PASTOR’S MESSAGE.
Hello, dear parishioners and friends: how are you doing? I hope and
pray that everyone is doing well. I always keep you all in my
prayers. I am glad to see you in the church in person and I pray for
all who participate in our Masses online (parishioners and guests).
I missed you! Let us
stay together during this special time supporting each other and
keep everyone in our daily prayers. May God always bless you!
The Knights of Columbus
Council would like to take the opportunity to share a
documentary entitled “St Joseph: Our Spiritual Father”.
We believe that you will find it to be both informative and
inspirational. We hope that you can find time to view it
and to gain a deeper understanding and appreciation for St.
Joseph, the protector and provider of the holy family. Copy

January
18-25. January is a month when
Christians around the world pay particular attention to the
unity of the Church. Specifically, Christians dedicate an
entire week during the month to pray for unity among the
followers of Jesus and especially to overcome historical and
present divisions that exist between church communities.
The 2022 theme for the Week of Prayer for
Christian Unity, “We saw the star in the East, and we came
to worship him” (Mt 2:2), was prepared by the Middle East
Council of Churches, based in Beirut, Lebanon. The
international theme and resources speak to our world’s
urgent need for solidarity and transformation in the face of
political, economic, and social turmoil, including the
challenges and injustices highlighted by the COVID-19
pandemic. As we join the Christians of the Middle East in
the journey to Christ’s manger, may we become a sign of the
unity that God desires for all creation, and may we return
to our home, our churches, and our world by new ways.

Have you ever wondered what the Bible teaches
about what will happen at the End of Time? Many Catholics have
heard about “the Rapture,” the coming of the “Anti-christ,” and
the Second Coming, but are unsure exactly what to believe about
these topics. Moreover, while Protestant Christians are often
well-versed in the study of the “end times,” Catholics are often
unfamiliar with what the Bible actually teaches. Many Christians
are unaware that the Catholic Church has very explicit teachings
about the Tribulation, the Antichrist, the Second Coming, and
the New Creation.
If you’ve ever wondered about where this world is
heading and what the ultimate destiny of humanity is, then you
don’t want to miss this powerful study of the truth about what
the Bible and the Catholic Church teach about the last days.

Jesus is our savior, our redeemer, our Lord, and
our God. Our belief in Jesus is what makes us who we are as
Catholics, as Christians, but do we really know him as we
should? Is Jesus a part of your life, or is he at the center of
your life as he should be? We invite you to make him the center
of your life by joining us for Jesus: The Way, the Truth, and
the Life, a 10-week video study program that
explores the entirety of Jesus’ life and what he means for us as
Catholics today.

Take a moment during your busy days to remove
yourself once a month from that business of today’s life and come
and spend some quality time with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament in
St. Matthew Church. Prayer and meditation before our Lord in the
Blessed Sacrament are great ways to
spend some special time with
Jesus. You can ask Him for graces for yourself or for
loved ones, reflect on His Word, or just keep Him company silently!
Offer your precious time to Him - come for Adoration. Will you spend
an hour with Jesus? Will you come?

We’ve all been shaken by
the news from Kamloops and the horrific discovery made
at the former Kamloops Residential School. It’s reopened
old wounds that never really healed, and that are still
extremely painful.
Watch this video about our seminarian JD Carmichael
JD Carmichael had his whole life planned out. A great
career, a house, and plenty of outdoor hobbies. Watch to
find out why it all changed when he felt God was calling him
to something more!
Our parish
invites you individually or as a family to say the rosary
with the help of the internet. "Come Pray the Rosary" is a
perpetual rosary that allows people to say the rosary together on
the internet. You can join with others and say the rosary in
progress, or start it individually by choosing the mystery you want
to say.
Through this website, you can follow along as the Rosary is recited,
with the visual aid of video from the Holy Land. You can literally
see the places where the mysteries take place! You also can keep
track of how many other people, around the world, are joining you in
prayer. By clicking on the number of
people praying and then the map, you can actually see the location
of those you are praying with on a map. Please check out this great
website at
