FIRST HOLY COMMUNION

On Sunday, April 26th our children who have been enrolled in our catechism program make their First Holy Communion at the 10:30 a.m. mass.
I want to congratulate them and express how pleased we are to have them receive Jesus for the first time in this precious Sacrament. May the Lord Jesus continue to nourish and bless you.
Our gratitude to the parents, family and friends as well as our Catechist, Eoin O’Haigain who have been preparing them for this very significant moment.

SACRAMENT OF CONFIRMATION

The Sacrament of Confirmation:
Our Ascension of Our Lord students who have been following the ‘Be My Disciples’ catechism program for several years received the Sacrament of Confirmation, Saturday, April 25th. Father Harry Celestin, c.s.v. Episcopal Vicar presided. 
We are proud of these young parishioners, and I wish to congratulate them as they confirm and affirm the faith they received on their baptismal day.
May the gifts of the Holy Spirit you received today strengthen the graces of Baptism as you grow and mature in the Christian life.
We express our gratitude to the parents and family of these students for your guidance and good example, and for making sure that they remain close to Jesus and His Church. Special thanks to their Catechist, Patricia Smith, for her effort and dedication in forming our Confirmandi, and their Sponsors. Congratulations to each one of you.

MASS INTENTIONS

An April 2025 Vatican decree permits priests to accept multiple separate intentions and stipends for a single mass, known as “collective intentions” for both the Sunday and weekday mass.

These intentions will be published in the parish bulletin or on the parish website.

When a person requests a mass to be celebrated in the parish, he or she will be informed of this arrangement.

Food Bank Donation

We have a tradition in our parish to support the hungry on a more continuous basis. Over 860,000 Canadians visit food banks every month, with over 36% of the donations feeding hungry children.
