Due to COVID-19, we have not been able to have our Memorial Mass on Saturdays. The best option appears to be that we list all the names, together with their scheduled dates, for the month of April. They will be remembered Saturday, June 27, during our 4 pm Mass. This Mass will be available on the Internet on Sunday, June 28 any time after 9 am.

April 4 – Murray McGowan; Billy Dowd & DMF; Star Kathleen Wilson & DMF; George O’Brien; Charles H. & Lauretta Moyer; Tom Judge; Baby Thomas Gauthier

April 18 – Louis Murphy (A); Jeanie Melanson; Roger Embree; Rose McLaughlin; Leo McKenzie

April 25 – Emma Bogers (A); Pierrette Higgins; Peter & Josie Forestell

The Invitations for all Masses this weekend have been sent out. Please check your spam folder so you don’t miss anything from us.

Reminder: Due to the province’s requirement that we keep records of those attending Mass, Registration to attend Mass is still required.

Here is the prayer card for tonight’s Novena.

Supposedly, this ad once ran in a newspaper: “For quick sale, one new set of encyclopedias. Reason for sale? Have two teenage children who know everything!”

As children answer God’s call into adulthood they often test the lessons and truths they receive from their parents. Sometimes it seems that anyone else is right but their parents! But with the responsibilities of adulthood, and starting a new family of their own, wisdom starts to emerge. Maybe Dad and Mom were right about all those things after all!

It’s also the same process with faith. In childhood God was the explanation for everything. In adolescence and early adulthood God often ends up to be very distant and on the fringes. Sometimes He is pushed so far to the fringe He never finds a way back! Our fathers are at their best when they model their parenting on God the Father – creative and nurturing, protective and providing, forgiving and encouraging. 

Today we thank the Father of us all for the fathers and grandfathers and other men He gave us and placed in our lives as parents and guardians. We ask God to help us to be gentle with them as they grow older and ask God to embrace the ones who have left us and be good to them. We thank them and pray for them on this Father’s Day!

Join us for online Mass at 9 am every Sunday. Mass will continue to be available throughout the day here on our website and on our YouTube and Facebook pages.
