ST. DOMINIC'S PARISH HAS A NEW Email: StDominicsMI@archtoronto.org ( Please note the upper and lower case on the email.)/
I am very happy to be back with you after such a long illness. I must thank all those priests who covered every Mass for me during this time: Msgr. Terence, Fr. Milton, Fr. Tom, Fr. Charbel, Fr. Chako, Fr. Roger, and Fr. Ivan . I am indebted to each one for your kindness and support!
Fr. Milton and Fr. Roger will be here for Sunday help on a regular basis. I am very grateful for that!

I also need to mention the Family of Faith Capital Campaign. As of today, Tuesday, November 3, we are at 93%of our goal from 158 parishioners. That represents $. We have a little ways to go to reach our goal of $495,000 but I am sure we will get there.

Thanks to the Knights of Columbus who hosted Oktoberfest a couple of weeks ago. I believe that a good time was had by all.

The Sacrament of First Reconciliation for our grade two classes will be held on Saturday November 14 beginning with the 9:15am Mass and on November 17th beginning with the 7pm Mass.

The Fall Confirmation programme for our grade eight classes is going very well. The sacrament of Confirmation will be conferred on November 21-22 at all Masses. Please continue to pray for our candidates. All grade seven students will begin their program with registration on March 7 2016 and will be confirmed on May 14-15 at all Masses.
