FUTURE CATHOLIC TEACHER? Students and teachers applying for a position with the Catholic School Board must have a pastoral reference from their parish priest. It is a pre-requisite. Please be aware that Fr. Jerry will only provide references for registered parishioners who have personally known to him. Attendance at Sunday Mass is expected and participation in parish ministries is a definite plus when applying for any teaching job.
DID YOU KNOW? You can take care of ‘business’ at our Welcome Desk on the weekends. We’re able to serve you and answer any questions you might have. You can also request Mass intentions and book appointments when you’re already at Mass. Please take advantage of this, it helps us control the number of walk-in’s and distractions during the week.

homeless shelter of last resort in Peterborough. May 4, 7PM St. Anne’s Parish Hall. Admission: by donation. Proceeds to help provide meals at One Roof.
-Baptismal Waters The celebration of Easter and the Sacrament of Baptism are intimately connected. Easter is the beginning of life in Christ. On Easter Sunday, we renewed our baptismal faith and were sprinkled with water blessed at the Solemn Easter Vigil. On Divine Mercy Sunday, we close the Easter Octave by celebrating the Rite for the Blessing and Sprinkling of Water at the beginning of all parish Masses.
-Flame of Faith The Paschal or Easter Candle is the most important symbol of the Resurrection. It’s lighted at the Solemn Easter Vigil and then stands next to the ambo throughout the entire fifty days of the Easter Season. The newly baptized are welcomed into the Church by its light and it speaks of eternal life at every Funeral Mass.
-Have an announcement for the Newsletter? If you’d like to include an announcement in the Newsletter, please note the deadline is Tuesday at 12Noon. Thanks!
