PARISH MISSION

“CULTIVATING THE SEEDS OF FAITH” An Adult Faith Formation Program

Lent is fast approaching. We are fortunate this year to again have our Parish Mission during Lent. Father Rick Walsh – a Paulist Priest from Toronto, will lead the Mission as we explore St. Paul. Please reserve the dates now. March 9th, 10th and the 11th.

During Lent the Faith Formation Office of the Diocese of Pembroke is hosting a series of sessions in the Renfrew Zone of the Diocese. These evenings will rotate through the zone and are being hosted for your faith development. We encourage your participation. They are held on Tuesday evenings from 7–8 p.m. beginning here at St. Francis Xavier Small Hall on February 24th. Please follow the bulletin for a full schedule of locations and topics.

Social Justice Committee: Central to our faith is a sense of justice for all. Our parish donates 2% of all our ordinary income to projects both local and in foreign lands which extend justice through their efforts. A small but vibrant parish committee assists in our out-reach. If you would be willing to share your ideas with our ideals please feel welcome to join us on Sunday, February 15th for a brief meeting in the rectory meeting room after the 10:30 mass. ADULT LEARNING OPPORTUNITY: We have three people preparing to join us at the Table of Eucharist. I will be facilitating a series of evenings on each of the sacraments – their origins in scripture, our history in developing our faith through them and a better understanding of how we celebrate them today. These weekly sessions continue this Thursday at which time we will explore Reconciliation. Everyone is most welcome to join us in the church at 7:00 p.m. for about an hour of exploration and discussion. Indeed, we encourage all who can to join in building a spirit of welcome to our people who are journeying with us. SUNDAY OFFERING: $5,048.00 = $4,333.00 [266 PHOTO PARISH PH OTO DIRECTORY: We will continue taking pictures here at the office over the winter. No doubt a session in the hall in the spring spring envelope postings] + $715.00 [16 EFT postings]). may well bring this project closer to our goal. Again, thank you. C.W.L. – General Meeting on Tuesday, February 10th at 7:00 p.m. in the Small Hall. All members and any women of the parish interested in exploring the C.W.L. are warmly invited to attend.

WORLD DAY OF THE SICK: February 11th is our Annual World Day of the Sick Our outreach to the sick, their family members and caregivers, is a call we have by our nature as God’s children. Indeed, Jesus modeled for us a profound sense of compassion for the sick. This day gives us an opportunity for both prayer and service. Perhaps now is a time to plan on what you might do that day, and hopefully often after that day, for persons that you know who are struggling with sickness. A special time of prayer will will be part of our Celebration of th Eucharist at 4:15 on Wednesday, February 11 .
