“…you have been anointed with oil, and by this anointing you have entered into fellowship with Christ and have received a share in his life. Beware of thinking of the chrism as merely ordinary oil. As the eucharistic bread after the invocation of the Holy Spirit is no longer ordinary bread but the body of Christ, so also the oil after the invocation is no longer plain ordinary oil but Christ’s gift by which the presence of his divinity becomes the instrument through which you receive the Holy Spirit.” St. Cyril of Jerusalem, 4th Century, from A Word in Season, 1981.

We rejoice with our parishioners, who are anointed with the seven-fold Gift of the Holy Spirit through the Sacrament of Confirmation this Sunday:

Amanda, Ariana, Bianca, Caleigh, Eric, Fiora, Hailey, Jaylen, Jennel, Juliette,

Liam, Madeleine, Madelyn, Mia, Michaela, Rebecca, and Tulin.

We also honour Ava Marie and Hannah, who were confirmed at Baptism: may they continue to experience the fullness of life in the Holy Spirit.

Prayer for the Ukraine

prepared by the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops

God of peace and justice,

We pray for the people of Ukraine today.

We pray for peace and the laying down of weapons.

We pray for all those who fear for tomorrow,

that your Spirit of comfort would draw near to them.

We pray for those with power over war or peace,

for wisdom, discernment and compassion to guide their decisions.

Above all, we pray for all your precious children, at-risk and in fear,

that you would hold and protect them.

We pray in the name of Jesus, the Prince of Peace.

Amen

The Society of St. Vincent de Paul

When we give to the poor, God indeed pours his love, peace and joy into our hearts, into our lives and into the hearts of those who are poor.

A Member of Parliament recently remarked, “Inflation is theft of the poor.”  In other words, inflation hurts the least affluent among us the most:  for instance, those on low fixed incomes and those whose employment is casual and part time.  As we all cope with the inconvenience and even hardship of the rising cost of just about everything, please remember the less fortunate who struggle to pay their rent and utilities, as well as buy nutritious food for themselves and their families.

Thank you to our loyal benefactors who have continued their donations throughout the pandemic; to those parishioners who contributed clothing and footwear during our recent Bundle Weekend; and to all who remember our Poor Boxes.  Every donation allows Vincentians to assist our neighbours in need with grocery gift cards.

Our confidential helpline is: 416-447-5571 ext. 570 for those who need assistance. Thank you!
Online donations can be made securely through the following link:
