WHAT’S HAPPENING
UPCOMING EVENTS
Revelation 21:2-3 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.
Happy and blessed birthday Fr. Cornelius!

There will be No Mass on November 11th due to Remembrance Day. God bless all those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice for us to live in freedom in Canada.
We need your help: This year, we are unable to have our annual Fall Supper, a major fund raiser for our church. We appreciate your support over the past many years, helping with time and labour, donating cash to buy the food and supplies needed to enable the suppers to become a reality, then buying the tickets to enjoy the delicious meal. This provided a tremendous benefit for our church. This year we are asking people, if they are able, to make a financial contribution to replace the Funds, previously raised by the supper. Please contribute what you can. Drop your Donation in the collection basket, with your number on the envelope. It will be eligible as a Tax deduction. Thank “You” for always being there to support our Church and our Parish. Your Support, Dedication and Faith is greatly appreciated. God Bless You.

This peaceful hour offers a wonderful opportunity to prepare our hearts for the upcoming Advent Season and to welcome the Lord, Emmanuel, “God with us.” We invite you to spend this mostly silent time in reflection, gazing upon and listening to the Word that our Eucharistic Lord has for each of us. The Adoration will take place in the Bishop Rogers’ chapel at the Basilica of Saint Michael the Archangel.

This Prayer has been forwarded to us by a Development & Peace committee member and we ask you to pray for our brothers and sisters in Ukraine:
Our Father
Our Father who art in the life of all humans who seek justice because they love their brothers and sisters and because they are your servants.
Hallowed be thy name by all those who stand up for the life of the poor and the humble, who have faith and hope in you, who fight for the respect of their dignity.
Thy kingdom come, thy reign which is freedom and love, brotherhood and justice, right and truth.
Thy will be done, you who are freedom for the prisoners, appeasement for the afflicted, strength for the tortured, liberation and life for those who suffer from violence.
Give us this day our daily bread, the bread of equality and joy, the bread of our word and education, the bread of land and shelter, the bread of food and medical assistance.
Forgive us for not knowing how to share the bread that you give us, forgive our lack of faith and courage, when out of fear, we keep silent.
And lead us not into temptation that makes us conform to the powerful of this world, and that makes us believe that we are powerless to change anything.
But deliver us from the evil within ourselves who invites us to keep our life for ourselves when you invite us to give it. Amen
- Julia Esquivel, Guatemala
Spiritual Act of Communion Prayer
My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.
I love you above all things and I desire to receive you in my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment receive you sacramentally,
Come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace you as if you
were already there and unite myself wholly to you.
Never permit me to be separated from you.
Amen
