Always pray to have eyes that see the BEST in people,
A HEART that forgives the worst,
A MIND that forgets the bad,
And a SOUL that never loses faith in God.

 Dear Parishioners of North Central Windsor Catholic Families of Parishes,

Bishop Fabbro has asked all Pastor’s to inform their parishioners, that during these unpredictable days, the Sunday Mass will be live streamed from Assumption Parish each Sunday at 11:00 a.m. You simply go to their Website https://assumptionparish.ca/ and you can participate in the Sunday liturgy from your homes.

I wish to share with all parishioners a conversation I recently had with Donna Marcotte, our Family of Parishes Business Manager.

Donna has informed me that she has received numerous calls from parishioners asking how they can continue to financially support their Church during this time of extreme turbulence knowing very well that we presently have no Sunday offertory. She wishes to let all parishioners know that she has made available on our website for Our Lady of Guadalupe, Most Precious Blood, Sts. Cyril & Methodius and St. Theresa’s parishioners that there is a donate button – donations through Canada Helps. San Juan Diego could not be set up because we are still waiting for their charitable donation number. All four parishes can also receive donations to the parish by e-transfer. It has been set up that they will be automatically deposited to the bank account for whatever parish people choose to donate to. They do so through their bank accounts using the parish email to send it to.

To assist you I include the following email addresses:

Most Precious Blood email – mpbwin@dol.ca

Our Lady of Guadalupe email – olog@dol.ca

St. Theresa e-mail – sttheresa@dol.ca

Sts. Cyril & Methodius email – stscyrilmethodius@dol.ca

The Family Website – www.ncwcf.dol.ca

 I am hoping that her response to these phone calls would be satisfactory for now.

I wish to thank Donna for making this possible to anyone who may be interested.

Father David, Father Len and I celebrate Mass frequently alone in the rectory for all your intentions, for the medical personnel assisting the sick, for an end to the outbreak and those affected by the virus.

I wish to inform the parishioners of Our Lady of Guadalupe that I received a memo from our contractor, WINCON CONSTRUCTION that effective immediately, they have decided that for the safety of everyone involved with this project, that it will be placed on hold. They will assess the conditions per the government recommendations on a daily basis.

May Jesus, Mary and Joseph guide our thoughts and actions as we work together as citizens with others in our communities to take measure to minimize the spread of COVID-19.

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.
