“Come, you that are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me.” ~ Gospel of the Day & Reflection

A Valentine's evening transformed
|
|
Lent fell on Valentine's Day this year, and God Squad Canada decided to organize a dinner and musical event to assist men in celebrating this occasion with their loved ones. What began as a Valentine's Day evening became something more profound by the witness Catholics demonstrate in their day-to-day Christian joy. Curious? Read Sean's story here.

Happy Family Day! |
|
Lord, bless our family, all of us now together, those far away, and all who have returned to you.
May we know joy, and may we bear our sorrows in patience. Let love guide our understanding of each other, and let us be grateful to each other.
O Family of Jesus, watch over our family. Blessed Mother, pray for us. St. Joseph, pray for us. Amen.

PASTORAL RENEWAL |
+ |
|
|
|
You are called. You matter. You belong.
These simple yet profound words capture the essence of our Pastoral Renewal. Jesus personally calls each one of us to follow Him and to remain by His side, for He deeply loves us.
And it is not merely a call; it is a profound affirmation that we truly matter. Every aspect of our lives - our dreams, our struggles, our joys - carries immense significance, for we are integral parts of God’s divine plan. Each one of us, in our uniqueness, contributes to the beauty and unfolding of God’s gift of salvation in the world.
In this pilgrim journey of faith, let us be reminded that we belong to the Body of Christ, a community of disciples united in the one mission, and bound together by the love of our Lord.
We invite you to join our diocesan Church and begin a journey of renewal together!

POPE'S PRAYER INTENTION |
+ |
|
Each year, the Holy Father asks for our prayers for a specific intention each month. You are invited to answer the Holy Father's request and to join with many people worldwide in praying for this intention each month. From time to time, the Holy Father may add a second prayer intention related to current events or urgent needs, like disaster relief. The second prayer request will help mobilize prayer and action related to the urgent situation.
