REFLECTION
As disciples of Christ, we have received the Holy Spirit, just as the first disciples did on the day of Pentecost. We all have moments of darkness however the light of faith helps guide and sustain us. Through acts of charity, mercy, and kindness, we become gentle lights for others, bringing warmth and hope to those in need. We can also offer prayers to dispel the darkness in the world. When we forgive, show compassion, and offer simple kindness, the Holy Spirit works through us to comfort others. May we also be open to receiving this light and warmth from our faith community, remembering that we are never alone. God’s love surrounds and guides us always.
notice
There will be no Mass in our parish on Tuesday, March 31. This is because all the priests in our archdiocese, including the priests serving in our parish, will be attending the Chrism Mass at the Cathedral, in preparation for the Holy Week and Easter celebrations. Please note this date on your calendar and plan accordingly.

BEFORE YOU FIX YOUR WEDDING DATE
Thinking about doing your wedding in the Church? Great move! The way to go is to call the parish office and schedule an appointment with the priest at least 12 months before your desired wedding date. It is a requirement in the Catholic Archdiocese of Toronto.
Hoping for the best for you as you process and make this important life-long decision
DID YOU KNOW
| The Holy Spirit doesn’t just comfort us, He transforms us into people who can love beyond our limits? |
|
| St. Francis’ joy and boldness came from a life deeply surrendered to the Spirit, not from personality or talent? |
|
| The Spirit unites people across differences by changing hearts, not erasing diversity? |
