Congratulations to Nancy and Mike Gravina who gathered with their family for Mass and a special blessing, on the occasion of their 60th wedding anniversary.
We offer our deepest sympathy to the family and friends of Marjorie Wilkinson following her passing from this life. Eternal rest grant unto her O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon her. May she rest in peace.
We are very excited to announce the inaugural edition of our new quarterly newsletter Gloria Dei!⁠
You've likely already received your copy in the mail, but if you haven't and you'd like one or you received the digital version and you'd like a hardcopy, drop us a line letting us know, and we'll get one in the mail to you!!⁠

 
━ Ask Yourself... 
Perhaps the better question is, does it affect your faith?
The progress on this build is really picking up steam!⁠

It might be like an iceberg from here on out. You can see a little bit of what's happening, but the real progress is taking place under the surface. Can't wait to see how much progress is made in Fr. Markus' next interior tour!⁠

One Heart, One Soul Campaign comes to Canadian Martyrs
The Diocese of Hamilton’s One Heart, One Soul Campaign has raised more than $15 million so far, with most of it benefitting parishes and the projects of their choosing. Our One Heart, One Soul Campaign kickoff is just a week away! At next weekend’s Masses, Father will speak about the campaign, show the beautiful campaign video, and you’ll hear more about our projects. Here is one of the Frequently Asked Questions about the campaign. For the full list of FAQs and much more about the campaign, visit www.oneheartonesoul.ca.
 
Q. Why are we doing the campaign? With the virus, shouldn’t we be focused on other priorities?

A. From the beginning, this campaign has been primarily about strengthening our parishes. Because of the pandemic, our parishes have even greater needs than when we started. Because the campaign is in place, we are in a better position than almost any diocese in North America to help our parishes recover from the blows suffered from COVID-19. The campaign offers parishes the opportunity to better fulfill their missions. There is no greater priority than that.

“Seek the Lord while he may be found…” While searching, listen; could it be that you are being called to serve as a priest? If God is calling you, contact Fr. Michael King, Vocation Director, Diocese of Hamilton at 905-528-7988 or vocations@hamiltondiocese.com.  

If you would like to have a Mass celebrated for a special occasion, on behalf of a family member, a friend, or a deceased loved one, please call the office to have that intention put into the calendar.
