Twenty Ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time
2nd Collection This Weekend Singers Welcome - 11 am Choir
In Support of World Missions
On World Mission Sunday, Christians throughout the world
focus attention on the great needs of the Church in the
Developing World. We encourage prayer, personal sacrifice
and generous financial support which are so vitally needed
by more than 1,150 dioceses throughout Asia, Africa, the
Pacific Islands and remote regions of Latin America .
World Mission Sunday celebrates our unity as a human
family and provides an opportunity to support the life-giving
presence of missionaries and of the Church among the
suffering and the poor of the Missions. We are all
encouraged to live out our Baptismal call to be missionaries
by supporting the Church’s worldwide missionary outreach
in prayer and sacrifice.
World Mission Sunday encourages prayer and financial
support for the missionary work of the Catholic Church
throughout the world. Our support provides: places of
prayer and worship, improved health care and education for
the poor of the world, support for missionaries and provides
the training of thousands of catechists who teach, share and
support the faith B on our behalf.
Shut-in Visiting Ministry
Our Lady of Sorrows Parish has a Ministry to address the
spiritual and emotional needs of the sick, elderly and shut-in
of the parish. The Ministry of Shut-in Visiting is an
outreach of the Ministers of Holy Communion. These
appointed people visit and bring Holy Communion to those
who are unable to join their Parish family in the liturgical
celebration of Eucharist.
This Ministry is available to parishioners who reside in the
vicinity of the church. Please contact the parish office for
more information.
Stewardship
All discipleship involves mission. The bishops’ pastoral letter
on stewardship reminds us, “Every member of the Church is
called to evangelize, and the practice of authentic Christian
stewardship inevitably leads to evangelization.”
The music of this group (a chorale) will be in support of
the Sunday liturgy. The most Important quality we are
looking for is the desire to serve the Church and God
generously with the talent one has been given.
Interested singers are invited to call the parish office at
416-231-6016. Gordon Mansell will then set up an
interview and audition. A commitment of eight week
blocks would be acceptable.
Disaster Relief
The Philippines and Indonesia are both suffering the
results of recent natural disasters. The ShareLife office is
accepting monetary donations to support disaster relief
efforts and is directing funds through the Catholic
Church’s official international relief network, Caritas
Internationalis. Those wishing to make a financial
contribution may do so:

OR ShareLife - OLS - Sumatra Earthquake Relief - Indonesia
We offer our prayers for the thousands of families
affected. Be assured that ShareLife does not apply any
administrative fees to humanitarian relief contributions,
ensuring as much money as possible is directed towards
assistance of those in crisis.
Conquest Boys Club
OLS is launching a Conquest Boys Club for boys aged 6-
12 - Monday nights at OLS School. Conquest is based on
Catholic principles of spiritual development. Its programs
are designed to instill virtue, develop character and
