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

Synodal Gathering: Forward Together in Christ

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

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.
