3rd Sunday in Ordinary Time:
Today’s
reading from the First Letter of Paul to the Corinthians
reminds us that, by virtue of our baptism, we are members of
Christ’s body. We have a sacred duty and solemn obligation
to use the unique gifts and talents God has given us to further
the work and mission of the Church. Mindful of this, let us
share our gifts generously so many others might come to
know Jesus.
3e dimanche du temps ordinaire:
La Parole
est dans nos mains. Dans la synagogue de Nazareth, Jésus
s’engage à «accomplir» la Bonne Nouvelle annoncée par le
prophète Isaïe. Aujourd’hui, oserons-nous, nous aussi, nous
engager à «accomplir» la Bonne Nouvelle dans nos vies?

Dear Parishioners: Due to increased cost of food,
we have no other choice but to increase the price of our

This will be the first time that we have had to increase the
price since we started doing the parish breakfast. Where can
you go and have a hot breakfast that includes meat, potatoes,
eggs, coffee/tea, juice and dessert for $6.00? It’s still a deal!
We thank you for your support in the past and hope that you
will continue to support the Parish Breakfast.

signatures from a wide spectrum of Canadians who agree
with the principles outlined in the Declaration. I encourage

Chers paroissiens:
En raison de l'augmentation du
coût de la nourriture, nous n’avons pas d'autre choix que de
lever le prix de nos déjeuners paroissiaux. Commençant le 14
février 2016, le prix d'un billet va monter à 6,00 $. C’est la
première fois que nous avons besoin d’augmenter le prix
depuis que nous avons commencé à faire les déjeuners. Où
pouvez-vous aller prendre un déjeuner chaud qui comprend
de la viande, les pommes de terre, des œufs, café / thé, du jus
et le dessert pour $ 6.00? C’est encore un très bon prix.
Nous vous remercions pour votre appui et nous espérons que
vous continuerez à soutenir les déjeuners paroissiaux.
