I want to thank all those responsible for organizing the birthday reception held last Sunday after the 12:30 PM Mass. It was wonderful! It was good to spend time with all those present. I was thrilled to hear “Happy Birthday” sung in six languages: English, French, Italian, Chinese, Indonesian and Filipino. Thanks to those who said a few kind words about me and to the Children’s Choir for their ‘special song’. Thank you for your generosity and may God bless you all. FR. PAUL

For the past few years, Tuesday evenings and Wednesday mornings have been devoted to religious topics decided on by those who wish to participate.

On Tuesday evening, October 2nd at 7:30 PM or if you prefer Wednesday morning, October 3rd at 10:30 AM we will discuss what we wish to study through the fall. If you are interested, please come with your questions, your “puzzlements”, your concerns and your interests about the faith (and sometimes doubts) we share. For further information call Mary Landry at 416-221-8866 ext. 224.
