Pastor's Pen for 18^th  Sunday in Ordinary Time – August 1^st & 2^nd , 2020 






 

Dear Parishioners of North Central Windsor Catholic Families of  Parishes, 
 
Calling for more volunteers. 
4 weeks ago we had a number of parishioners who came forward to help us out in following the numerous restrictions with the re-opening of our Churches. During these summer holidays a few of them have asked for a break. If you or someone you know is looking to join our Team of Volunteers please contact Liz in the office at 519-945-4133 ext 200. Thank you 
 
Pre-recorded Sunday Masses 
At the present time we will be taking a short break from pre-recording our Sunday Masses as we are doing our best to move forward to live-streaming our Sunday mass. More details will follow. We are doing our best to bring the Word of God to all our parishioners during these unprecedented times with our present pandemic.  
 
A special thank you to Christine Coyle and her volunteers! 
This Year’s Virtual Vacation Bible School was a huge success! 54 children joined in every day for 5 days enjoying the excitement, laughter, exercises, projects and much more. Mission accomplished once again given the present pandemic we all face. May God bless all our children with a deep faith to accept  the things we cannot change.  
Thank you Christine for your devoted heart to Youth Ministry! 
 
First Communions are going well! 
Many thanks to our Parish Team for making this all happen for our little children making their First Communion. We are so blessed that 90 of our children were able to celebrate their First Communion during these “different” times.  
Special thanks to Christine for organizing all these celebrations. Special thanks to the parents for supporting their child during this special time in their spiritual life. 
God continues to shower us with His blessings during these challenging days.

An Act of Spiritual Communion

My Jesus, 
I believe that You
are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. 
I love You above all things, 
and I desire to receive You into my soul. 
Since I cannot at this moment
receive You sacramentally, 
come at least spiritually into my heart.
I embrace You as if You were already there
and unite myself wholly to You.
Never permit me to be separated from You.
Amen.
