The Rosary The Rosary is prayed in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament Mass, Tuesday. – Saturday., before Mass.

Prayer for the Synod on the FamilyJesus, Mary and Joseph, in you we contemplate the splendour of true love, to you we turn with trust.

Holy Family of Nazareth, grant that our families too may be places of communion and prayer, authentic schools of the Gospel and small domestic Churches.

Holy Family of Nazareth, may families never again experience violence, rejection and division: may all who have been hurt or scandalized find ready comfort and healing.

Holy Family of Nazareth, may the approaching Synod make us once more mindful of the sacredness and inviolability of the family, and its beauty in “God’s plan.

Jesus, Mary and Joseph, graciously hear our prayer. ~ Amen

Collection for the Needs of the Church in Canada: An Act of Solidarity! The Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops (CCCB) is mandated by the Holy See and the Bishops of Canada to assist dioceses and their Bishops in a number of areas of pastoral life, faith formation, doctrine, ecumenical dialogues, international relations, interreligious conversations, liturgy, relations with Indigenous Peoples, social justice, and building a culture of life and family.

In his letter to the parishes across the country in which he explains the Collection, CCCB President Archbishop Paul-André Durocher of Gatineau points out that this year’s Collection is being held while a number of families from Canada are participating to the World Meeting of Families in Philadelphia, in response to an invitation from Pope Francis. In addition, the General Synod of Bishops on the family will soon begin. “This twofold coincidence reminds us of the importance of families as part of the Church’s mission and as part of the work of the national conference and the regional assemblies. The Church’s commitment to families is one more reason why all the faithful in our country will want to ensure the collection’s success through their generosity and solidarity”, the CCCB President writes.

The Joy of the Gospel Monday, October 21 & 28, November 4 & 11, Friar Edward DeBono, O.F.M. Conv., will present four themes of the Apostolic Exhortation of Pope Francis. ‘The Joy of the Gospel’ (Evangelii Gaudium). These Wednesday evenings in our hall, 7-8 pm, are a blessed opportunity for us and for all to have a bit of time for spiritual nourishment and renewal. Our generous Knights of Columbus have copies of the Joy of the Gospel for you. It is necessary to read the letter before the presentation so that we may receive full benefit from these four evenings.
