On Sunday the 12th of August we as a parish community will be celebrating the feast of St Lawrence. Mass will be at noon with fellowship and food in the church hall afterwards.
We are looking for volunteers and if you would like to donate food/dessert please contact the church office at 905-529-3921.

Every parish church is dedicated to the Lord by the act of consecration done by a bishop. Then the church receives a title. By the consecration a church building is separated from common and profane to a sacred use. Our parish church is dedicated to the Lord by the title of Saint Lawrence, Deacon and Martyr. As a parish community, each year we celebrate the Solemnity of Our Patron Saint on August 10th if it falls on Sunday, otherwise the celebration is transferred to the Sunday after August 10th. This year we will hold our annual solemnity on Sunday, August 12th. There will be a solemn Mass at noon followed by the Eucharistic procession and a social meal in the parish hall. To mark our annual feast, we will pray the Novena to St. Lawrence beginning from Wednesday, August 1st.

A novena is a series of public or private prayers that are said for nine days to obtain special graces, to implore special favours or to make special petitions. The word ‘novena’ comes from the Latin novem, which means ‘nine’. The nine-day prayer recalls the nine days that the Apostles along with the Blessed Virgin Mary and other women spent in prayer between the day of the Ascension of the Lord and Pentecost Sunday.
The Novena to St. Lawrence will be said daily from August 1st to August 9th during the Mass. Praying the Novena we will thank God for all the graces we have received since our last annual feast and we will implore special favours for our parish community.
