The Christian Jewish Dialogue of Toronto is again sponsoring the Walking in God’s Path Series this year. The series seeks to stimulate real conversation between Jewish and Christian congregations. As in last year, St. Gabriel’s will be one of the participating institutions. The themes to be explored this year are:
How Jews and Christians Perceive Jesus March 4th at 7:30 PM St. Phillip the Apostle Anglican Church 201 Caribou Road (Bathurst & Lawrence)
March 11th at 7:30 PM Beth Tzedec Congregation 1700 Bathurst Street (south of Eglinton)
Closing Event: Where are We Going and How Do We Get There March 18th at 7:30 PM Beth Tzedec Congregation
The closing program will feature a panel discussion between Fr. Paul McGill, retired Anglican Archbishop, Terrence Finlay and Rabbi Erwin Schild, to be moderated by Mr. Frank Faulke, producer of the CBC Series, Tapestry. These meetings will allow us to further explore the Jewish roots of our Christian faith. It will also offer a good opportunity, for those interested, to meet some of our Jewish friends and to visit different synagogues.
As a partner institution, St. Gabriel’s will be hosting the first meeting of the series. The focus, very appropriately for our parish, will be on ecological justice. The discussion will be lead by Father Paul, our pastor.
For further information on this series of events, please contact Fatima Lee at 416-221-8866.

The theme of the 2009 ShareLife campaign truly reflects the power the Catholic community has to make a meaningful difference in society. Wonders happen daily at ShareLife agencies, as troubled, needy and vulnerable people in our midst receive effective, compassionate care. This year, make a contribution to the ShareLife campaign to assist over 225,000 people in need.
“It’s very appropriate that ShareLife should be emphasized during lent, a time when we think of what’s most important in our lives. Action in the service of others is at the very heart of it and that’s the point of ShareLife; it’s really the Share Life with others.” Most Rev. Thomas Collins, Archbishop of Toronto
ShareLife Sunday – March 29th, 2009 With your help, we can work wonders!
