Catholic Action Montreal:  Late Sunday Mass
Don't worry about missing Mass if your plans take you away on sunny summer Saturdays!  Catholic Action Montreal's Late Sunday Mass is happy to welcome you every Sunday evening at St Willibrord's, 8:00pm.
 




 

Awaken are evenings of praise and worship, teaching, and prayer taking place at three different parishes at the beginning of June.  Hosted by two priests and eight seminarians of the Companions of the Cross, this is a great way to re-enter Ordinary Time fully fired up with the Holy Spirit!  
 



Summer Activities for Families, Youth, and Children
The Parish of Holy Name of Jesus has opened registrations for Camp Savio (for children ages 6-12).

Over the course of the whole summer, the Dominus Vobiscum Catholic Family Foundation has multiple opportunities for families to relax, reconnect, and recharge in a faith-filled environment.

The Lac Simon Summer Camp Foundation offers young people (ages 10-12) in need the opportunity to live a summer camp experience far from the pressures of the city.  The two-week stay (Boys:  July 1-15 / Girls: July 15-29) is offered free of charge, and parents are invited but not obligated to make an anonymous contribution if they are able.

The Wardens met this past week with Father Raymond Lafontaine, who is our interim Parochial Administrator.

We will keep all the parishioners informed of the ongoings at the parish as we move forward.  A meeting between the Administrators and Wardens of both St Thomas More and St Willibrord will be organized in the coming weeks, as well as a Parishioners' Meeting at St Thomas More towards the end of the summer.

The Financial Report for the first third of 2023 was approved at the most recent Wardens' meeting.

Presently, the most pressing information to highlight immediately is that our financial situation remains in dire straits.

The Month of Mary


In the Catholic Church, the month of May is dedicated to Mother Mary.  Discover How to Celebrate Our Blessed Mother This Month with Father Mark-Mary of the Franciscan Friars of Renewal.

From the Cross, Jesus himself gave Mary and her motherhood as a gift to the Church.  He entrusted us to her maternal protection and love, and her to our filial honor right before his death:
When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing beside her, he said to his mother, “Woman, here is your son.”
Then he said to the disciple, “Here is your mother.” And from that hour the disciple took her into his own home.

John 19:26-27

In the Blessed Mother we have the greatest example of faith, hope, and love to follow as we journey towards Heaven. 

Holy Mary, our hope and handmaid of the Lord, pray for us!
