Statement from the Diocese of London

The Diocese of London and Catholic community of southwestern Ontario are deeply saddened to learn of all those who lost their lives in the crash of Ukraine airlines flight PS752 in Iran. We are especially thinking of, and praying for, the four Western students and five Windsorites who died, and their families. May they, and all who died in this tragic crash, rest in peace.

Each year, at this time of year, we offer special prayers for all our students from our Family of Parishes who are preparing to write their exams.  May they be assured of our thoughts and prayers once again during this time. 

At each of the entrances of our four churches there are registration forms for new families who wish to join our Family of Parishes. All I ask them to do is fill out one of those forms and drop it off in the Sunday collection and our office administration will be happy to register them immediately. If you prefer, please feel free to drop in to our office at Most Precious Blood and drop it off personally. 

At this time I wish to extend a very warm welcome to the families who have recently become parishioners of one of our four parishes and one community. 

My prayer is that those who are drawn to our altars during every mass, that Jesus, in the Holy Eucharist will satisfy their spiritual hunger.

Next weekend I will be out of town celebrating a wedding of a couple who journeyed through our RCIA process at Most Precious Blood 2 years ago. May God bless all our engaged couples as they prepare for their special wedding day.

As we face the cold and flu season, there are parishioners who choose not to shake hands during the sign of peace during Mass , rather express the sign of peace with a simple bow.  May we always respect those around us as we gather for Sunday and weekday Masses.

Have a Blessed week everyone,

Father Greg
