Sunday Missals

Reminder: Due to COVID-19 we will NOT be selling 2020-2021 Sunday Missals in the church this year. We have ordered a LIMITED number of copies which will be available shortly. The cost remains at $5 per copy, which will need to be paid in advance. To reserve your copy, please use the form located HERE. If you know someone without internet access who uses an annual missal, please encourage them to call the parish office (653-6830) soon. Once our initial order is spoken for, we will not be ordering additional copies.

Ushers

We still need additional ushers to assist us with the important responsibility of ensuring that we all safely comply with the province’s social distancing requirements. Ushers also aid in the orderly flow of people entering the church. If you feel you can help Msgr. Henneberry in this ministry, please email the parish office: holyredeemersj@gmail.com

Introduction – Prayers Of The Faithful

Most people have a favourite song. It might remind them of someone or some great event in their lives. Or is might just sum up a time when days were more carefree. Christians have a lot of favourite songs. We call them “Hymns”. While contemporary numbers are the ones we hear most often occasionally an old hymn gets some play. One of the oldest hymns is part of the second reading. It recounts and celebrates how Jesus, who was divine, did not use this as a reason to feel or act “entitled”. Rather, out of humility and His love for us He let go of everything He might have had for Himself. In doing that He met our greatest fear, death, and conquered it! This hymn can celebrate the life of every one of us who follows Jesus faithfully because for faithful people life is “changed” not ended!
