Preparation for First Confession/First Communion and Confirmation will be starting shortly. If your child/children are interested in receiving these sacraments, I invite you to contact the parish office for a registration form and further information:  holynameofmary@archkingston.ca or 613-396-2846

*Please note that the Archbishop will be coming to the parish to celebrate the Confirmations, and our parishes have moved to having Confirmation every other year.  If you have more than one child who would like to be Confirmed this year, this is possible, as long as they are at least in grade 5.

Do you have a desire to help young people grow in their faith, in particular as they prepare to receive the sacraments?  The parish is looking for volunteers to help with sessions leading up to First Reconciliation, First Communion, and Confirmation.  If you are interested or would like any further information, please speak with Father Francis.

PREGNANCY AND INFANT LOSS PRAYER SERVICE St. Mary’s Cathedral, Thursday, October 17, 2024, 7:00pm - 8:00pm There’s no blueprint for parents to know how to grieve or commemorate their baby’s life after the loss of an infant in utero or early in their short life after delivery. It can be confusing and disorienting on top of the sorrow. The prayer service is a time to honour your baby, a time to reflect and a time to receive comfort from our Lord Jesus Christ. If this resonates with you or you know of someone who might benefit from this service, then please pass it along and join us. Women, men, couples, children, grandparents, friends and relatives are all welcome. Light refreshments to follow. Contact Maria Magee mariap.magee@gmail.com for any questions.

In the past, the Catholic tradition emphasized preparing for a good death in order to see the face of God. We need to rediscover that way of life. In this four-part series, Father John Hibbard will share some spiritual and biblical reflections on living, illness, pain and dying in light of Jesus’s own experience of suffering and death.

 

Blanket Exercise: Renewed Catholic Commitment to Indigenous Reconciliation  Saturday, October 19; 1:00 - 3:30 pm, St John Catholic Elementary School Gym (34 Wilson St E, Perth) Parking behind St John’s Church.  It has been 2 years since Pope Francis came to Canada on a penitential pilgrimage in which he apologized and called for a future of justice, healing and reconciliation for and with Canada’s Indigenous Peoples.  In a “Letter to the People of God”, the Canadian Bishops are encouraging all Catholics to continue to listen to Indigenous communities on this journey of reconciliation.

On Saturday afternoon, October 19th you too can participate in this process of healing and reconciliation through a unique event in our parish: the Blanket Exercise.  This is an interactive way to learn the history and the relationship between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people in Canada.  

 

 The Franciscans: Is God Calling You? - The Gospel and the “following of Jesus Christ” were not idealistic but rather “dynamic values” for St. Francis and his followers.  People inspired by the Gospel values that they saw in Francis wanted to follow him.  These values are the substance of Franciscans today: the Poor Clares, the Secular Franciscans (for women and men, single or married) and of the Friars.  Is God “calling” you or “inviting you to be a part of the Franciscan mission?  Order?  Please send an email to Friar Reto Davatz at FrRDavatz@archkingston.ca.
