Today we honor the immense love God has for each one of us as it is symbolized in the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Let us listen attentively to God’s word speaking to us of that love.

FR. JOSEPH MULDOON’S FAREWELL - The time is rapidly approaching when Father Joe will be leaving us – so let’s party while he is still here!!  Join us in the social space on Saturday June 14th at 6:30 p.m. (after the 5:00 p.m. Mass).  This is our opportunity to show Father our gratitude, share memories and wish him well as he continues God’s work as Episcopal Vicar of the Archdiocese of Ottawa.  There will be food, drink, entertainment and a presentation on behalf of the parish.  Baskets will be provided to receive your personal best wishes, should you wish to do so.  So come and join the celebration!!
