Registration for the Winter 2021 Alpha is now open!
Wednesdays, January 27 to March 31
Time: 7:00 am - 8:30 pm
Ever wondered if there is more to life than this?
Probably most everyone has, perhaps now more than ever. Alpha is a great way to get together in a friendly, open, non-judgmental forum, for conversation with others who also have questions, just like you!
If you’ve been through Alpha before, you’ll know what an engaging and insightful experience it can be. There’s nothing stopping you from coming again to another session, but this time, bring someone else along! Invite a neighbour, family member, classmate or friend! People of all faiths (or no faith!) are welcome to come to Alpha: Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, Jewish, atheist or agnostic!
Alpha will be online via Zoom. And if you’re not that familiar with Zoom, we can help you with that too!
I mean… where else have you got to be these days?

Did you get a chance to watch Fr. Markus' Sunday Reflection last week?
We will have another one for you tomorrow! |
|
|
Join our community in visiting other parish communities, virtually!
So much good is happening throughout the church in this time of need and so we will be offering live-stream feeds and websites from other parishes throughout this time of lockdown, in addition to Fr. Markus' Sunday Reflection. Join us in finding the Lord in so many places, until we can come to our spiritual home again!
Why not catch the Sunday Mass from St. Patrick's in Vancouver, BC?

|
|
Or check out Mass from Church Nativity in Baltimore, MD?
|
|
|
Also, Mass from the Cathedral Basilica will be televised on Cable 14 at 2:00 p.m. on Sundays.

As classes start this week, our student leaders are taking the initiative to invite friends and other contacts to join a Faith Study. Equipped with tools from Catholic Christian Outreach (CCO) and the Holy Spirit, they are taking on this online mission ground to proclaim the Gospel and invite others into a relationship with Jesus. Please keep the leaders and everyone they are reaching out to in your prayers.
All students are encouraged to join a Faith Study—the backbone of our ministry. Visit ccofaithstudies.ca to sign up.

The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity is an annual ecumenical celebration. Christians around the world are invited to pray for the unity of all Christians, to reflect on scripture together, to participate in jointly-organized ecumenical services, and to share fellowship.
You can use the resources not only during the Week of Prayer itself, but throughout the year. Let them help you express the degree of communion already given to the churches, and to pray together that we may be more fully united in the one Christ.

PARENTING TIP OF THE MONTH - Parenting Tip 126: Children love to read the same book repeatedly, eat the same lunch every day and they do best, in fact thrive, on a daily routine. The predictable makes children feel secure and competent because they know what to expect. With little children, routines for mealtimes, bed and bath times, prayer time and even playtime, can be a great comfort, making for happier children. This same wellness from routines also works for older children. The more routine in their lives, the more relaxed and happy their personality. So, start the New Year by creating a schedule for all family members, try it out and see how much peace can come to your household! (Family Ministry Office thartnett@hamiltondiocese.com).

What you're looking at here is the opening to the new build from the church. You're "standing" at the entrance to the church hall looking up. That open space to the left of the construction pylon used to be the bathroom. It now leads into the reception area! Check out the other pics on our website of the building progress!
