Understanding its purpose. Our Volunteer management program will ensure

that volunteers are working in an organized, struc-

tured environment; polices and procedures outline

the volunteer’s rights as well as responsibilities,

and how they will be supported when an incident

occurs; position descriptions interviews and super-

vision of the volunteer is placed in a position that

is best suited to her/his abilities and interests; by

doing a risk assessment we take into consideration

the personal safety of all involved. The risk assess-

ment ensures that we are not placing a volunteer in

a dangerous location (i.e. unsafe equipment or

working alone at night) or placing an inexperi-

enced volunteer alone. (more reflections will be

posted to help us in this process).

Stations of the Cross During Lent, we invite the parishioners to

join us in praying the STATIONS OF THE

CROSS every Friday after 8am mass in

both English and Italian and also at

7:30pm in English and Spanish.

Reflecting on our Pastoral Plan How do we achieve the mission of the Pastoral

Plan? Celebrate our cultural diversity. The Arch-

diocese of Toronto is one of the most culturally

diverse dioceses in the world, with Mass celebrat-

ed in more than 30 languages each week. This

diversity is one of our greatest gifts and will be

nurtured lovingly and responsibly. Parishes with a

cultural history serve as a spiritual home and a

gathering of family members who share a common

culture, language and tradition. We must draw on

the richness of this diversity while challenging one

another to consider how we can best connect with

the body of Christ beyond our parish boundaries.

We will work to maintain a deep connection to the

local church, while encouraging our culturally

diverse parishes to share their successful models

of collaboration, worship and outreach with

friends across the Archdiocese. To learn more

about the Pastoral Plan, vis-

it www.archtoronto.org/pastoral

Reconciliation Tree

The call to conversion makes perfect

sense when we embrace it with con-

crete actions. We can pray, fast and

take care of the poor but these are

essentially easy tasks to perform.

The real work of conversion happens

when we take steps towards recon-

ciliation with those who we have not forgiven or

we have not asked to forgive us. As a parish com-

munity we are invited to seek new ways of recon-

ciliation. Every time you reconcile with someone

encourage others by attaching a ribbon onto the

tree by the Cross standing in the sanctuary area, in

front of the Blessed Sacrament. Would it not be a

great sign for us to see this tree covered complete-

ly in white by the end of these forty days? Encour-

age your children to be proud when they learn

what forgiveness can do in their lives. We can

begin by giving them an example of how to do it.

ShareLife You don’t have to look far to see

the wonders being worked by

Share life…. in the pews of your

parish, in the homes on your street,

in your neighbourhood. ShareLife

agencies provide competent, faith-informed

care to those who turn to them for help re-

gardless of their beliefs or background. Last

year, ShareLife agencies provided over

354,000 services to over 96,000 people and

assisted countless others in developing coun-

tries around the world. In 42 municipalities,

in 225 parishes, and in more than 20 lan-

guages, those in need received compassionate

care and respect they rightly deserve. In addi-

tion, countless others were assisted through

outreach programs around the world.

“To love God and neighbour is not some-

thing abstract, but profoundly concrete: it

means seeing in every person the face of the

Lord to be served, to serve him concrete-

ly." Pope Francis

Questions for Reflection: From the Gospel:

The voice in the ―bright cloud‖

said, ―This is my beloved Son, with

whom I am well pleased; listen to

him.‖

Can you relate to Peter, James

and John when they fall to the

ground and are very much

afraid?

WE ARE CHANGED. God approaches each of us and we are changed. Abram responds

with new purpose. He leaves his home, his family and everything to follow where the

Lord leads him. Peter, James, and John get a glimpse of the Lord Jesus as divine. This

glimmer becomes a foretaste of the resurrection. Jesus calls us to stand up and not be

afraid so we can take part in the good news. We can go forward with Jesus as he over-

comes death and shares with his followers divine life and immortality. Easter is all of

that— can we, can you, follow him?

Authorized Giving may be a good choice

win/win situation for you and our parish.

will be withdrawn from your account on or

about the 20th of the month. This amount

will then be deposited to the parish’s ac-

count. How Do I Enroll? Fill out the

PAG form which you can pick up at the

entrance of the Church or in the parish

office. You can also request it via email

(stjudes_weston@rogers.com) and then,

deposit the form in a sealed envelope in

the collection basket on Sundays or in

person to the Parish office: attn: Maria
