Annual Mass with New Catholics
All are invited to participate in a special Mass with Catholics
who celebrate initiation at Easter. The Mass is Sun. April 27th
at 4 pm. At the Cathedral Basilica of Christ the King, 714 King
St. W. Hamilton. A light reception will follow.
MARRIAGE TIP OF THE MONTH
Our marriages are supposed to reflect, through our love for
each other, how much God loves each person. Showing this
Godly love can sometimes be a challenge, especially when our
human selves are less than perfect! When we set our minds to
consciously changing how we act, we can do better. Pope
Francis encourages us to, “Set your stakes on great ideals, the
ideals that enlarge the heart, the ideals of service that makes
your talents fruitful…do not be afraid to dream great things!”
Dream great things for your marriage and your love will
flourish as God intended!
PARENTING TIP OF THE MONTH
Easter is a wonderful time to help our children understand the
power of love and forgiveness, shown to us by the death and
Resurrection of Christ. As children of God they too are called
to love others, especially their family members, and to offer
forgiveness when someone hurts or offends them. Remind them
that Easter teaches us to remember that when difficulties come
into our lives, as they will, we must have faith that life will get
better. The message of Easter, through the Resurrection, is that
with faith and prayer, life’s crosses can be overcome. A
wonderful message for every child to understand!
Last year there were FOUR BUS LOADS that went
from this area to Ottawa. If you have been there
before for this event, you know how exciting and inspiring this event is. If you haven’t been there yet, you can
come with us and take part in what has been the one of the largest annual demonstrations ever in Ottawa.
Last year there were approximately 25,000 Pro-Life Supporters that took part. We encourage you to call and
reserve your seat early. This will help insure that there is a place for everyone, and no one will be
disappointed.
