While parking at ground level is limited to 51 spaces, there is plenty of space in the underground parking lot. Please follow the instructions of the attendants. Do not park in front of the Church since this is a fire route and must be kept clear. Additional parking is available on the east side of Elkhorn Public School and in the bus loop. Again, please follow the instructions of the attendant. The school requests that we do not park on the grass. Many thanks to the Principal of Elkhorn Public School for allowing us the use of the school property.
Thank you for your overwhelming support of our Christmas collections for Rosalie Hall and the Society for St. Vincent de Paul. You have brought joy to many families in our city!
“To change the world, we must be good to those who cannot repay us.”

Next Weekend, December 30th/31st
Thank you to the volunteers who prepared casseroles for November. For December your frozen casseroles will be collected after all the Masses next weekend, December 30th/31st for delivery to the Good Shepherd Centre.
The casseroles are easy to make and we have the recipes and casserole pans right here in the Parish Office. The recipes are also available on the Parish website. If you require more information, please contact Irene Albrecht at 416-221-2791.
Ensure no one goes hungry this season
Until year end, your contribution to our parish’s ShareLife campaign will be matched by an anonymous donor up to a total of $500,000.
We all feel it: the rising cost of living is hurting families, forcing many to seek food assistance for the first time. Through our parish’s support, ShareLife is committing over $500,000 to support food banks and meal programs throughout the Archdiocese.
Please support the fight against hunger at sharelife.org/donate or by giving at our parish using a ShareLife envelope. Thank you for living the Gospel!
Offertory envelopes for 2024 are now available in the Gathering Space. On the first few 2024 envelopes, please write your name and complete address so that the office can ensure they have your correct information when sending out 2023 tax receipts.
If there is no box with your name on it and you wish to use envelopes, please advise the parish office either in person, by email or by phone.
You normally would not have an envelope box assigned to you if you are donating via Pre-Authorized Giving or Donate Now via the Archdiocese. However, if you want envelopes, please contact the Parish Office.
To ensure the proper recording for tax receipt purposes, please do not use any envelopes from 2023 or any prior year for any 2024 donations.
Please note: All donations for 2023 must be received in the Parish Office by Sunday, December 31st, 2023 to be included in your 2023 Tax Receipt.
