A SPECIAL REQUEST
FROM SR. MARY


 
Sr. Mary McIntyre asks for your prayers for her Congregation, the Sisters of St. Joseph in Canada, as they gather for their Chapter of Affairs and Elections this week. This important meeting, held only once every four years, sets the direction for the Congregation until the next Chapter. The Chapter will take place from Sunday, October 5 to Friday, October 10.
 

 
Every week, a saint’s words offer a moment of reflection. Let their insight deepen your faith and understanding.

Current Week's Intentions 

Diocesan Vocations Month

October is Diocesan Vocations Month. Please pray for the men and women of our diocese who are discerning their vocations to marriage, priesthood, the permanent diaconate, the dedicated single life, and consecrated life, that is, as a consecrated virgin living in the world, or as a religious priest, sister or sister. Since it is also the month of Our Lady of the Rosary, you are encouraged to offer the Rosary, in particular, the Luminous Mysteries, for vocations. For more information about praying for vocations, visit: Pray for Vocations - Diocese of Hamilton . Blessed Virgin Mary, Our Lady of the Rosary and Mother of Vocations, pray for us!
