Rosary Apostolate

ROSARY APOSTOLATE IN OUR SCHOOLS.
The Rosary Apostolate was started by a nun - Sr Marilina Cinelli to teach the Rosary in the Schools. Once a month, Rosary Apostolate Volunteers teach each class separately. It has been very successful and we are now in more than 200 schools in Toronto and surrounding areas. This is a very important mission of Our Blessed Mother, especially in these times when there is so much bullying & violence in the schools. Our Spiritual Advisor is Bishop Lacey. Expenses are incurred in purchasing Rosaries for each child and to cover miscellneous costs including printing and regular Police checks for each of the Rosary Volunteer to the Schools. Contact: Myrna Nazareth 905 897 1435 for Brampton & Mississauga Areas.

500 Birthday Anniversay Celebration of St. Francis Xavier

It was a great celebration, Friday night, April 7, 2007 - the 500th anniversary of the birth of St. Francis Xavier. The Church, filled to capacity, was overwhelmed by the many celebrants, the choir was simply magnificent. They captured the spirit of St. Francis Xavier with: "Will you come and follow me if I call you by name?" from their opening song The Summons. >>click here for more pictures.

In Remembrance of Pope John Paul II

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, we thank you for the life and witness of John Paul II.
May the saints of God come to his aid –
the angels of the Lord carry him to Abraham’s bosom.
May his soul – and the souls of all the faithful departed
through the mercy of God,
rest in peace.

AMEN
