Quotations by Saint Therese of Lisieux

during the Year of Faith

“By allowing me to endure

temptations against faith, the

Divine Master has greatly

increased in my heart the spirit

of faith…

I am happy to be able to suffer

what Jesus desires me to suffer.

If He does not Himself prick His

little ball, it is true nevertheless

that He guides the hands

that prick it.”

Parents are reminded of their solemn responsibility to

present their children for Baptism. We are all

challenged to bring this Feast to life in our age and

thereby continue to participate in God's unfolding plan

for the whole human race.

O God, by whose mercy the faithful departed find rest, look kindly on your departed veterans who gave their lives in the service of their country. Grant that through the passion, death, and resurrection of your Son they may share in the joy of your heavenly kingdom and rejoice in you with your saints forever. We ask this through Christ

our Lord.

NOVEMBER EVENTS

Deo Gratias Collection-November 16/17

Please support the Deo Gratias Collection of November

16/17. All revenue will go to our Clergy Aid Society. We

are grateful to God, and to our retired clergy in the

Diocese of St. Catharines who, from the time of their

ordination, have cared for us and our spiritual needs. In

thanksgiving to God for them and their years of faithful service, your generous support of the Deo Gratias

collection will enable us to care for those who have

dedicated their lives to caring for us. The revenue from

this collection does not go into an endowment fund but

goes directly to the Clergy aid Society which provides an

income for our retired clergy.
