“Peace be with you”. These are the familiar first
words of Jesus to his disciples after the resurrection.
We do well to embrace these words in today’s
secular culture; a culture that is driven by fear and
anxiety; a culture that worships busyness and the
relentless pursuit of more and more material goods.
This pursuit never really satisfies. The stewardship
lifestyle is rooted in the peace of mind that can only
come from trusting in our good and gracious God
who provides for all of our needs. We find peace
and immense joy by gratefully accepting God’s gifts
and by generously sharing them.

40th Anniversary!!!
We offer
our congratulations to Father Bob as he
celebrates his 40th anniversary of
Ordination today, Sunday, May 11th.
40e anniversaire!!! Nous offrons
nos félicitations au Père Robert car il
célèbre son 40e anniversaire d’ordination
aujourd’hui le 11 mai.
4th Sunday of Easter:
Hearing the voice of
Christ. This season asks us to appreciate the presence of
Christ in the Sacraments of Initiation, to suffer for the sake
of the One who suffered for us, and to heed the voice of the
One who calls us to greener pastures.
4e dimanche de Pâques:
Jésus, porte de Dieu.
Le Christ se révèle comme porte, car il nous donne
instantanément accès à Dieu. Il veille sur nous afin que le
mal ne nous anéantisse pas et que le péché ne nous paralyse
pas non plus dans l’enclos de notre vie. Imitons le Christ
dans notre quotidien et donnons à nos semblables accès au bien.
Next Sunday’s readings are:
Acts 6:1-7; 1 Peter 2:4-9; John 14:1-12
Les lectures pour dimanche prochain:
Actes 6, 1-7; 1 Pierre 2, 4-9; Jean 14, 1-12

please call Katherine at 519-687-3118.
Interested in becoming a full member of
the Catholic Church? We will be beginning
our inquiry process for the R.C.I.A. shortly. There is no
commitment at this time – just a chance to “check out what
being Catholic is all about” and ask questions. Applications
are available from our Pastoral Minister or at the office.
Photo Directory:
Families of shut-ins are welcome
to submit a picture for the parish directory. Only the first
twenty pictures submitted will be at no cost as this is a special
offered by the company. The cost after that is $12.50 + HST
per picture (includes directory). If you know that you must
submit a picture to be included in our directory, please do so
as soon as possible by remitting it to the parish office.
Happy Mother’s Day
On this special day, we give thanks to our mothers for their
love and support. May their day be filled with joy and
friendship.
Blessed is the Mother,
Who lets the Lord
Be her guiding hand,
Whose faith brings
Her family the courage
to do God’s will,
And whose wisdom
comes from Him.

2013 Appeal
St. Peter’s Seminary was founded in 1912 and for over a
century has provided education and formation for our servant
-leaders: priests, permanent deacons, lay ministers, Catholic
educators and others. May 10th is World Day of Prayer for
Vocations and St. Peter’s Seminary is making an urgent
appeal for your support. You will find an appeal brochure
from St. Peter’s Seminary in our weekend bulletin. Please
open your heart to its message and give as generously as you
can. Whether or not you can give financially, please join us
in praying for vocations and especially for our priests and
deacons. If you are able to make a financial gift, mail your
donation in the attached self-addressed, postage-prepaid
envelope, or simply leave your envelope in the collection
basket. Your financial gifts and prayers will help ensure the
future of St. Peter’s Seminary and the Church that she serves.
Appel de fonds
Une fois l’an, le séminaire Saint-Peter lance un appel aux
paroissien(ne)s du diocèse de London.
Ce sont les
paroissien(ne)s qui ont rendu le séminaire possible en 1912 et
depuis, des générations qui ont su le soutenir de leurs dons.
Le séminaire a besoin que nous entendions son appel à l’aide.
Veuillez réfléchir à l’importance du séminaire Saint-Peter en
tant que source de formation et d’éducation pour les prêtres,
les diacres permanents, les laïques engagés dans la pastorale
et l’ensemble du personnel de la paroisse.
Annuaire Photographique:
Nous invitons les
familles des personnes qui ne peuvent pas venir se faire
photographier de nous présenter une photo pour l’annuaire
photographique de la paroisse. Les premières vingt photos
seront gratuites, mais après cela, le coût est 12,50$ par photo
(annuaire inclus). Si vous savez qu’une photo sera remise,
veuillez svp la remettre le plutôt possible au bureau paroissial.
Le Cercle missionnaire Ste-Thérèse-de-Lisieux aura sa
vente de pâtisserie le 17 et 18 mai après les messes. Comme
dans le passé vous pouvez nous appuyer en apportant de vos
pâtisseries ou en venant en acheter. Merci à l'avance pour
votre appui.
The Ste-Thérèse-de-Lisieux Mission Club will be holding
it's annual bake sale on Saturday May 17
and Sunday May 18 after all masses. As
always, you can support us either by
bringing some of your baked goods or by
stopping by and buying some of
ours. We thank you in advance for your
continued support.
Thank you!
The Squirettes of Mary would like
to thank all those of our parish community, friends, and
family who gave so freely to support our recent bake
sale. Funds raised for the Windsor Regional Hospital's
Child Life Services totalled $261.00. This donation
will assist the program in providing additional funds to
purchase items such as board games, DVDs, magazine
subscriptions, stuffed animals, and supplies! The girls
would also like to extend appreciation to past members
and councillors of the circle who joined in
commemorating the 25th anniversary of Circle 1002 by
attending our Crowning of Mary Mass and in
celebrating at our annual Pasta Dinner. Again, we
continue to be grateful for the support of our families,
friends, and the parish community in making this event
a well-attended opportunity for continued fellowship!
The 2013 Financial Report
for the St. Joachim
