Thirty-Third Sunday in Ordinary Time

Sunday, November 15, 2009

 

PLEASE JOIN US NEXT SUNDAY-NOV. 22nd!

 

Fr. David Couturier, Director of Pastoral Planning for the Archdiocese, will concelebrate at the 9am Mass. After mass, Fr. Couturier will host a talk starting at 10am across the street at the Carleton House about his role and the Cardinal’s vision for parish planning in the archdiocese.  It is vitally important for all parishioners to be present to hear about some of the obstacles facing parishes. It is equally important for us to hear some of the creative ideas and thinking by Fr. Couturier that will help to deal with some of the obstacles facing parishes such as ours. Fr. Couturier would like to hear from us about the parish’s hopes, opportunities and challenges.
