Solemnity of All Souls
On Thursday November 2nd, we celebrate in our Universal Church the Feast of All Souls.
On this day we pray for all who have died, particularly our loved ones and friends, and all those who died alone and may be forgotten.
By exception, there will be a Mass on
Thursday, November 2nd at 9:00 a.m.
I hope that you will be able to attend.
During the Month of November there will be a Book in the Church where you can write down the names of all those you would like us to remember at mass in our prayers.
May all the souls of the Faithful Departed rest in peace.

Food Pantry Donations
I would like to express my appreciation to all the parishioners who throughout the year donate food items to stock the food pantry at St Willibrord’s Parish.
Your generosity and thoughtfulness is greatly appreciated, and I believe the Lord who notices all the gestures of charity we extend to others, will amply reward you.
Thank you for assisting the needy and less fortunate in our neighbourhood.
Special thanks to David Barrington who weekly delivers the food to the parish.
– Father Mac Eachen
Food Bank Donation
We have a new 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.
