Children’s Liturgy The Children’s Liturgy is a way to make children participate to the Mass. During the first part of the celebration, the children are invited to the Hall to do activities: coloring, crafts, prayer, games and also hear to listen a reading of the Gospel of the week. After the activities, the children are invited to go back into the church for the Eucharistic Prayer and Communion. The Children’s Liturgy take place every week during the 10:00 Sunday Mass.
CWL The Catholic Women’s League of Canada is a national organization rooted in gospel values calling its members to holiness through service to the people of God. The patroness of the League is the Blessed Virgin Mary under the title of our Lady of God Council. The League’s crest, with its cross, unbroken circle and maple leaves, is symbolic of constant service to God and Canada; its flag is a permanent, public symbol of faith, unity and purpose.

Our Lady of Perpetual Help Devotion The devotion to our Lady of Perpetual Help was introduced to our Parish by the Redemptorists Fathers who were assigned as our Parish Pastors for many years. Every Tuesday before Mass (at 11:15) a small group of parishioners gathers to pray for the intercession of Mary. Come and pray with us! Mother of Perpetual Help, Woman of Eternal Hope, your wordless gaze tells us so much about you. Knowing eyes look upon us with tender love. The slight bend of your head reveals such maternal concern. While your left hand supports the Child, your right hand is ready to receive us, too. Just as He feels the beating of your heart, so you encourage us to lead a life of hope and holiness. Just as His sandal will fall on your lap, through your intercession may God pick us up as we stumble and fall. Never let us be parted from you and your son, Jesus. Lady of love, you invite us to place our hand where His fingers touch yours — near a heart of endless hope — so that we may be united often in prayer here on earth and joined forever with you in heaven. Amen.
