2nd Sunday of Lent
For each of us, Lent is a time of transformation, a time for growth into decipleship.
Through the challenges of Lent, we learn to see with Jesus’ eyes,
to discern needs and to respond freely in love to the many faces of pain and poverty we encounter.

Lay Faith Development Committee
Holy Name is looking for a representative to serve on the Lay Faith Development Committee which meets once every two months at the Diocesan Centre. The representative acts as a link between our Parish and the Archdicese, and other parishes within it. Meetings typically consist of an information component about upcoming events like World Youth Day and the Eucharistic Congress, and a round-table sharing of the various faith-based activities each parish is currently offering. For further information about this committee, please go to: http://www.romancatholic.kingston.on.ca and click on Lay Faith. If you are interested in serving on this committee please contact Fr.
