Knights of Columbus - St. Dominic Council 14968

St. Dominic’s Mississauga Council was founded in 2010 through the fervent efforts of our parish pastor Fr. Phil Jones and founding Grand Knight David Bain. Our council is named after our parish and patron saint. We work closely with the parish in Mississauga (Ontario, Canada) providing funds for various projects to help the parish, community and beyond, members being active participants in our home parish.  The council started Feb. 14, 2010 with 32 charter members.

From the desk of Fr. Phil…

I hope that you have had a chance for some rest and refreshment during the summer months.  It seems that it has gone all too quickly as we prepare to begin our parish programs and go back to school.  One of the themes for the parish in the coming months will be “Service to your Parish” where we will speak about ministries and many other ways of serving in the parish community.  Workshops will be held for Ministers of Communion, Lectors and Ministers of Welcome in the coming months and we will also be recruiting people to join our ministry teams. An invitation will be given to all parishioners to become more involved and more a part of our community of St. Dominic.

As you are already aware, we have been given the 

blessings of the Archdiocese to proceed with air-conditioning for the church. This has been a particularly hot and humid summer and many people have migrated to other parishes because of the heat.  It is my hope that we will have the system up and running by next summer to make it more comfortable for the celebration of daily and weekly masses and also for summer weddings and funerals.  There are envelopes at each entrance should you wish to contribute. Please remember to put your envelope number on the front of the envelope so that your donations are credited accurately. Thank you!   

Finally, I wish all of our students and teachers a rewarding and fruitful school year, 2010-2011. Queen of Heaven Catholic School will be celebrating their 50^th anniversary with many celebrations during the school year.  On September 7^th at 8:30 am, Fr. Noel and I will be on hand at the school to give a blessing and cut the ribbon at the entrance to the school to mark the beginning of this momentous year. All of you are welcome to join us! Later on in May, 2011 we will celebrate with Queen of Heaven here at the parish! I will keep you abreast of all the celebrations for the 50^th!    I trust you will all have a good week!        Fr. Phil

If you need power:

·         We have a very limited number of tables with access to power.  These tables are generally along the perimeter of the hall and they go quickly!  Only vendors at these tables will be allowed to connect a low power draw device to these outlets.  Note:  Safety is our primary concern, so access to power cannot be guaranteed to any vendor.
