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)

  • 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.

You’re invited to an evening of faith, fellowship, and inspiration brought to you by the Catholic Women’s League (CWL). The night will begin with the 5:15 p.m. Mass, where we’ll come together in prayer and gratitude. After Mass, we’ll share a simple yet hearty pasta dinner with fresh salad and bread, giving us time to connect as a parish family.

Following dinner, we’ll enjoy the powerful documentary The Sound of Hope – The Story of Possum Trot. This inspiring film tells the true story of a small, faith-filled community that came together to adopt neglected children, forever changing lives. Halfway through the film, we’ll pause for an intermission to enjoy coffee, tea, and dessert together before continuing with the rest of this incredible story.

We are deeply grateful to the CWL for making this evening possible and for all the ways they bless our parish with their dedication and care. Please join us for this meaningful gathering and invite your family and friends to experience it with us!

Treasures of Heaven: Semi Formal Dinner Dance

Treasures of Heaven: Semi Formal Dinner Dance

  • Canadian Martyrs Catholic Church & Chaplaincy (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

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!
