To all our “beloved” of St. Philip Neri Parish, 

May the grace and peace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all …. I thank my God every time I remember you, praying with joy in my prayers for you … Fr. Mike

“Do not grieve over the temptations you suffer. When the Lord intends to bestow a particular virtue on us, he permits us to first to be tempted by the opposite vice. Therefore, look upon every temptation as an invitation to grow in a particular virtue … and a promise by God that you will be successful … if only you stand fast”. - St. Philip Neri

These are the wise – and encouraging – words of the patron of our Parish. It seems that he has a realistic and experiential grasp of life. Nothing comes easy! To be successful in any venture, takes focus and effort, determination, and perseverance. But - as St. Philip ends his words of encouragement … “if only you stand fast”!

These past weeks, we, the parishioners of St. Philip Neri Parish have been invited to respond to the many ministries in the Parish. To have a successful and unified Parish, it takes the generous hands and hearts of many people. The temptation is to leave it to someone else – as we feel we are too busy and over-committed already. However, our first self-judgment ought to be, “I do have time and talents and treasures; I am a “gift” to this Parish Family”. Please remember: There is a place for everyone, and everyone has a place … in this family.

Please note: There are two special “moments” during the Eucharistic celebration when we need your generous presence - to carry in the Cross in the Opening Procession, and to bring up the Eucharistic gifts (bread – wine – water, and the collection) at the Offertory.

Fr. Mike’s invitation and expectation - that each family takes this opportunity to share yourselves – your blessings to the Parish Family. The ushers or welcomers will explain to you what needs to be done, and when. Please don’t wait to be asked or cajoled. This is a wonderful opportunity for you, and your family, to actively participate in our Eucharistic celebration. This is also a special time for you to share these services with your children and grandchildren. I believe this is what St. Philip Neri meant when he said, “if only you stand fast”!

Once again, I say a big and hearty THANK YOU for all who have already responded to the Liturgical and Pastoral Ministries. We will gather the participants of each ministry soon – to meet and greet each other and to learn what is expected of each ministry. God is good … all the time.

Wherever you go, go with God. Whenever you go, make a difference.

Praise be Jesus Christ … and Mary Immaculate.

St. Philip Neri ... pray for us.

St. Eugene de Mazenod ... pray for us.

St. Kateri Tekakwitha ... pray for us.

Fr. Mike

A Prayer for Ukraine

God of peace and justice, we pray for the people of Ukraine today. We pray for peace and the laying down of weapons. We pray for all those who fear for tomorrow, that your spirit of comfort would draw near to them. We pray for those with power over war or peace, for wisdom, discernment and compassion to guide their decisions. Above all, we pray for all your precious children at risk and in fear that you would hold and protect them. We pray in the name of Jesus the Prince of Peace. Amen.

Hi Everyone!

Not only did we have a GREAT summer as far as weather goes, but we are now also being blessed with a phenomenal fall as well!  God is good!  As we flip the calendar over to the month of October, our daytime temperatures continue to be well above normal, which makes spending time outdoors SO enjoyable.  The leaves are now starting to turn those gorgeous shades of yellow, orange and red, and when you add sunshine, blue skies, and warm temperatures, we have everything needed for some gorgeous, awe-inspiring fall walks and drives!

Okay, let's get down to the business of some important new items for you as well as a few reminders.  The first thing that's new is that I have now divided the Newsletter items into two categories - What's Happening in our Parish, and What's Happening in our Diocese - hopefully to help make it easier for you to find the items you might be looking for!

Have a wonderful weekend, and week ahead, everyone!  We hope you were able to participate in or spend some time reflecting on the importance of uniting with our Indigenous sisters and brothers on National Truth and Reconciliation Day.  It was awesome to see so many orange shirts everywhere and so many meaningful celebrations occuring all over our great city and province. 

Enjoy the sunshine and these ongoing glorious fall temperatures! Oh - and Go Riders!  We are back on the grid-iron this weekend and our green & white team will need our cheering - and our prayers - as they go head to head with those Blue Bombers - again!  Go Riders Go!  Talk to you next week!      

Fabulour Fall Blessings,

St. Philip Neri Parish Pictorial Directory - UPDATE!

Photo Sittings: Nov. 14 - 23

• Do you ever see people in church and wonder what their names are?  
• Do you know the names of people outside your age group?  
• Have you ever heard an announcement in church regarding a parishioner and you couldn't put a face to the name?
• Are you new to the church and wish you had something to help you get to know people and their names?  

Note:  If you have already had your picture taken just prior to the start of the pandemic two years ago, you may simply have that photo go into the new Directory and there is nothing more for you to do.  If, like most of us, though, your photo sitting was cancelled due to the pandemic, OR if you wish to get a new photo taken, be sure to book a new appointment.  Here's how:

The photo sitting dates are from Monday, November 14 to Wednesday November 23 any time between 1:30 - 8:30 pm on each of those days, with the exception of Saturday, Nov. 19, when the times are between 9:30 am - 4:30 pm, and NO BOOKINGS on Sunday, Nov. 20.  You may go ahead and book your spot, online, beginning this weekend by simply clicking on the link below and following a few simple instructions. Unless you do not have access to a computer, ALL bookings will be done on-line, beginning this weekend, on Friday, September 30.  We can't wait for everyone to finally have their photos taken and the new Directory to start taking shape!   Just click on the link below and grab your preferred date and time before someone else does!   

Note:  Only those folks who do not have access to a computer will be able to book their appointments, beginning the afternoon of Friday, September 30,  by calling Joan Robertson, at (306) 222-9914, or Bonnie Klimek, at (306) 230-2756, but we do hope to keep those calls to a very bare minimum.  

Remember - your Directory is free just for participating but we need  all of you to participate!  This Directory will embrace young and old, families, couples and single parishioners.  You are ALL members of our church family, and our Directory is not complete without you!  Thanks for your support and participation in this great project!

Pumpkins and Fall Decor Needed!

The Art and Environment Committee has begun to decorate the church inside and out for the fall season and they would love your help!  The Committee is looking for donations of pumpkins, gourds, and squash of all sizes, as well as a variety of fall flowers. These can be dropped off at the church any time during office hours or before Masses.  Our parishioners are always SO great at chipping in to help make our church look festive, warm and beautiful, so thanks in advance for your colourful autumn contributions!

Please note: The preparation for First Communion will be in Spring 2023.
