Schedule Update for Lent

With Ash Wednesday taking place this week, it is important to note that there are two Masses this Wednesday: 9 AM and 7 PM.  The distribution of ashes will take place after each Mass.  Furthermore, Ash Wednesday is a day of fasting and abstinence.

Furthermore, during the Season of Lent, there will be Mass each Friday at 7 PM followed by the Stations of the Cross.

Christmas & New Year's Schedule

As mentioned at Mass this past weekend, there are 2 days of holy obligation outside of Sundays in Canada: Christmas and New Year's Day where the Church celebrates the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God.  If you attend Mass the evening before, this counts towards fulfilling that particular obligation.  Thus, it is important to note the times of the Christmas and New Year's (Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God) schedule.  The bulletin has the dates in addition to the homepage of the parish website.  For your convenience, the Mass times are listed below:
