Good Afternoon,
Happy Mother’s Day to all the women caregivers in our parish! We welcome Pope Leo XIV as he serves the church in his new role as Pope.
We are excited to let you know about a book launch of 100 Stories from the History of St. Joseph’s Parish, which will be available for purchase later this month. Thank you to parishioners Terry Byrne for your leadership and development of the project, and to Chris Adam for so much editing and publishing effort to make it happen.
Good Morning,
Attached you will find our Bulletin. There are many upcoming events, including one I would like to highlight.
Coming up tomorrow, we have St. Joe’s Coffee and Studio. This is meant to be a day of community, creating art in the company of others while supporting the Supper Table. Please see the bulletin for more information. To register, contact suppertable@st-josephs.ca by 6pm today.
Good Afternoon,
Attached you will find our Bulletin. Thank you to those who attended the Memorial Service for Pope Francis today at the noon Mass. To those of you who were unable to attend, the Reflection by Roshene (in the Bulletin) will be read at this weekend’s Masses. As well, we have a memorial book for the late Pope at the back of the church. Please sign your name or some words as we recognise his great legacy of caring and compassion.
St. Joseph’s Parish is proud to be an Elections Canada voting station this coming Monday. Elections Canada estimates that as many as 10,000 individuals may come to the Parish Hall to cast their ballot.
Good afternoon,
Please see attached our Easter bulletin. Enclosed you will find our Easter message, memorial lily dedications, guest information, upcoming events, and more. A reminder that there is NO University Mass until September – information will be shared when this resumes.
Easter Sunday also coincides with Hospitality Sunday – what an exceptional way to spend the holiday! Stay after Mass for treats and fellowship.
Good day,
Please find linked below our Sunday bulletin, packed with news.
Notably, you will see info for Holy Week – the Liturgical schedule for everything from now until Easter Sunday. Please note that Easter Lily memorials close on Tuesday, use the form below or see the Bulletin for more details.
Our former pastor, Fr. Jim Bleackley, passed away this past Tuesday. We deeply mourn the loss of Fr. Jim here at St. Joe’s. After Easter, we will work towards organising an activity to honour Jim. Jim was a good person and will be remembered by all. He was also the cornerstone of keeping our parish vibrant through the worst of the pandemic. May you rest in peace, Fr. Jim. Please see the obituary linked below, there are also limited copies available this weekend with the Bulletins.
Good morning,
Please see our attached Bulletin for the 5th Sunday of Lent as well as details from the St. Joe’s Women’s Centre.
Good day,
Please find linked below our Sunday bulletin.
Please note we have revised our Lent services schedule, see the new version linked. The two revisions include having a Reconciliation Service on April the 8 at noon, and as well as having no University Mass starting Easter Sunday. The final Sunday 7pm University Mass will take place on Palm Sunday (April 13). There are flyers at the back of the church for you to take home which reflect the new changes.
Dear all,
Please see our publications for this weekend.
Good day,
We look forward to having you join us this weekend. Not only is it Hospitality Sunday, but this extends to both evening Masses as well with treats and goodies to accompany both you and the Parish Pastoral Council. PPC Members will be joining this weekend to engage with you and get your thoughts about St. Joe’s and our activities.
Additionally, next week join us and other churches in the area for an Inter-Parish Lenten Mission featuring Megan McKenna. Details on the locations are found in the Bulletin. Many other activities will happen here throughout Lent as well; so check out the Bulletin and stay tuned for more to come!
Good afternoon,
Welcome to our first weekend of Lent. You’ll see so much going on over the next month and a half at our parish and beyond. We have a breadth of activities planned – please see our linked bulletin below for details.
