Lenten Mission (Day 3)

The season of Lent is upon us, and it’s a time of reflection and spiritual growth. We invite you to join us for a Lenten Mission, an event focused on exploring how we can support each other and build strong community ties.

Whether you're looking to deepen your faith, connect with others, or simply learn more about what it takes to thrive as a community, the Lenten Mission is an event you won't want to miss. So mark your calendars and join us for this exciting and meaningful event. Together, we'll explore what it means to be part of a thriving community and discover how we can support each other as we navigate life's challenges.

Our guest speaker will be Fr. Paul Patrick, a dynamic and inspiring spiritual leader who has served in Kiev, Ukraine, Toronto, Ontario, Winnipeg Manitoba, and is currently serving as Pastor of St. Gabriel’s Parish in Burlington, Ontario.

Born and raised in Milton, Fr. Patrick received his degree in mechanical engineering before going to seminary to begin his formation as an Oblate of Mary Immaculate. He began his theological studies at the Oblate School of Theology in San Antonio, TX, and the following year was sent to Rome to study theology at the Pontifical Gregorian University. He completed his studies in theology and professed his final vows there in 2014. 

During his time in Rome and during summer vacations, he was involved in youth ministry in Italy, France and Spain with the local Oblate communities there.

A lover of nature and sports, Fr. Patrick keeps active playing hockey (a member of the Flying Fathers Hockey Club), and enjoys fishing..

We are thrilled to welcome Fr. Paul Patrick to our event, and we know that his message will resonate with all who hear it.

The mission will take place within the context of the daily mass.

Food Drive

Food Drive

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

During Lent, we are called to give alms to those in need. This can take many forms, but one of the most tangible ways to give is through donating food and goods. By donating non-perishable food items, personal hygiene products, and household items, we can help ensure that those in need have basic necessities.

The Good Shepherd is a nonprofit organization that helps those who are experiencing poverty and homelessness. They provide a variety of services, including meals, shelter, and job training, to help people get back on their feet. However, they rely on donations from the community to continue their work.

When participating in a food and goods drive for the Good Shepherd, it is important to keep in mind the items that are most needed. Non-perishable food items such as canned fruits and vegetables, soups, and peanut butter are always in demand. Personal hygiene products like soap, shampoo, toothbrushes, and toothpaste are also needed. Additionally, household items such as toilet paper, paper towels, and cleaning supplies can be a big help to those in need.

By participating in a food and goods drive for the Good Shepherd during Lent, we can help those who are less fortunate while also growing in our own spiritual journey. We are called to be the hands and feet of Jesus in the world, and this is one way to do just that. So, let's come together as a community and make a difference in the lives of those who need it most.

Thank you to the CWL who is partnering with us on this drive!
