Bulletin: 26th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Good afternoon,

Please see our Bulletin, featuring community activities to take part in for the National Day of Truth and Reconciliation. As an Oblate parish, it is our duty to meaningfully engage in reconciliation in all that we do. Please do your part for this necessary day, learning and experiencing, to further commit yourself to reconciliation. There is still room to take part in the KAIROS Blanket Exercise – please register in advance.

Please be advised that on Thursday, October 2, the parking lot here at St. Joe’s will be CLOSED to all staff, volunteers, and the general public for maintenance. There will be no weekday Mass or parish choir practice on this date.

Bulletin: 25th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Good afternoon,

Please see this weekend’s Bulletin, featuring a breadth of community events! This weekend, join us on Sunday after Mass for Hospitality Sunday — a time where all are invited to remain after Mass for coffee and baked goods. We also resume our Children’s Liturgy.

The Refugee Outreach Committee is proud to host an event in partnership with the Canadian Council of Refugees, in the Parish Hall on October 5th. Please see the Bulletin for details and to register. Reminder – the Blanket Exercise also requires your registration for attendance.

Also, find a novel initiative for parishioners supporting their family who just moved to Canada through a fundraiser selling preserves and baked goods. I can personally attest that I’ve gotten mine and they are well worth it!

Parish Bulletin for the Start of August

Good afternoon all,

Please see attached our Bulletin for the start of August (we are still publishing biweekly after a brief 3-week edition). I’m also sharing John Mark Keyes’ Reflection from last weekend as well.

Continuing in our quiet St. Joe’s summer, please note there is no Friday night Christian Meditation or Weekday Mass during the month of August. Keep an eye on the Bulletin for when they resume in September.

Enjoy the beautiful weather! I’m glad to be back to write you all.

Bulletin for the End of July

Good Afternoon,

Please see the attached Bulletin for some community updates, including a deep freezer that the parish has for sale.

Starting Monday, July 14, I will be away for medical leave, planning to return on August 1. I will sure miss our beautiful parish in the meantime! During my absence, we welcome Jamie G to the Front Office two days per week. Jamie is familiar with the property and has absorbed knowledge quickly during her training – I have full confidence in her abilities to assist you in my absence! See you again soon 🙂 -Mikayla
