Salesian Men in Formation
Picture your Scripture
This year our bulletin will feature action images of each of the Salesian men in formation as they live out their vocations and continue the work of St. John Bosco.
This theme is called "Picture Your Scripture": each of our men in formation submitted a picture of himself in action living out his Salesianity. They also provided a scripture passage that speaks to their vocation story and journey into consecrated life.
As each young man is featured in the various communities around the Salesian province comprising eastern Canada and the eastern states, the hope is that they will be accompanied in prayer especially with their chosen scripture passage as a reflection.
Together, let’s unite our prayers asking God and Mary, Help of Christians, to guide our brothers in Christ on their way!

“Love one another. As I loved you, so you
must love one another.” John 13:34
Being Salesian to me means to bring light and love to the young. It means that you are ready to sacrifice all for the sake of the salvation of souls, particularly for those who are young. Daniel Glass

Giving Thanks for Canada Ahlam and her 3 daughters came to Toronto from Iraq in April 2013. They were the first family sponsored by St. Benedict parish.

Ahlam Jona, a refugee from Iraq, finds the simple privilege of going out on the streets without fear something to be thankful for.
Like thousands of other families from around the globe, Ahlam Jona turned to Canada as an escape from armed conflict. “Canada saved us from the war,” said the Syrian refugee, who arrived in Toronto with her daughters just over two years ago. Similar to other refugee claimants who have resettled in Toronto, Jona referred to the city’s simple privileges as having made all the difference.
“One of my daughters works as a cashier and she can go to and from work at night without a problem,” she said. “And when she goes to work, she will be paid.”

Lectio Divina with Cardinal Thomas Collins November 1 ~ 7:00 pm
St. Peter's Parish 840 Bathurst St., Toronto
Lectio Divina ("divine, or sacred, reading") is the name given to a spiritual tradition among Christians over the last two thousand years. This form of prayer involves three distinct stages: a) reading a short scripture passage b) reflecting on the passage and c) a short period of silence. We begin with Vespers (Evening Prayer) at 7:00pm, followed by Lectio Divina from 7:30 to 8:15pm. All are welcome to join Cardinal Collins for this special evening of prayer. Lectio Divina is recorded by Salt & Light Catholic Media for future broadcast.
