MASS INTENTIONS

Please remember to offer Masses for your special intentions; especially your departed loved ones. Also, please pray for vocations to the priesthood and religious life in Canada.

We need to be close to Jesus Christ in his Eucharistic Sacrifice.

If you would like a Mass said, please see Father Joe.

Did you know that Pope John Paul II declared this year as the year of the Rosary?

To pray the Rosary is a way to be with Jesus and Mary.  We are meditating on their life from the Gospels.

You are invited to join us Tuesday-Friday 8:40 a.m. all year to recite the Rosary.

TEACHING SCRIPTURE TO OUR CHILDREN

“Here, O Israel! The LORD is our God, the LORD alone…” This passage, see Dueteronomy 6:4-9, provides the central theme of Deuteronomy. It sets a pattern that helps us relate the Word of God to our daily lives. We are to love God, think constantly about his commandments to our children, and live each day by the guidelines in his Word. God emphaisized the importance of parents’ teaching the Bible to their children. The church and Christian Schools cannot be used to escape from this responsibility. Eternal truths are most effectively learned in the loving environment of a God-fearing home.
