Now we’re on the lookout to team up with more enthusiastic volunteers to join Clara and Sr. Mary and keep the ministry going strong. Interested? Drop us a message to learn more! The Mass for the new Catholics of the Diocese took place at the Cathedral Basilica on Saturday April 6. Pictured with Bishop Crosby are our newly received: Anthony, David and Moncif. It was a beautiful and inspiring celebration of faith and community. Thank you to everyone who joined us for the CWL Annual General Meeting! It was a gathering filled with fellowship, reflection, and gratitude for this past year of ministry! This weekend, we will be asking for your feedback! You can complete the survey on-line, or on paper! We look forward to your thoughts! 📖 Curious about Fr. Gregory's insights? Attend Mass this week to hear the rest of the homily and gain a deeper understanding of God’s word. See you at Mass! 🙏   You're invited to join us for a special Coffee Sunday on April 14th following the Grad and Commissioning Mass to celebrate our chaplaincy students! We welcome any donations of baked goods and refreshments! On Friday, April 19, there will be no 12:30 PM Mass, but Adoration and Confession will go on as scheduled. We look forward to seeing you Saturday evening at 5:15 pm!   On Wednesday we savoured our last morning prayer and breakfast for the school year.  Praying and eating in common was a wonderful way to give thanks, and celebrate the way God has been present in the Chaplaincy.   On Tuesday the Student Executive Committee and members of the SLT celebrated a year of fruitful leadership with fellowship, burgers, and ice cream!  Thanks to this year’s Exec! Building a true community isn't just about bricks and mortar—it's about the soul we infuse into it. As Pope John Paul II reminds us, a community needs that special essence, that warmth, that only people can bring.
