Dear Friends of the Canada Sri Lanka Catholic Association Ontario
After the blessed Lent and Easter we are getting united for our Annual Pilgrimage at Martyrs' Shrine which will happen on 23rd July 2017. With the grace of God our dear Bishop Rt. Rev. Cletus Chandrasiri Perera (Bishop of Rathnapura), will be here as our main celebrant.
As we all know this year is very significant in many aspects. Canada is celebrating 150th birthday; 100 years for Fatima apparition; 50 years for Charismatic Renewal, 175 years for Archdiocese of Toronto and 5 years for Canada Sri Lanka Catholic Association Ontario.
Our family retreat has been arranged for Adults and Youth separately on Sunday July 16th, from 3pm – 6pm ending with Holy mass at 6pm.
As we can see these are all the graces that we have received from God. We are inviting all of your families, friends, relatives, and coworkers etc to give thanks to our gentle, loving, kind mother who is the dispenser of all graces.
We understand you all are excited to join us as one family. Please have a look at the attachment for more details.
We would like your participation especially as Altar Servers, Volunteers, and the offertory Possession. If you are willing to participate in the offertory, you may bring something you wish to offer to the Lord and bring it up to the Altar during the offertory procession. Please inform us about your participation.
We look forward to seeing you with your family and friends at both these events. Please forward this information to all your friends and family.
