Parish message of the week:

1. Our season of Lent has begun. There will be a parish-wide Penance Service later in Lent, including confessions in English. However, we remind everyone that confessions are heard generally before each Sunday Mass from 11:50 a.m. to 12:20 p.m.
2. We again welcome our adult catechumens as well as those who are undergoing catechetical lessons in order to enter into Full Communion with the Catholic Church. In the coming weeks and months, but especially during this Lenten season, we invite all to introduce yourselves to these men and women seeking to join us, and to welcome them with your prayers.  The RCIA classes resume this coming Thursday  the 18 Feburary, 2016 at 7:30 p.m.
3. We remind all parents of children between infancy and 5 years of age that the first of our quarterly Infant Baptism Rites will be on Sunday the 3^rd of April , the first Sunday after Easter. Parents wishing to have their children baptized at that time should pick up the forms for baptism from the parish offices on the 5^th floor or leave a message at the reception desk for Father McCabe to call you.
4. The Diocesan Audio Visual Centre is launching Episode 4: “The Joy of the Encounter: in Celebration of the Year of Consecrated Life”. Please take a copy after Mass.
