If it dies, it bears much fruit

Join our entire faith community (students, alumni, long and short time community members) for our first Lenten Mission! Bishop Lobsinger will guide us deeper into this Lenten season as we approach Holy Week in this special year of St. Joseph called for by our Holy Father Pope Francis.
Still wanting to deepen your Lenten experience? Looking to rekindle your faith after a year of ups and downs?
As disciples of Christ, this is the opportunity we’ve been waiting for, it’s not to be missed! ‘See’ or see you there!

Has the Lord moved your heart? Have you felt the presence of the Holy Spirit in your day-to-day activities? Have you been called to a deeper relationship with God?
There will be an opportunity to acknowledge the Lord’s work in our lives, our desire to follow in a deeper way and receive a special blessing during the Masses on Sunday, March 28.
Two long-time and beloved members of our faith community have been called to their eternal rest.
Please pray that they may rest in the peace of Christ and that their families and friends may be consoled in their faith in Christ.
This week, Deacon Joseph will be doing the Sunday reflection! Find it here!
Our mission continues!  Great thanks to all for your continuing contributions, especially those who have signed up for recurring donations through our website.  We continue to need your support.  For those who prefer to donate through weekly envelopes, these can be dropped off at Mass on Sunday, or to the office trailer mailbox, between 11 am & 4 pm, on Wednesdays or Saturdays.
Each of the faith studies includes a one-on-one meeting near the end of the semester, where each participant meets with their leader to dive deeper into their experience and decide together how they can best move forward in their relationship with God. These one-on-one meetings show the importance of relationships, and that we should not walk the spiritual journey alone. It challenges us to ask who we have walking alongside us, leading us closer to Christ, and whom we can accompany and support along the way.
In collaboration with the CWL, Canadian Martyrs is hosting a food drive to benefit the Good Shepherd Emergency Food Program. On Sunday, March 28, at each of the Masses, we invite you to bring non-perishable food items and personal care items for donation. We will set up an area within the church for you to leave your donations, but if you prefer you may leave them on the front steps.  Thank you for your generosity!
Full disclosure? Seeing the beautiful shelving being installed in the student centre library resulted in a small, audible exclamation of joy. So exciting to see us getting to the finishing stages!
Check out the other pics on our website of the building progress!
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.

Mass of Chrism
His Excellency, Bishop Crosby, will celebrate the Mass of Chrism on Monday, March 29th, 2021 in the Cathedral Basilica of Christ the King, Hamilton. This year, due to COVID capacity limitations and social distancing requirements, attendance at the Chrism Mass will be limited to Priests only. Each year at the Mass of Chrism, the Bishop blesses the Oil of the Sick, and the Oil of Catechumens, and consecrates Sacred Chrism. The blessed and consecrated Oils are taken to the Parishes of the Diocese to be used in the celebration of the Sacraments for the coming year. The Priests serving in the Diocese, together with the Bishop, renew the promises of their Ordination in which they committed themselves to serve this local Church in imitation of Christ the Priest, Prophet and Shepherd. Let us pray for all who minister to God’s holy people in our Diocese – our Bishops, Priests, Deacons, lay leaders, and all God’s holy people.
