Summer Food Drive

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

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.

Holy Hour for Victims of Sexual Abuse

  • Google Calendar ICS

Please join us for Holy Hour on Sunday, March 1 (following the 11:30 am Mass) to pray for the healing of survivors and victims of sexual abuse, perpetrated by those within the Church and beyond. May these efforts support the paths of human and spiritual recovery not only for victims and survivors, but also for families and communities similarly affected.

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
