Summer Food Drive
In partnership with our Catholic Women’s League, we’re hosting a Summer Food Drive to support Good Shepherd Hamilton.
Food banks often face shortages during the summer, as donations tend to come in around Thanksgiving and Christmas but drop off in the warmer months. This is our chance to help fill that gap and support our neighbours in need.
Donations will be collected beneath the statue of St. Joseph at the base of the sanctuary, starting at the 5:15 p.m. Mass on Saturday, June 21, and continuing through the 11:30 a.m. Mass on Sunday. We’ll keep collecting until Friday, June 27.
Most Needed Items:
Non-Perishable Food:
Canned proteins (tuna, salmon, chicken, beans, lentils)
Canned vegetables and fruit
Peanut butter and other nut butters
Pasta and pasta sauce
Rice and instant noodles
Cereal and oatmeal
Soup and stew (especially hearty or ready-to-eat)

Crackers and granola bars
Baby food and formula
Personal Care & Household Items:

We finish with consecration day on August 15th, the Feast of the Assumption!
Spaces are limited (10 spots only) so please RSVP at the form below to secure your spot!

It’s also a time for us to come together as a community to honour their accomplishments, thank them for their contributions, and offer our prayers and encouragement as they move forward.
As we commission our students out into the world, we do so with a sense of hope and trust—that they will continue to be a light in the world, grounded in faith, and ready to make a difference wherever they go.

Treasures of Heaven: Semi Formal Dinner Dance
As the school year winds down, we’re taking a moment to pause, celebrate, and give thanks—together. Chaplaincy students are invited to attend the End-of-Year Semi-Formal Dinner Dance, an evening of food, music, laughter, and good company, as we reflect on everything this past year has held.
This year’s theme is "Treasures of Heaven," drawn from Isaiah 40:31:
“But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles...”
It’s a reminder that even in the busyness and stress of student life, we’re called to something deeper—something eternal.
Come dressed in your semi-formal best and be ready for a night that’s both fun and faith-filled. We’ll enjoy a shared meal, hit the dance floor, and make a few more memories before summer begins. Whether you’ve been part of chaplaincy all year or just recently connected, you’re more than welcome.
We look forward to celebrating with you!

Come and experience the beauty and mystery of this sacred night as we proclaim: Christ is Risen! Alleluia!
