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, 6 June and continuing through the 11:30 a.m. Mass on Sunday on 14 June.
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)
Shelf-stable milk or milk alternatives
Crackers and granola bars
Baby food and formula
Personal Care & Household Items:
Toothpaste and toothbrushes
Soap and shampoo
Deodorant
Feminine hygiene products
Toilet paper
Diapers (sizes 4, 5, 6) and baby wipes
Let’s come together as a parish family to support those most vulnerable in our community. Every item makes a difference.

They’ve created a warm and welcoming atmosphere for everyone to enjoy. We also gratefully welcome donations of light refreshments and a little help with serving, in support of our wonderful CWL.

CMCES Graduation Mass
You're invited to join us for a special Grad Mass celebrating the achievements of the graduating students of Canadian Martyrs Catholic Elementary School! Please mark your calendars as we gather to honour the students' hard work and growth. It’s a beautiful opportunity for parents, family, and loved ones to come together in prayer and thanksgiving, supporting our grads as they prepare for the next chapter of their journey.

Litany to the Sacred Heart of Jesus
Join us every Friday morning in June at 11:15 a.m. for the Litany to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, as we begin Adoration. Everyone is welcome to participate in this special time of devotion and prayer.
Synodal Gathering
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.
