R.C.I.A.
(RITE OF CHRISTIAN INITIATION FOR ADULTS)
(open to young adults – grade 9 and up)
What is R.C.I.A.? It is a process established for individuals (grade 9
and up) to become Catholic and receive the sacraments of initiation – Baptism, Confirmation
and Eucharist. This “spiritual journey” is centered on fostering a deep relationship with
Jesus and the Church he founded. Our classes began on TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 8th. They
run from 7-9 pm. If you or anyone you know is interested in learning more about what it means
to be a Catholic and being a part of this “incredible journey”, please contact Pauline Murphy
through the church office at (905) 793-8030, ext. 102.
*** ATTENTION ALL CAREGIVERS ***
There will be a meeting this Wednesday, November 4 at 7 p.m.

During the first two weeks of October, Linda Raffin
(a parishioner) and I had the extreme pleasure of
being part of a 9 man team that travelled to Jordan.
Our mission was to interview refugees and gather
information about their living conditions; where
they are living, how they are getting food and medication, etc. Upon our
return, we prepared a report with this information along with our
recommendations for Cardinal Collins and the UN. Of greater importance,
we interviewed these refugees for possible resettlement in Canada.
It was only through the grace of prayer that we found strength enough to listen
to their heartbreaking stories. Their houses and businesses bombed, family
members killed or injured, women raped by the soldiers and children
traumatized by the war screaming each night. Meeting face-to-face with these
broken men, women and children was one of the most powerful experiences
of my life. To meet them in their despair, their
fear…their lack of human dignity.
St. Anthony of Padua Parish has always been active in
social justice for all, regardless of race, creed or
religion. We are continuing our outreach to our
brothers and sisters in need by accepting an Iraqi
family of 3 (father, mother and 7 month old son) as part of PROJECT HOPE.
We hope to welcome them as part of our Christian community, perhaps as
early as Christmas since persecuted Christians are being fast tracked. As well,
I am happy to announce that the Kindeke family, our family of 8 from Ghana
could be arriving in January. At this time, we are asking for your financial
support for these 2 families.
Again this year, Linda and I will be travelling to the refugee camps in Ghana
on November 19. Your financial donation will also help us to purchase much
needed medicines, food, bibles, missals, etc.
St. Bakhita Catholic Church in the Krisan Refugee Camp celebrated its first
mass since 2005 during our visit in November 2013. Since this time, mass is
celebrated monthly and the sacraments of baptism and 1st communion are
being received. The parish has grown so much that we have the bishop’s
permission to build a new church in the camp. Donations for this wonderful
project are also most welcomed.
If you require further information, please feel free to contact me through the
church office at 905-793-8030, ext. 102.
With much thanks. God bless. Pauline

What is Eucharistic Adoration?
Understood simply, Eucharistic
Adoration is adoring or honouring the
Eucharistic Presence of Christ. In a
deeper sense, it involves “the
contemplation of the Mystery of Christ
truly present before us”
During Eucharistic Adoration, we “watch
and wait”, we remain “silent” in His
Presence and open ourselves to His
Graces which flow from the Eucharist…
By worshiping the Eucharistic Jesus, we
become what God wants us to be! Like
a magnet, the Lord draws us to Himself
and gently transforms us.
In its fullest essence… Eucharistic
Adoration is “God and Man reaching out
for each other, at the same time!”
Light the candle before the Blessed
Sacrament:
On Tuesdays, if you wish to light a
candle on the Altar before the Blessed
Sacrament in the memory of your family
members. Book ahead and the name of
your intention will be listed in the parish
bulletin. Please contact the parish office
to arrange, cost will be $20.00.
