Growing in Holiness During Lent (Friday, in-person)
The Holy Spirit is in each one of us, our personal connection with God, given to us as free gift to help us grow and become the fullness of who God has created us to be.
Over this Lenten season we invite members of our faith community to join with others in a 6-week small group setting for reflection and conversation on “Growing in Holiness during Lent” through deepening our relationship with the Holy Spirit in our daily lives.
Adoration
Lent is a significant time for Eucharistic Adoration as it is a season of reflection, penance, and spiritual renewal. During this time, we can take a moment to contemplate the mystery of Christ's sacrifice and deepen our love and devotion for Him present in the Eucharist. Through Adoration, we can seek forgiveness and receive strength to live a more virtuous life, making a spiritual journey to Easter with joy and hope.

Food Drive
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!

Updates in Euthanasia: Important Issues for Catholics to Know
The Canadian Martyrs Catholic Women's League (CWL) is proud to host an upcoming dinner and speaker event on the important and often controversial topic of Euthanasia. As one of the most pressing issues of our time, we believe that it is essential to explore and discuss this topic in a thoughtful and compassionate way.
All parishioners (and their guests) are welcome to this no-fee event!
Our dinner and speaker event will take place on March 4th, 2023, in Newman Hall here at Canadian Martyrs. We are honoured to have invited Dr. Moira McQueen, Director of the Canadian Catholic Bioethics Institute, to speak. The Institute, chaired by Cardinal Collins, has a mandate to conduct research and education in bioethics from a Roman Catholic perspective and pursues bioethical issues in palliative and end-of-life care and other current areas.
The evening will begin with a delicious dinner, homemade by the CWL. During her keynote address, Dr. McQueen will share her insights and expertise on the subject of Euthanasia, and provide a framework for understanding the complexities of this issue. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions and engage in a thought-provoking conversation with Dr. McQueen.
We encourage you to RSVP in advance to ensure that you have a spot at this important event. We look forward to seeing you on March 4th for what promises to be an engaging and informative evening.
