Please join us on Sunday, June 21st after the 11:30am Mass for a Synodal Gathering. We are inviting parishioners to reflect on how our community supports their faith and growth, and to listen to God’s call and dreams for our future.
Rather than creating action plans, the Synodal Gathering will be a time to prayerfully reflect on what God is already doing in our lives and community, and to slow down and open ourselves to hear how the Holy Spirit is moving in our midst. We will do this through listening to and sharing the Spirit’s call in our own hearts, and paying attention to how the Spirit speaks through others.
Canadian Martyrs Parish’s mission is “Inviting, Forming and Sending.. Disciples of Jesus Christ,” and we would love to see you on June 21st to reflect on how our community is helping you live this mission in your own lives and how the Spirit wishes to help us achieve this mission in the future.
Registration is required if you wish to attend. We will be in touch with more information a week before the event, and provide the questions we will discuss. The deadline for registration is June 16th.
