FROM THE PASTOR'S DESK

Christmas Liturgies

A big thanks to everyone who contributed to making our

holiday liturgies as wonderful as they were this year. From

a busy 5 PM Christmas Eve Mass to our final celebrations

on the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God the talents and

generosity of our community shone brightly.

On behalf of myself, Fr. Malone, and our seminarian-

intern Patrick, please accept my gratitude for the many

kind gifts and cards we received over the course of the

Christmas holiday. These were greatly appreciated, and

made our celebration of the season even happier.

With the coming of the New Year, many are making

resolutions and plans for the months to come. Consider

finding some time this year to volunteer in one of our

many parish groups and ministries. Our new Volunteer

Recruitment Tool is available on the welcome desk to help

make the process quick and easy.

DIOCESAN PRAYER CALENDAR

This week we especially pray for:

Monday Reverend Stipe Renic, O.F.M.

Tuesday Reverend Peter Watters

Wednesday Felician Franciscan Sisters (C.S.S.F.)

Thursday Reverend Ilija Petkovic

Friday Reverend Monsignor Ivan Vuksic

Saturday Reverend Michael Vanderbeek, L.C.

Eternal Father, we lift up to you these and all the priests,

religious and lay ministers of the world. Sanctify them.

Heal them; guide them. Mold them into the likeness and

holiness of your Son, Jesus, the Eternal High Priest. May

their lives be pleasing to You. In Jesus’ name we pray.

Amen.

“On entering the house, they saw the

child with Mary his mother; and they

knelt down and paid him homage.

Then, opening their treasure chests,

they offered him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.”

God asks us to give our lives. What treasures have been

given to you to share with others in Christ’s name? If you

think God is calling you to be a priest, contact Father

Michael King, Director of Vocations and Priestly

Formation, Diocese of Hamilton at 905-528-7988 or email

mking@hamiltondiocese.com.
