19th Sunday in Ordinary Time
Summer is the time when most people stop to rest, relax and enjoy.
We store up energy for times when the sunshine seems far away.
We need to find the time and space to have a ‘summer moment’ with God.
Today’s readings invite us to be touched by the gentle breeze,
and become aware of God’s presence in ordinary moments–in the beauty of nature,
the love of a friend–in our Eucharistic Celebration.

Many Thanks to Father Lloyd Cummings who will be celebrating weekend Masses with us until Father Cosmas returns.

NOVENA: Pauline Burns will be leading a Novena to the Blessed Virgin in St. Joseph’s Room on Wednesdays, at 1:00 pm until September 10th. Please join us any Wednesday you are available! Prayers will be offered for parishioners and anyone else who wishes to attend. Everyone welcome!

Thank you to all who continue to bring food items every weekend for the St. Vincent de Paul Society. They report that our food is not on the shelf very long. Poor families are truly in need. Thank you for helping them. (Matthew 25:35" I was hungry and you fed me”.)

Thank you for praying for our Armed Forces
The following have returned home safely:
Serge St. Jacques, Brody Macdonald, Boyd Carter, Mike McBride, Will Graydon , Robert Olivier,
Steve Mariano, David Hannan, Charles Rae & Sam Mizuno.
Please continue to pray for those now serving in foreign lands:

John Andrews, Brad Post, Sonny Hatton & Brandon Kew.
Keep praying for the safe return of all those serving overseas.
