Lenten Revitalization Series
The Diocese will be offering a Revitalization Series for Lent on Tuesday evenings following the 5:30 pm Mass at the Cathedral. Adoration will take place between noon and 5:30 pm. Adoration occurs again from 6:00 pm – 9:00 pm when priests will be available to celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation. The diocesan rosary, which takes place at 7:00 pm on Tuesdays via Facebook, will be streamed from the Cathedral, followed by a teaching on the theme of prayer. Quiet reflection with intermittent worship will take place throughout.
Retreat
Companions of the Cross School of Evangelization will take place on March 19 and is open to anyone who wants to share their Christian faith with others. The talks will teach you what the Gospel is and give you ways to share it.

Ash Wednesday
Lent begins on March 2. Mass will be celebrated at 9 am & 7 pm with the distribution of ashes. Mass will be available online at 4 pm for those unable to join us in person.
Cereal Drive
Reminder: We invite you to contribute to the Our Daily Bread Cereal Drive in memory of Maggie Nugent, one of our former Religious Education students. Contributions assist the breakfast program at St. Francis-Hazen White School. Cereal can be brought with you to Mass until this Sunday, February 27, and left near the Baptism font at the front of the church. The students have always been grateful for your very generous response over the years.
Tax Receipts
All 2021 tax receipts have been mailed. If you have not received yours, it should arrive early next week. For those who donated via Canada Helps, please remember that they issue the tax receipts for your donations, so they will not be included in the tax receipt that you receive from the parish. We thank everyone for their generosity over the past year.
Palms
Reminder: You may bring your old palms with you to Mass this weekend; they will be burned and used for Ash Wednesday. Containers are available at all entrances.
Indigenous Reconciliation Fund Collection
Reminder: A special collection for the Indigenous Reconciliation Fund will take place this weekend, February 26 & 27. Envelopes for this collection are now available at all entrances of the church.
