SAINTS PETER AND PAUL, APOSTLES Reflecting on our Archdiocesan Pastoral Plan Core Direction #1 – Parish Life Our parishes are spiritual homes where we meet one another to encounter Christ. Our plan calls on us to make our 225 parishes places of welcome and hospitality, both for those who are with us each week and those who return home after many years. We will prepare ourselves with care each week to celebrate the sacraments and encourage attentive and active participation from everyone. We will support our priests and deacons as they lead the way, and when asked to assist, we will respond. It’s important that we celebrate the many parishes already engaged in outreach ministries and programs that support the family, the domestic church. Visit www.archtoronto.org/parishlife to view the eight goals associated with “Parish Life”. SUMMER TIME!!! We are now firmly in the summer season, the traditional time for vacation and relaxation. I hope that each of you finds some time to “get away from it all,” so that you can be refreshed and renewed. As you head to the shore, the mountains, or another favorite vacation spot, please don’t forget us here at home. We still continue to pay our bills. Your continued support is needed and greatly appreciated. VOLUNTEERS NEEDED! Parish Finance Council assists the pastor in the administration of parish temporal matters. An active, well-formed Parish Finance Council is a key element for promoting the financial health of a parish, assuring accountability and assisting the pastor with his temporal responsibilities. Members of the Parish Finance Council should be chosen based on demonstrable skills or expertise in management and/or finance. If you have an expertise to share with the community, please call the office or see Fr. Lorenzo. Planning to be a Catholic Teacher? It is critical for you to know that to be hired to teach in any Catholic school board in Ontario, as part of your application for employment there must be a letter of reference from your pastor. If you (or if your adult child) is planning to apply to teach in a Catholic school, it is highly recommended you contact the pastor before Thanksgiving. Please plan to have a conversation with your pastor early in the process and you will avoid disappointment and stress at the time when applications are to be submitted. Pastor’s reference policy is available at the office.
