Bulletin: 26th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Bulletins, Uncategorized

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.

Parish Bulletin for the Start of August

Bulletins, Reflections

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

Bulletins

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

Bulletin for End of June – Start of July

Bulletins, Concert

Hello,

Please see our Bulletin for the end of June and beginning of July. Our parish has less activity during the summer months regarding ministries and events, so take the time to enjoy the sunshine.

One special event we have coming up is the Hamilton Children’s Choir on their 50th Anniversary Tour. They hold a concert here on Monday, June 30 at 7pm and are graciously donating the freewill offering to St. Joe’s Supper Table. Please plan to join them!

Our July engagement survey is out! Thank you for your great attendance of our recent parish events. We also bring in-kind donation requests for the Women’s Centre and Refugee Outreach Committee.

Fr. Jim Bleackley’s memorial service takes place tomorrow at 11am. We have a memorial book available where you can write your well wishes and memories which will be shared with Jim’s family. See here for a memorial sing-along by our parishioners, performed for Jim in 2022. We hope you can bring these fond memories with you tomorrow.

Please note the Bulletin is now sent out biweekly for the summer. The next publishing will be June 28. We will likely still send out an e-blast next weekend if there are details to share. Front Office hours are modified, please see the Bulletin for confirmation.
