Pentacost Sunday Message

Come Holy Spirit, Come! 

This Sunday, we celebrate Pentecost, and with evening prayer (Vespers) on Sunday, we will end the Easter Season and begin Ordinary Time. I would like to invite all of you to join me for Mass on Sunday at 10:00 a.m., as we celebrate the birth of the Church. 

This week, in the Parish Bulletin, you will find a section dedicated to the Holy Spirit – The Gifts and Fruits of the Holy Spirit and how we can be transformed by the workings of the Holy Spirit, in our lives. May we  grow in Wisdom, Knowledge, Understanding, Counsel, Piety, Fortitude, and Fear of the Lord.

Pope Francis to pray the rosary with the Shrines of the world this Saturday at 12:30 p.m. (Toronto time)

The Pontifical Council for Promoting the New Evangelization announces that Pope Francis is to join Marian shrines across the world, to pray to the Virgin Mary for help amidst the pandemic. The Pope will once again be close to humanity in prayer, to ask the Virgin Mary for help amid the pandemic. The prayer will be broadcast live to the world from the Grotto of Lourdes in the Vatican Gardens at 5:30 p.m., Rome time.  The largest sanctuaries of the five continents will be connected online. These include Lourdes, Fatima, Lujan, Milagro, Guadalupe, San Giovanni Rotondo and Pompeii. You may join this event following this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-RFWoMT574&feature=emb_title
