time are as important as they are challenging. Often the subject of much attention, and tension, both within and outside the Church, they can evoke different reactions in each of us. This talk will allow an opportunity to explore the Catholic vision of the human person, love, and sexuality, and how this vision shapes our response to our brothers and sisters experiencing same-sex attraction or questions of gender identity.”

On this day, Cardinal Collins has asked that we all take the time, as a community, to pray for all vocations; priesthood, religious and consecrated life. During this time, we also ask that you pray for our five soon-to-be priests along with all those who are discerning or who are currently in formation. For more information, please contact your parish office, call the Office of Vocations at 416-968-0997 or email vocations@archtoronto.org

On Friday, May 26^th, after the 7:00 Memorial Mass, Fr. Mike Kallock, a Paulist Father who used to minister here at St. Peter’s, will return to the parish for a half hour presentation.

Many Catholics would like to have a greater understanding of the Holy Spirit. Father Mike will speak to us about how the Holy Spirit is the indwelling presence of God in us and the breath of life who enkindles in our hearts the fire of God’s love.

Please plan to attend the Mass and Fr. Mike’s talk, not only to learn more about God, the Holy Spirit, but to catch up with one of our Paulist friends.

The parish will celebrate a Mass with the Sacrament of the Anointing of the sick on Sunday, May 28, at 2:30 PM. The Sacrament of the sick can be celebrated for any person who is ill and in danger of death or elderly. The sacrament is intended to bring physical and spiritual healing to those who are seriously ill. It also asks God for the grace to accept the suffering that comes with serious illness or diminished health due to age. If this applies to you or anyone you know, please consider attending or telling others about this celebration.
