I would like to congratulate
all those children who received Holy Communion for the first time last weekend.
I am sure your families were very proud of you and celebrated at home later in
the day! It is my hope that you will come
back and receive Jesus every Sunday with our community at St. Dominic Parish. I
also hope that you enjoyed our First Communion party last Tuesday!
Thanks to our three
Principals, Silvina Wolf from St. Dominic Catholic School, Ann Marie Slak from
Queen of Heaven Catholic School and Paul Schmidt from St. Paul Catholic
Secondary School for addressing us at the beginning of Education Week in
Ontario. As they said, we really need to keep the connection solid between
home, parish and school. That really means that our families need to have a good
relationship with our parish and school communities by virtue of their
attendance and involvement.
Happy Mother’s Day to our
Mothers in the parish and Mothers where ever they may be! This is a prayer for
you all!
Thank you, dear Lord, for our
mothers
Who were brave enough to give
birth
Who loved through many
growing-up years
Who taught about God and love
and being good
Who often got no thanks
Whose ears could hear the
slightest cry
Whose eyes didn't miss much
either
Whose hands held and bathed
and picked up
Whose heart was often broken
Who always forgave and forgot
Who encouraged when things
went bad
Who always had time to listen
Who worked so hard to make
things go
Who make the world so much
better
Who deserve our love on
Mother's Day
And Every day
Even for eternity. Amen
I
wish you all a good week!
Fr. Phil
