Mission Statement We, the community of the faithful of St. Mary of Carleton Place, inspired by the

living Spirit of Christ, join together in concretely living out in our daily life the message of salvation proclaimed by our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. From the mission received from our Baptism in the Risen Christ, we will endeavour to bring

his message of salvation to the world around us. Therefore, we will try to enrich

our parish community through our liturgical celebrations and regular prayer meetings, to deepen the faith life of our

community through Catechetical programs for children, youth and adults, to raise an

awareness of justice and peace in the minds and hearts of all people, and instill in all members of our Parish community a caring and loving disposition toward the poor, the sick and the needy of our wider community and of the world. Our parish

life and mission are dedicated to the patronage of Mary, Mother of Mercy, the true icon of our loving and merciful God.

Parish Day of Renewal

Dear Parishioners,

Soon after I resumed my duties as the Pastor of our parish, I constituted a

Pastoral Team comprised of some members of our parish. The objective of

this group is to assist me in the task of running our parish especially in the

area of creating a pastoral vision that will help our parish community to

become a missionary parish. I believe that the task of growing in faith is an

ongoing exercise.

To this regard, our Pastoral Team has had several meetings in the last year.

We have generated some ideas and possibilities and it is now time to swing

into action. To this effect the Pastoral Team has identified the need to kick

start this process by organizing a Parish Day of Renewal for our

Parishioners especially the different individuals and groups that are actively

involved in the leadership and smooth running of our parish.

This day of renewal will give us an opportunity to reflect on our journey so

far as a parish. We will be able to identify our challenges, problems,

opportunities, and prospects as a missionary parish. We will look at the

existing pastoral culture with the view of maintaining, adjusting or creating

a new pastoral culture. At the end, together we will be able to create a

pastoral vision and culture that will enrich our common heritage of faith.

To assist us with this exercise, I have asked Fr. Pierre-Alain Giffard, a

Professor of Practical Theology (Ministry) at Saint Paul University Ottawa

to facilitate this parish Day of Renewal. Fr. Giffard is well known for his

work in the area of parish renewal. This special event will take place on

Sat. Nov.17, 2018 from 9:30 am to 1:00 pm at our parish Church Hall.

We have fifteen spots available for this event. Anyone interested in

participating should please sign up at the back of the Church as soon as

possible. I have also asked the different groups in our parish to send in

representatives on that day.

Thank you for the good wok you do for our parish. May God bless you all

abundantly as you continue to work in his vineyard.

Yours in Service,

Fr. Cosmas Ajawara

An Invitation to Practice Christian Meditation in a Group

Are you a meditator or interested in learning about Christian

meditation; and, are you interested in practicing meditation once

weekly in a group at St. Mary’s Church? If so, you are welcome to

submit your name to the church office. Also, at the conclusion of

Masses on Sat. Nov. 10 & Sun. Nov. 11 a sign up will be on table in

foyer and someone will answer your questions re: meditation.

Meditation is one of the lesser known spiritual disciplines practiced by

Roman Catholics, yet, it is a deeply effective way to experience

communion with God, oneself and our fellow human – beings.

Priests’ Retirement Fund Parish Collection

The annual collection for the Priests’ Retirement Fund of the

Archdiocese of Kingston will take place on the weekend of Nov 10-

us to show our gratitude for the dedicated service of our priests.

Thank you for your continuing support of this important collection.
