“Let us not underestimate the power of so many voices united in prayer” - Pope Francis.

CATECHISM OF THE GOOD SHEPHERD ‘The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd (CGS) is a Montessori-based religious formation program for children, beginning at the age of three. It seeks to create and facilitate a sacred, "hands-on" space for children in which both the children and the catechist can hear, ponder and celebrate the most essential mysteries of the Christian faith as revealed in the scriptures and the liturgy.’

We are presently looking for a few volunteers who would be interested in working as leaders to run the program here at Holy Name of Mary parish. This is a large commitment of time, especially at the beginning, but will be one of the most rewarding spiritual and personal times of growth that you will experience. There is a CGS course for leaders starting July 9 and runs until July 14 from 8:30 am to 5:00 pm in Ottawa.

If you are interested in this opportunity to help our children grow in their knowledge and love of Christ, please speak to Cheryl Martin (phone # 613-407-0257; email cherylkeefmartin@gmail.com) or Fr. Paul, or visit our website for more information.

SUNDAY MORNING SMILE A man was driving his sports car down

highway 100 at 100kms an hour. A policeman

pulls him over and asked, “Didn’t you see

the speed limit sign back there?” “Yes, sir, I

did. It said 100km per hour.” The officer

sighed and said, “Oh, brother, I’m glad I

caught you before you got on the 417!”

KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS NEWS

The Knights of Columbus Dr. J.F. Dunn Council 5153 recently made financial donations, during our “Annual Ham n’ Bean Dinner” on Sunday April 22 at St. Mary’s Church Hall:

We made a donation in support of three students from Notre Dame Catholic High School to spend a week in Sandy Lake First Nations Reserve in Northern Ontario. These students will be billeted with First Nations families to experience the lives and challenges facing the population of this northern community.

We also made a donation to the Jarous family whom the Council has consistently supported since their arrival from Syria to Canada. This contribution was to further assist the Jarous family in getting established in our community.

These financial donations to locally based people in need and non-profit organizations in our community are a primary objective of our Council and are made possible by your support as Parishioners for our fundraising initiatives. Your continued attendance and support of our Sunday breakfasts and dinner events etc. make this all possible. Thank you.
