THE EPIPHANY OF CHRIST IS A
SHINING LIGHT SET AT THE TURNING
OF THE YEAR TO ILLUMINATE ALL THAT
HAS GONE BEFORE, AND TO GUIDE US
THROUGH THE YEAR AHEAD.
With this Feast of the Epiphany we close our celebration of Christmas and we look forward to a Peaceful New Year.
Sincere thanks to all who helped make this Christmas celebration possible: the Organists and Choir, the Cantors, the Lectors, the Ministers of Hospitality, the Ministers of the Eucharist, the Servers, and to those who decorated the Church so beautifully. Thank you to all those who supported the Toy and Food Drives. You are wonderful people!

ST. VINCENT DE PAUL
The Society of St. Vincent de Paul would like to thank the parishioners, St. Gabriel’s Crafters and families of students at St. Gabriel’s School for their generosity throughout the year, but particularly during the Christmas period. This has enabled us to help many of our neighbours in need, in and around the parish, all of whom are very grateful for your practical thoughtfulness.
CASSEROLES FOR THE GOOD SHEPHERD CENTRE
Thank you to the volunteers who prepared 54 casseroles for December. For January, your prepared casseroles (frozen please) will be collected at the Masses on the weekend of January 27/28 for delivery. More volunteers are encouraged to become active in helping to feed our less fortunate sisters and brothers. If you require more information or would like to a copy of the recipe and a casserole pan, please contact Irene Albrecht at 416-221-2791.
