Mary's Baby Shower: A Heartfelt Tradition of Giving
The spirit of giving and community at Canadian Martyr & McMaster's Saint Kateri University Student Centre is once again shining bright as we gear up for a heartwarming event – Mary's Baby Shower. This cherished tradition, rooted in compassion and the Catholic faith, has been a beacon of support for young mothers in need.
Back in 2019, some of our students from the chaplaincy joined hands to create a special initiative. They lovingly crafted baby items to donate to mothers in need, inspired by the life of Our Lady, who, as a young mother, had very little but a heart full of love. Just like the Holy Family, who sought refuge in a foreign land, these young mothers too face unique challenges and are in need of our help and support.
Rikka, former McMaster Chaplaincy leader, talks about the genesis of Mary’s Baby Shower.
The students, drawing inspiration from this powerful connection, decided to launch “Mary's Baby Shower.” This heartwarming donation drive is an invitation to the community to contribute much-needed baby items for young mothers who have courageously chosen to give birth despite the pressures to choose otherwise.
At all the Masses on the weekend of November 29th, we invite you to participate in Mary's Baby Shower. We will accept items throughout the week, however. Please bring items such as diapers, wipes, onesies, bibs, and other necessities, along with new infant outfits – all of which will be cherished by these young mothers. Let's remember that every little contribution is a step towards making a difference in their lives.
We kindly request that food items be excluded from the donations. Instead, we ask for your generous support to make 'Mary's Baby Shower' a resounding success. All the items collected will be given to Regina’s Place, a program run by Good Shepherd Ministries.
-
✔ baby wipes
✔ diapers (size 4-6)
✔ any hygiene supplies (e.g., shampoo, body wash, etc.) for adults or children/babies
✔ pencil crayons, markers, pens, small notebooks
✔ laundry soap, fabric softener sheets
✔ craft supplies, e.g., glue sticks, stickers, etc.
✔ bibs
✔ face cloths
✔ receiving blankets
As we approach this beautiful season of giving, let's come together as a community to support and uplift those in need, following the example of Our Lady and the Holy Family. Your contributions will make a world of difference in the lives of young mothers and their precious little ones.

Bambinelli Sunday
Bambinelli Sunday, celebrated on the Third Sunday of Advent, is a tradition started by Pope St. John Paul II. Families bring the Baby Jesus (Bambinelli), from their home Nativity sets to church for a special blessing. It’s a way to invite God’s grace into your homes, and it reminds us that Christ is at the heart of Christmas.
At all the Masses this weekend, we’ll celebrate this beautiful tradition at Canadian Martyrs. As you take your Bambinelli home and place them in the Nativity scene, you are symbolically preparing your heart and home for the arrival of Christ at Christmas. Let’s celebrate together, deepening our Advent journey with this cherished tradition!
Coffee Sunday

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!

Holy Saturday Easter Vigil
The Easter Vigil is the most beautiful and profound liturgy of the Church year. On this holy night, we move from darkness to light, from death to resurrection, as we celebrate Christ’s victory over sin and death.
This solemn and joyful Mass begins in darkness with the blessing of the Easter fire and the lighting of the Paschal Candle. We listen to the story of salvation through Scripture, welcome new members into the Church through Baptism, and rejoice in the Risen Christ.
Come and experience the beauty and mystery of this sacred night as we proclaim: Christ is Risen! Alleluia!
Good Friday of The Lord’s Passion
