C’est le temps de s’inscrire au caté !
Inscrire son enfant au caté, c'est lui permettre de rencontrer Jésus et de
découvrir que Dieu aime chacun d'entre nous; c'est lui faire connaître la
richesse de la tradition chrétienne. C'est aussi lui donner l'occasion de
réfléchir aux questions qu'il se pose sur lui-même, le monde et Dieu.
Avec d'autres chrétiens : enfants, adultes,
catéchètes, prêtres...
Comment inscrire son enfant aux parcours
catéchétiques?
Si votre enfant a sept ans et plus.
Prendre contact avec Carole B. Roy en
appelant le 514-683-4941 ou par internet

Nous vous encourageons d’inscrire votre
enfant immédiatement afin que nous
puissions bien préparer son accueil au mois
de septembre.

THE ANGELS OF MERCY is a parish organization which operates from
November to May providing a healthy meal and warm clothing to the
homeless people of Montreal. We are in need of a bookkeeper and an
assistant to the Director. These are not time consuming positions.
Please consider becoming a part of this wonderful ministry and joining
us in making a difference in the lives of our homeless brothers and
sisters, by being the hands and feet of Jesus. Catherine Lemieux

to welcoming you on board!

Angels of Mercy
You are in our prayers!
Mission
In the coming weeks, we will reach out to every home on the territory of St.
Luke’s parish. We will be delivering a short letter that says, we pray for them. If
people wish, they may send us a prayer intention by email or just write their
prayer intention on plain paper and bring it to the office. We will pray regularly
for them by a petition at Sunday mass.
In this letter we will also invite people to come to five prayer gatherings at 8:00
pm on the following dates: October 18th and November 15th, 2016; January
17th, March 21st and May 16th, 2017. This is will be a 20 minute prayer
gathering, followed by a time of fellowship. Everyone is welcome.
Through this activity our hope is to attain 2 goals:
1. Support everyone with our prayer who is living in St. Luke’s parish;
2. Reach out to new people who don’t come to church. It is our humble wish to
evangelize and hope that people who don’t come to church will now come to live
their faith.
There are about 10 000 homes on the territory of our parish. We need about 150
volunteers to deliver a copy of this letter. Each one would deliver 50 to 100
letters. After, this week’s mass and the following weekends in September, you
may register for this task in the parish hall.
For more information: Fr Bertrand, Maria Ruocco or Tony Rettino by
email: [email protected]
Nous prions pour vous!
Mission
Au cours des prochaines semaines, nous souhaitons livrer une lettre à toutes les
résidences sur le territoire de la paroisse Saint-Luc afin de leur dire que nous
prions pour eux. S’ils les gens le souhaitent, ils pourront nous envoyer une
intention de prière par courriel ou en l’écrivant sur une feuille qu’ils
l’apporteront au bureau. Nous prierons régulièrement pour eux par une intention
à la messe du dimanche.
Sur cette lettre, nous invitons également les gens à venir à 5 moments de prière à
20h00 aux dates suivantes : 18 octobre et 15 novembre 2016 ; 17 janvier, 21
mars et 16 mai
2017. Ce n’est pas une masse mais une prière d’environ 20 minutes suivie d’un
moment de fraternité. Tout le monde est bienvenu.
Par cette activité, nous voulons atteindre 2 objectifs :
1. Soutenir de notre prière tous ceux qui vivent dans la paroisse Saint-Luc;
2. Rejoindre de nouvelles personnes qui ne viennent pas à l’église. Nous
souhaitons humblement évangéliser et nous espérons que de nouvelles personnes
viendront vivre leur foi à notre église.
Nous avons environ 10 000 résidences sur le territoire de notre paroisse. Il faut
environ 150 bénévoles pour livrer chacun 50 à 100 lettres. Après la messe, cette
semaine et les autres week-ends de septembre, vous pouvez vous inscrire dans la
salle paroissiale afin d’accomplir cette tâche.
Pour nous plus d’information, contactez : abbé Bertrand, Maria Ruocco ou
Tony Rettino par courriel : [email protected]

St. Ignatius have been creatively adapted to accompany people in
every stage of their spiritual journey. The First Spiritual Exercises

a common theme of inner peace which are based upon daily
prayer and spiritual conversation to share that experience.
Participants in this workshop hear first-hand, from the creator of
the FSE, how to offer them in and for a variety of life situations.
This workshop will describe how prayer exercises and spiritual
conversation are taught to groups, as well as how facilitators are
trained to lead people through the FSE and prepare others for this
ministry.
Friday, October 14, from 7 to 9 pm and Saturday, October 15,
from 9 am to 4 pm (please bring a lunch).
At Loyola High School, 7272 Sherbrooke St. West. Cost $60. To
