1. Rectory Windows
The window replacement at the rectory began this
past week. All 52 windows are being replaced - It
should certainly help with the heating costs this
winter!
1. Janelas da Casa paroquial
A substituição de janelas na reitoria começou na
semana passada. Todas elas, (52 janelas) estão
sendo substituídos - Isto certamente deve ajudar
com os custos de aquecimento este inverno!
2. Advent Resources
With the beginning of Advent next weekend, you
will find a number of resources in the Narthex to
help you prepare for the great feast of Christmas.
2. Recursos do Advento
Com o início do Advento no próximo fim de
semana, você vai encontrar uma série de recursos
no tapa vento para ajudá-los a preparar para a
grande festa de Natal.
3. Refugees
With the events in Paris last weekend, someone
expressed a concern regarding bringing refugees to
Canada. I am sure that our government will be
doing due diligence regarding this issue, before
additional refugees are brought to Canada.
4. First Reconciliation
Please pray for the young people who will be
making their First Reconciliation during the season
of Advent.
5. Parish Communal Penance
We will be having our Communal Penance for
Advent on Wednesday, Dec. 9th at 7:00 PM. There

Have a great week!

Book of Life
During the month of November, we prepare ourselves to
pray for our deceased relatives and friends. You are
invited to enrol the names of departed relatives and
friends in the Book of Life. They will be remembered
during the month of November at
all Masses.
Livro da Vida
Durante o mês de Novembro, nos
preparamos para rezar por os
nossos parentes e amigos falecidos. Estão convidados a
escriver os nomes dos seus parentes e amigos falecidos
no Livro da Vida. Eles serão lembrados em todas as
missas durante o mês de Novembro.
3. Refugiados
Com os acontecimentos em Paris na semana
passada, alguém expresso uma preocupação sobre
trazendo refugiados para o Canadá. Estou certo de
que o nosso governo vai fazer o que deve com
diligência em relação a esta questão, antes de mais
refugiados são trazidos para o Canadá.
4. Primeira Reconciliação
Por favor, rezam para os jovens que estarão fazendo
a sua primeira confissão durante o tempo do
Advento.
5. Penitência Communial
Vamos ter o nosso Serviço de Penitência
Communial para o Advento na Quarta - feira, 9 de
Dezembro as 7 horas. Haverá um número de

Tenha uma ótima semana!
