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

Do you want to know the mind and thoughts of God? Jesus thanks the Father in heaven for revealing to his disciples the wisdom and knowledge of God. What does Jesus' prayer tell us about God and about ourselves? First, it tells us that God is both Father and Lord of earth as well as heaven. He is both Creator and Author of all that he has made, the first origin of everything and transcendent authority, and at the same time he shows loving care and goodness toward all his children. All fatherhood and motherhood is derived from him (Ephesians 3:14-15).

What does the yoke of Jesus refer to in the Gospel? The Jews used the image of a yoke to express submission to God. They spoke of the yoke of the law, the yoke of the commandments, the yoke of the kingdom, and the yoke of God. Jesus says his yoke is "easy". The Greek word for "easy" can also mean "well-fitting". Yokes were tailor-made to fit the oxen well. Oxen were yoked two by two. Jesus invites us to be yoked with him, to unite our life with his life, our will with his will, and our heart with his heart. To be yoked with Jesus is to be united with him in a relationship of love, trust, and obedience.

What does the commandment "keep holy the Sabbath" require of us? Or better yet, what is the primary intention behind this command? The religious leaders confronted Jesus on this issue. The "Sabbath rest" was meant to be a time to remember and celebrate God's goodness and the goodness of his work, both in creation and redemption. It was a day set apart for the praise of God, his work of creation, and his saving actions on our behalf. It was intended to bring everyday work to a halt and to provide needed rest and refreshment.
