29^th Sunday in Ordinary Time – October 17^th / 18^th  2020



 

Dear Parishioners of North Central Windsor Catholic Families of Parishes,

Thank you everyone for your Thanksgiving Appeal 2020  
On behalf of the Family of Parishes Finance Committee, I thank everyone who was able to give towards this year’s Annual Thanksgiving Appeal. 100% of all donations remain n the individual Parishes that the donation was made to. Given the present world situation that we all face I understand that some cannot give towards this campaign. I am truly grateful for your personal daily prayers for your Family of Parishes. For those who were able, thank you.  
 
We welcome the Catholic Chaldean Community to St. Theresa’s Church.  
Over the past few months, Bishop Soro, Eparch for the Catholic Chaldean Church throughout all of Canada has been in dialogue with Bishop Fabbro and I. With the rise in numbers of the Chaldean Community in East Windsor, Bishop Soro was looking for another place of worship for their regular Sunday Mass. In consultation with Bishop Fabbro we have offered Bishop Soro the use of St. Theresa’s Church for a three-month trial. Their Sunday evening mass will take place every Sunday at 6:00 p.m. Bishop Soro has made a commitment to compensate St. Theresa’s Church for the use of St. Theresa Church. Our Business Manager, Donna Marcotte, will be handling the administration with Bishop Soro and the Diocese of London.  
 
Thank you everyone for your birthday cards, texts, emails, phone messages, personal gifts and best wishes for my 58^th birthday on October 12^th.  
Your thoughtfulness, prayers and best wishes simply overwhelms myself with humility and gratefulness for my Priesthood and my Priestly Ministry here at North Central Windsor Catholic Family of Parishes.

An Act of Spiritual Communion

My Jesus, 
I believe that You
are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. 
I love You above all things, 
and I desire to receive You into my soul. 
Since I cannot at this moment
receive You sacramentally, 
come at least spiritually into my heart.
I embrace You as if You were already there
and unite myself wholly to You.
Never permit me to be separated from You.
Amen.
