A Message from the Canadian Bishops The Catholic Bishops of Canada release a message in
which they urge the Canadian community to protect the vulnerable, especially the elderly, who have suffered the coronavirus pandemic so greatly.
The bishops dedicate part of their message to the elderly, noting that Pope Francis’ warning against the implications of a “throwaway culture” in our society must be considered. We must not forget, they add, that "the undue suffering experienced by the elderly members of our communities because of loneliness, anxiety, depression, worry and abandonment of different kinds weighs heavily upon the collective conscience of both our country and Church".
Lessons learnt
"Perhaps we have also gained a new appreciation for the basic human rights of health, social security, essential work and employment, education, health and religion" say the bishops, adding that these all contribute to the authentic dignity of the human person and the "necessary fabric" that promotes the common good.
The bishops continue stressing that the inter-connectedness of our human experience during this pandemic has led to "several opportunities as well as threats and temptations" that must be looked at honestly and frequently. They explain that what emerged at the beginning of the pandemic were the conditions in long-term care facilities and similar institutions that were particularly disturbing, "as government and healthcare authorities began to acknowledge".
Most upsetting, the bishops stress, and what has come to light is "the admission that this situation already existed long before COVID-19 appeared on the horizon".
This is an important lesson, say the bishops, especially for the younger generations: that "well before COVID-19, the elderly and the disabled were frequently excluded or forgotten, not only by society in general, but in many cases by their faith communities and even by their loved ones".
The bishops conclude their message by saying, "as we slowly return to a more normal way of life, let us not forget the elderly among us who still have so much wisdom to impart, faith to share, stories to tell and joys to offer. Let us create space in our hearts, homes, families and communities to honour them and truly care for them in their weakness and their many needs. Let us welcome their unique giftedness in building a world which is more human, loving, generous, forgiving, and radiant with God’s grace".

Share Your Blessings
Living the Gospel by supporting victims of domestic violence When a woman endures domestic violence, she may require a number of services all at once—counselling, legal aid, children's aid services, and childminding. The Safe Centre of Peel brings these and other services together in one secure location, helping hundreds of individuals every year. ShareLife funding of Catholic Family Services of Peel-Dufferin, one of 10 onsite agencies, helps ensure adults and children receive compassionate care in their time of need.
PAG For ShareLife Monthly PAG is a simplified way of contributing to ShareLife over the course of a year. Please contact the parish office via phone or email to make a contribution / information on how you can contribute or email the diocese at [email protected] or call 416-934-3411. Thank you supporting ShareLife! ___________________________________________

SJM Children’s Choir singing Virtually! The Lord is My Shepherd. Even though the pandemic made it impossible for the children to sing together, the little members took it
virtual. To keep them together and connected, our Music Director Julia Hauser, with the assistance of parents, made this wonderful video where our Children’s Choir came together- virtually. You can listen to this recording in our YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KAUTfh3MU8 Hope you enjoy and appreciate the effort to express and inspire the message that. “Though I walk the darkest path, I will not fear the evil one, for You are with me and Your rod and staff are comfort I need to know…excerpt from “The Lord is My Shepherd”, composed by Stuart Towend.
