Double the Impact - of Your ShareLife Contribution!

Through the generosity of a parishioner in the Archdiocese, all new and increased gifts to the 2012 campaign will be matched. For example, a new $20 gift will create $40 in new contributions to the work of our agencies; an increase in your gift of $15 will mean that $30 new dollars will be raised. Together, we can reach the $650,000 target that this parishioner has indicated they will contribute against new and increased gifts. Help to make a significant impact toward the work of our agencies make a contribution toward the ShareLife campaign today!

Seeds of Vocation
Second Sunday in Lent - March 4th If you need examples of persons responding to Gods call, look at Abraham and Sarah - called in old age to leave their country and have a child. Then Abraham was asked to sacrifice that child. What faith! Answering Gods call to be a priest, brother, sister or deacon is also taking a great risk. If you are willing, and think God is calling you to a Church vocation, please call Fr. Hansoo at 416-9680997 or you may email vocations@vocations.ca (www.vocationstoronto.ca)
