God the Father, through his Son, the Virgin Mary’s child, has brought joy to all Christian Mothers, as they see the hope of eternal life shine on their children. May he bless the mother of His child. She now thanks God for the gift of her child. May she be one with him (her) in thanking him for ever in heaven, in Christ Jesus our Lord. Amen.

Be sure to mark June 10th on your calendars.

After four years of prayer and discernment, the Sisters of St. Joseph of Hamilton, London, Pembroke and Peterborough are exploring a closer union with each other. The new name would be “the Congregation of St. Joseph.” We have petitioned Rome for permission to do this and are awaiting a reply. In the meantime, we are working on many details involved in such a union and ask for your prayers and support as we continue to discern how the Sisters of St. Joseph can best serve God, God’s people and the Church.

Donations are currently being accepted for the yard sale organized by the Knights of Columbus and can be left at the rectory.

If you need someone to collect something for the sale you can contact Martin Kraan at 705-324-2084 or the parish office at 705-324-4828.

Help is always needed for setting up on Friday June 8 from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Anyone able to help, please just show up at St. Mary’s School Gym. Clean-up help is also needed after the 11:00 a.m. mass on Sunday.

Our sale turns unneeded items into cash for our church projects and charities.

Thank you for your generous support.
