PARISH SUPPORT

Dear Parishioners,

I hope and pray that you are staying healthy - both physically and spiritually. Please let me know if the parish can help during these difficult times.

No doubt you are aware that our parish relies on the support of our parishioners to operate - parish salaries, programs and ongoing operating costs (heating, water, electricity etc.) - are funded through the generosity of our parish community. It will be a challenge for our parish to maintain operations without the weekly offertory collection.

If you wish to continue supporting the parish financially , you can drop your envelope at the parish office or mail it to us. For more ways to give you can go to the Archdiocesan website at www.archtoronto.org/covid19. The go to Support Your Parish.

Through the website you can contribute to the parish offertory by credit card, you can download a form for pre-authorized giving, (or you can pick a form up at each entrance of the church). Or you can contribute via online banking, to do this you need to send a email to campaign@archtoronto.org

Name
Address
Parish Name
Municipality.

You will be emailed account information which can be used to set up the Archdiocese of Toronto as a payee in your on-line banking. Rest-assured your gift will be forwarded to your parish. You can make a one time or recurring gift to our offertory.

If you have any questions regarding the above you can call the Development Office at 416 934 3411 Ext 540.

Thank you for your many contribution to our parish community. I miss seeing all of you at the Mass and I pray daily that we will be able to gather again soon.

Yours in Christ

Fr. Gerard Pilon

May 27 Meditation

Meditation: Do you know why God created you - what purpose and mission he has entrusted to you? Jesus' aim and mission was to glorify his heavenly Father. All he said and did gave glory to his Father. On the eve of his sacrifice on the cross and in the presence of his disciples, Jesus made his high priestly prayer: "Holy Father, keep them in your name that they may be one as we are one". Jesus prayed for the unity of his disciples and for all who would believe in him. Jesus' prayer for his people is that we be united with God the Father in his Son and through his Holy Spirit and be joined together, in unity with all who are members of Christ's body.

May 28 Meditation

Meditation: When you pray what do you ask for - God's help, blessing, guidance, and wisdom? One of the greatest privileges and responsibilities we have been given by God is to pray not only for ourselves, but for others as well. The Lord Jesus lived a life full of prayer, blessing, and gratitude to his Father in heaven. He prayed for his disciples, especially when they were in great need or danger. Mark tells us in his Gospel account (see chapter 6:46-51) that when Jesus was praying alone on the mountain he saw that his disciples were in great distress due to a life-threatening storm that was beating against their boat. Jesus immediately came to their rescue - walking on the waves of the rough waters before he calmed their fears and calmed the raging waters as well! Luke records in his Gospel account the words of Jesus to Simon Peter shortly before Jesus' arrest and Peter's denial of the Lord three times. "Simon, Simon, behold, Satan demanded to have you, that he might sift you like wheat, but I have prayed for you, Simon, that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers" (Luke 22:32). Jesus' prayers were personal, direct, and focused on the welfare and well-being of others - especially that they might find peace and unity with God and with one another.
