For Everything There Is A Season September is turning out to be
the month that most reflects the Book of Ecclesiastes. With the sad
and sudden death of Italo Ciaschi, our Administrative
Assistant/Bookkeeper, it is a time to make changes to our parish
of-fice. For many years Italo was the one who enthusiastically
welcomed new parishioners. He was the one I relied upon to manage
our books and records. He is greatly missed by me and by all of you
who called upon him as a brother. Our heartfelt condolences
continue to go out to Adriana and their children. I’m grateful that
a number of you have requested Masses for the repose of his soul.
May he rest in peace. I have decided to hire two separate people to
fill the positions of Administrative Assistant and Bookkeeper. To
this end, I’m very pleased to announce that Sarah Gould has been
hired as our new Bookkeeper effective Mon-day, September 23rd. She
has a great deal of experience and I’m confident that she will
exercise her responsibili-ties with integrity and dedication. She
is a parishioner and the wife of Jason Gould, the Director of Camp
Brebeuf. Thank you Sarah! The Administrative Assistant position has
been posted at the diocesan Web site. (See below for details.) At
the Pastoral Council meeting last week we discussed the hours and
settled on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 9:00am to 1:00pm. In
addition to greeting people and answering the phone, one of their
primary responsibilities will be the publication of the bulletin.
We discussed the possibility of an online only version. But after
hearing how much people appreciate a paper copy, I decided that we
will continue to print the bulletin. I just hope some-one will read
it. Receiving information online has become the norm in our
society. Since you are reading this now, that gives me hope. Then
again, you could have downloaded the PDF from the parish Web site
to your phone or your computer. Whether from the hard copy or from
your device, I’m glad someone is reading the bul-letin. Thank you.
At the Pastoral Council meeting, we also discussed moving forward
with our Visiting Ministry. More details coming soon. September is
also a time to ask for new volunteers. We need help in all areas of
parish life. We need new ushers at all the Masses. We need more
volunteers for hospitality ministry at the 5:00pm and 9:00am
Masses. We very much need new cleaners to clean the church once a
week. We could also use more Ministers of the Word and Ministers of
Communion. There are formation days for Ministers of the Word
coming up on Saturday, October 5th, 2019 at St. Anthony Daniel
Parish, Kitchener, and Saturday, October 19th, 2019 at St. Thomas
the Apostle Parish, Waterdown. The Ministers of Communion formation
days are Saturday, November 2nd, 2019 at St. Augustine Parish,
Dundas and Saturday, November 9th, 2019 at St. Louis Parish,
Waterloo. Please let me know if you are interested in volunteering
for any of the positions. Finally, a word of the new church. As you
may have heard, one of the site plan requirements is access to Camp
Brebeuf that complies with current standards for a private lane. At
the moment it would appear that the owner of Brebeuf Path is not
willing to permit the necessary upgrade. However, I want to assure
you that we may have hit a road block, but it’s not a dead end. The
Diocese is currently working on an alternate access that I believe
will make for a beautiful entrance to the camp and the church.
Please continue to pray that God will provide the way. Fr. Mark
Morley (Reprint from September 22nd, 2019)

The Turkey Supper The Catholic Women's League would like to
invite you to our Annual Turkey Supper Fundraiser on October 7,
2019 @ Rockmosa Community Centre at 6:00 pm. Dine-in tickets are
$20.00 for adults, $10.00 for children 12 and under and $55.00 for
a family, which includes 2 adults and children under 18. Take out
tickets are available for $20.00 each and new this year we have a
Family Style Dinner (feeds 2 adults and 2 children) in aluminum
trays for $55.00. All take out will be available for pick up in
Coulson Hall at the back of the church between 4:30 pm - 6:30 pm.
Both Dine-in and Take out tickets can be purchased every weekend in
September after mass. You can also support this event by sponsoring
our virtual shopping experience on display in Coulson Hall. The
turkey supper feeds over 300 people each year. It's a lot of work
and takes many volunteers. We are looking for volunteers on Sunday,
October 6 from 2:00 pm - 6:00 pm and on Monday, October 7 all day
with a special need for help with the clean up on Monday evening.
If you are able to volunteer a few hours of your time, a sign-up
sheet will be left in Coulson Hall. This is a major fundraiser for
the Catholic Women's League, Sacred Heart of Jesus Parish and St.
Peter’s in Oustic, so any support you can provide would be greatly
appreciated. Please contact Loretta Vince at 519-856-9409. Thank
you and God Bless.
Micheal House We will again be putting our playpen out in
Coulson Hall for Micheal House. Micheal House is a Christian based
charitable agency in Guelph dedicated to providing housing and
services to young pregnant and parenting women in need of a
supportive environment. For many years our parish has put out a
playpen in which donations of baby items such as diapers, baby
food, shampoo, etc. may be placed. The drive will run from
Saturday, Sept. 21 to Sunday Oct.13th. Please be as generous as you
can. Mary Spiteri
FROM THE DIOCESE OF HAMILTON
Reflection:
Christ is not valued at all
until He is valued above all.
First Communion Parents Parents of children registering for
First Communion are asked to meet in the parish hall (side door of
the
church) on Tuesday, October 1st at 6:00pm. If you are unable to
attend, please contact Fr. Mark by phone or
e-mail.
Life Chain Sunday Please keep Sunday, September 29th free as we
are holding our annual Life Chain. As we join Canadians all over
peacefully and prayerfully, let us trust wholly in our Lord. Our
own ef-forts have failed to end or substantially reduce the number
of abortions performed in our country. Please pray that God will
intervene and that He will forgive our past indifference and lack
of commitment. We are all our "Brother's Keepers" which in this
case, it is our unborn brothers and sisters. Please make this hour
a turning point in the destiny of our nation. Rock-wood Life Chain
will be held on Sunday September 29th from 2:00pm-3:00pm at
WATERSIDE PARK. Please try to gather by 1:50 PM. Mary Spiteri
Registration for Online Faith Formation programs for adults is
now available. These programs are offered through the Diocese of
Hamilton in partnership with Dayton University in Ohio. Each course
costs $50. Information sessions will take place throughout the
Diocese in the coming weeks. To learn more about the Online
Learning Portal, please visit the website,
https://www.hamiltondioceselearns.com/ or contact
[email protected] or 905-528-7988 ext. 2226.
October: Month of the Rosary During the month of October, the
Ro-sary will be prayed before all Masses. Please come a little
early. The Rosary is a powerful weapon against all evils. That is
why she gave it to us, and there is much evil in the world. Let’s
do our part and sacrifice a little time for the Rosary. Mary
Spiteri
Adoration Opportunity There is an opportunity to participate in
Adoration of our Lord in the Blessed Sac-rament here in our church.
There is an hour available, Tuesday evening 11:00pm to 12:00
midnight. If you are interested or have questions, please contact
Jane Hosdil 519-827-1929
October Food Drive Non-perishable food items for the East
Wellington Community Services Food Bank here in Rockwood can be
dropped off in the basket in Coulson Hall.
