2013-04-27Christian Initiation of Adults - runs year round
 One of the lasting fruits of the Second Vatican Council is the restoration of the process of the Christian initiation of adults. The term Christian initiation refers to the celebration of the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist, after a process of formation, prayer and discernment by the individual who feels called to the Catholic Faith and the parish community. The renews Rite if Christian Initiation of Adults has been in use in Canada since 1974, and many have expressed their gratitude for this process which invites the whole community of faith to conversion of heart and to a special ministry assisting those who wish to join us in our Catholic Faith on their journey toward baptism in Christ.
In our parish we have a dedicated team led by Stephen Dulude who work with, accompany, instruct, mentor and support those who are interested in learning more about our faith. The process runs year round, and any one who might be interested in learning more about the process should contact Stephen or any of the RCIA Team members.

  'Discover Christ: developing a personal relationship with Jesus' by Bert Ghezzi and Dave Nodar. This book proposes that we find our identity and purpose in a God who is personal to the core. He did not send just a set of rules or a plan of social action but a person - Jesus Christ. The reader is invited to take a fresh look at what Jesus said and did and what that means personally.

2013-02-03Pennies For Life
 Campaign Life Coalition is very grateful for parishioners' generous support of their ongoing Pennies For Life fundraising initiative. They are requesting that anyone who has been filling a coin container at home, please bring it to church in the next couple of weeks, and leave it in the office (it is expected that most containers will be only partially filled).
Don't forget to take home an empty one, since every nickel of your loose change, can really change the lives of the most vulnerable people among us.
