Fifth Sunday of Lent – April 3, 2022

Decorative ImageToday’s Gospel shares the parable of the woman accused of adultery. Jesus admonishes the gathered scribes and Pharisees. They want her stoned and Jesus says “Let anyone among you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.”

Our Lord’s message is one of great love, forgiveness and respect for all of God’s people.

Social Service agencies funded by ShareLife have an ‘open intake policy’ and provide help based on need—not on lifestyle, gender, ethnicity, nor the faith beliefs of those they help.

With last week’s ShareLife collection, our parishioners have contributed $4125 toward our goal of $42,000

Thank you for supporting ShareLife!

The Synod on Synodality: Come and Share Your Thoughts on the Church on March 31 and April 7, 2022!

Decorative ImagePope Francis has launched the Synod on Synodality, an ambitious two-year global process of listening to the faithful.

“Synod” comes from an ancient Greek word meaning “walking together on the road.” There have been many synods in the history of the Church, but these have traditionally been opportunities for bishops to come together to determine the path forward for the Church.

With the Synod on Synodality, Pope Francis is asking every Catholic to help discern what the Holy Spirit is telling us at this moment as the Church enters its third millennium.

The first phase of the Synod on Syndodality will last through the first half of 2022 and will see the world’s faithful sharing their thoughts at a diocesan level. All those diocesan-level responses will be collected and summarized. Then the bishops of Canada will meet to discuss what they heard in their respective dioceses, followed by larger multinational meetings and, ultimately, culminating in a synod of bishops in the Vatican in 2023.

Parishioners are invited to participate in this process by coming to two discussion evenings on Thursday, March 31st and Thursday, April 7th at 7:00 pm in the parish hall. The results of this discussion will be reported to the Archdiocese in order that they may be shared with Pope Francis.
