UPCOMING MEETINGS/EVENTS
Season of Advent: This weekend marks the beginning of a new Church year! The weeks of Advent challenge us to prepare our hearts for the celebration of
Christmas, as well as for the second coming of Christ. The Advent wreath is a beautiful symbol of this season.
L’Avent débute aujourd’hui, ainsi que la nouvelle année liturgique. C’est un temps de préparer nos cœurs à recevoir Jésus, Dieu parmi nous. Par ce fait même, nous nous rappelons aussi que nous sommes un peuple en attente, préparé et vigilant, qui attends la deuxième venue du Christ.
Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament: This Friday, parishioners are encouraged to
“spend some quiet reflective time with Jesus in praise and thanksgiving for His presence”. Adoration will begin immediately following the 9:15am Mass at St. Joseph and will conclude until 2pm. A sign-up sheet will ensure that someone will be present with Jesus throughout the day. Please sign if you haven’t already done so.
Adoration takes place every Tuesday at St. Paul Church from 10am to 1pm.
and
at Sacred Heart on the 2nd Thursday of each month from 10am to 6pm.
Prenez quelques moments ce vendredi pour venir adorer le Seigneur entre 10h et 14h. C’est une belle occasion de faire silence et de L’écouter.

Annual Giving Tree: This is the last weekend to bring in your gifts, as they must be returned at any of the weekend Masses at St. Paul by December 1st. Please place the gift in an open gift bag, unwrapped and include the tag taken off the tree. If you lose your tag, please make your own tag with the name of the charity on it.
Sunday Missals are now available for the 2019/2020 Liturgical Year. They are located in the narthex (back of the church) at a cost of $5 per book.
Giving Tree: The Giving Tree is now set up. Please take a tag, bring the gift unwrapped with the tag attached to it, and return it to the church no later than December 15th. You may put the gift in a gift bag if you wish. As for the envelopes, please clearly label the envelopes and make all cheques out to “St. Vincent de Paul” so that the counters know where the money is to go.
Eucharistic Adoration: Currently we have Adoration every Tuesday from 10am to 1pm. A minimum of two people per time slot (1hr) need to be
committed. At this time we are falling short of that. In order for weekly Adoration to continue, more people must sign up to be in the church for an hour. If we aren’t able to fill these spots on a regular basis, we may need to consider Adoration monthly. There is a sign up sheet on the table in the new hallway.
Our annual Parish Bake Sale will be held after the weekend Masses on December 21st & 22nd. Bakers are needed. If you are able to bake for us please contact Kelly Bondy at
