Movie Night: The Sound of Hope – The Story of Possum Trot
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!

Synodal Gathering: Forward Together in Christ
Parishioners are invited to join us for a Synodal Meeting, a parish gathering focused on practicing synodal listening—a way of sharing and reflecting together as a faith community. The discussion will be based on Forward Together in Christ, a synthesis of synodal conversations from the Hamilton Diocese (read all about it here).
The goal is to engage in prayerful listening and thoughtful sharing, rather than creating action plans. Parishioners should read the document beforehand to better participate in the guided small-group discussions, reflecting on key themes and how they resonate personally and as a community.
We will be distributing the booklet the weekend of March 8/9. Please RSVP below, so we have an idea of how many to expect.

Prayer for Victims of Abuse
Praise to you, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
source of all consolation and hope.
By your Sons’s dying and rising
he remains our light in every darkness,
our strength and every weakness. Be the refuge and guardian
of all who suffered from abuse and violence.
Comfort them and send them healing
for their wounds of body, mind, and spirit.
Rescue them from bitterness and shame
and refresh them with your love.
Heal the brokeness in all victims of abuse
and revive the spirits of all who lament this sin.
Help us to follow Jesus
in drawing good from evil, life from death.
Make us one with you in your love for justice
as we deepen our respect
for the dignity of every human life.
Giver of peace, make us one
in celebrating your praise,
both now and forever. Amen.
