Holy Hour on World Day of Prayer of Vocations

The 57th World Day of Prayer for Vocations takes place Sunday, May 3, 2020. The purpose of this Day of Prayer is to publicly celebrate vocations to ordained ministry and religious life in all its forms. 

Bishop Gerard Bergie reminds all the faithful to pray for an increase of vocations to the priesthood, diaconate, and consecrated life in our diocese of Saint Catharines. Although we cannot be present physically, the Bishop invites all to join spiritually in prayer and adoration. 
On Sunday, May 3, there will be a Holy Hour at 3 p.m. in the Cathedral to celebrate The World Day of Prayer for Vocations. This will be live streamed. For more information, go to https://www.thecathedralinstcatharines.com.

Palm Sunday distribution of palms cancelled

5/4/2020

 
Due to the declaration of a state of emergency in the Niagara Region with new restrictions, the planned 'drive-through' distribution of palms has had to be cancelled.

Let us always keep Christ and His Passion in our hearts as we observe these necessary safeguards for the common good.

Palm Sunday 2020

2/4/2020

 
Dear Friends,

Holy Week is upon us! We are entering the most sacred days of our Church Year. Sadly, we cannot get together to celebrate as a community. I am celebrating a Mass each evening at 7:00, and it is broadcast live through my Facebook profile (Power Gerry). 

On Palm Sunday at 9:00 a.m., I will be celebrating a Blessing of Palms. This will also be through a live feed on my Facebook profile. 

Beginning at 11:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. on Palm Sunday, I invite our parishioners to take a drive to St. Patrick Church parking lot and pick up your Blessed Palms. Please follow the instructions below. 

Instructions

Please enter the back parking lot on Huron Street. Continue through the gates to the playground parking lot in single file; and exit on Maple Street in front of the school. Someone will pass your Palms to you. 

If you wish to drop off your Sunday Offertory envelopes, you may wish to do so at this time as well. 

May God bless all of you and keep you safe. Until we meet again, may God hold you in the hollow of his hand! 

In Christ,

Fr. Gerard
