There are many opportunities in Kitchener-Waterloo to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation this Advent. See the list here.

One more week of having more information than we can fit in the bulletin.

We have so much going on, we needed an extra page for the bulletin this week! See the bulletin supplement page here.

Get your friends, husband or wife, Book Club Group, girlfriend, Red Hat Society, card playing buddies, boyfriend, neighbours or relatives together and join us for a Social Art Day on Saturday, December 8th in the Parish Centre. For those unfamiliar with Social Art, the entire class paints the same picture, and believe it or not, they are all very unique when completed! Colours can be changed and things left out of or added to the picture. Doors open at 9:00am, painting starts at 9:30am and will take about 2 hours so you’ll be out by Noon and have the rest of the day to figure out where you’re going to hang your creation or who you’re going to give it to for Christmas! We must have a minimum of 15 participants but have room for as many as the Parish Centre can hold. Cost is $51.00 (a portion of the cost will go toward the parking lot) which includes all supplies, coffee, tea and light breakfast goodies. This is the picture you’ll be painting To hold your spot, registration and payment is due to the Parish Office by Noon Friday, November 30th

Check out some of the good work being planned by our CWL, and how you can help!

We are excited to be offering the Alpha Course this fall at St. Michael's parish! Alpha is a series of evenings which explore life's big questions, such as 'Who is Jesus?', 'Why did he have to die?', and 'How do I pray?' It is a wonderful opportunity to go deeper into your faith, and encounter Christ on a deeper level. Each evening starts with a meal, followed by a video talk exploring the question for the evening, and closing the night with discussion. It starts Monday, Sep 24th - register today!

This weekend a letter was read in all parishes across the Diocese explaining the lost funding that our Catholic organizations (particularly our camps) have experienced because they refuse to renounce their pro-life convictions.
