Advent Bible Study

  • Canadian Martyrs Catholic Church & Chaplaincy (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

As Catholics we are blessed to have a God who graciously feeds and sustains us at the liturgy – at not only one but two tables!  Jesus gives himself to us through the living bread at the Eucharistic table.  But he also feeds us at the table of the Word, where he reveals the love story of God, and invites us to participate with him in the continuation of that story.  Just as we are called to “become what we eat” in the Eucharist, so we are also called to discover our own mission in the living Word of God.

So please join us as we explore the Bible during Advent, specifically looking at the Sunday liturgical texts.  We will chew on the social, literary, and spiritual context of these readings, and how they might nourish us in living the Gospel in our own lives and communities.  We will meet from 10-11am on the four Sundays of Advent (December 1, 8, 15 and 22) in the Papal Suite of the Saint Kateri Student Centre.  Please bring a Bible if you have one. 

So come and ignite your passion for the living Word!  Everyone is welcome.

Mary's Baby Shower: A Heartfelt Tradition of Giving

Mary's Baby Shower: A Heartfelt Tradition of Giving

  • Canadian Martyrs Catholic Church & Chaplaincy (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

The spirit of giving and community at Canadian Martyr & McMaster's Saint Kateri University Student Centre is once again shining bright as we gear up for a heartwarming event – Mary's Baby Shower. This cherished tradition, rooted in compassion and the Catholic faith, has been a beacon of support for young mothers in need.

Back in 2019, some of our students from the chaplaincy joined hands to create a special initiative. They lovingly crafted baby items to donate to mothers in need, inspired by the life of Our Lady, who, as a young mother, had very little but a heart full of love. Just like the Holy Family, who sought refuge in a foreign land, these young mothers too face unique challenges and are in need of our help and support.

Rikka, former McMaster Chaplaincy leader, talks about the genesis of Mary’s Baby Shower.

The students, drawing inspiration from this powerful connection, decided to launch “Mary's Baby Shower.” This heartwarming donation drive is an invitation to the community to contribute much-needed baby items for young mothers who have courageously chosen to give birth despite the pressures to choose otherwise.

At all the Masses on the weekend of December 8th, we invite you to participate in Mary's Baby Shower. We will accept items throughout the week, however. Please bring items such as diapers, wipes, onesies, bibs, and other necessities, along with new infant outfits – all of which will be cherished by these young mothers. Let's remember that every little contribution is a step towards making a difference in their lives.

We kindly request that food items be excluded from the donations. Instead, we ask for your generous support to make 'Mary's Baby Shower' a resounding success. All the items collected will be given to Regina’s Place, a program run by Good Shepherd Ministries.

  • ✔ baby wipes

    ✔ diapers (size 4-6)

    ✔ any hygiene supplies (e.g., shampoo, body wash, etc.) for adults or children/babies

    ✔ pencil crayons, markers, pens, small notebooks

    ✔ laundry soap, fabric softener sheets

    ✔ craft supplies, e.g., glue sticks, stickers, etc.

    ✔ bibs

    ✔ face cloths

    ✔ receiving blankets

As we approach this beautiful season of giving, let's come together as a community to support and uplift those in need, following the example of Our Lady and the Holy Family. Your contributions will make a world of difference in the lives of young mothers and their precious little ones.

Prayer for Victims of Abuse

Praise to you, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
source of all consolation and hope.
By your Sons’s dying and rising
he remains our light in every darkness,
our strength and every weakness. Be the refuge and guardian
of all who suffered from abuse and violence.
Comfort them and send them healing
for their wounds of body, mind, and spirit.
Rescue them from bitterness and shame
and refresh them with your love.
Heal the brokeness in all victims of abuse
and revive the spirits of all who lament this sin.
Help us to follow Jesus
in drawing good from evil, life from death.
Make us one with you in your love for justice
as we deepen our respect
for the dignity of every human life.
Giver of peace, make us one
in celebrating your praise,
both now and forever. Amen.
