Catholics urged to Support Physicians’ Charter Right of Freedom of Conscience and Religion The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario (CPSO) in a proposed new draft document states: “Where physicians are unwilling to provide certain elements of care due to their moral or religious beliefs, an effective referral to another health care provider must be provided to the patient.” Catholic physicians believe that a mandate for an “effective referral” is a violation of a physician’s rights, as it compels the physician to violate his or her own conscience by being a participant in the very act, the very procedure to which he or she objects in the first place. The CPSO is accepting submissions from all Ontario citizens until February 20. We are all called to inform the CPSO in writing that we reject the proposed “effective referral” mandate for doctors whose Charter right of freedom of conscience and religion must be respected. The Catholic Civil Rights League (CCRL) is one Catholic lay group coordinating these efforts. Go to www.ccrl.ca to find out more and to get involved.

He promises. “I will be your God, and you will be my people.” We are so often tempted to diverge from our promises, but the Lord always keeps His, takes us back, renews our strength, and saves us by His own life. In the wilderness places of our lives, let us keep our focus on the one who is our rock and salvation, who leads the humble in what is right and teaches the humble his way. 1st Sunday of Lent Genesis 9.8-15 Psalm 25; 1 Peter 3.18-22 Mark 1.12-15 2nd Sunday of Lent Genesis 22.1-2, 9-13, 15-18 Psalm 116; Romans 8.31b-35, 37 Mark 9.2-10 Please remember the sick in your prayers Ethel Pinto, Olga Allen, Lorraine Lamouche, Melda Velasco, Adelia Aguirre, Hilary Alphonso, Annelopia Mele, Rob Gangnon, Stephanie Gangnon, Audrey Mynahan, Eugene Mooney, Teresa Celis, Anne Guy, Rosalie O’Connor.

Alpha will be hosted for the first time at St Patrick's on March 12th for 10 weeks following the Parish Mission week. Sign up today!! Together we are continuing to work wonders… “Help one another. This is what Jesus teaches. This is what I do. And I do it with my heart…I love doing it because this is what the Lord has taught me. But you too must help us and help each other always. And thus in helping each other we will do good for each other.” – Pope Francis. This reminder from our Holy Father demonstrates the importance of caring for one another and our commitment to Catholic charity in a meaningful way. Through ShareLife agencies, we reach out to some of the most vulnerable and needy people in our community, helping our neighbours, friends and fellow parishioners as they work through difficult times.

Lent: the springtime of the soul...is a time to make a new covenant with God, develop new signs of our relationship with our Creator. Go into your own desert and discover what God is asking of you. If you think God is calling you to a Church vocation, Contact Fr. Chris Lemieux, Vocation Director, Archdiocese of Toronto at 416-968-0997 or email vocations@archtoronto.org. Catholics urged to Support Physicians’ Charter Right of Freedom of Conscience and Religion The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario (CPSO) in a proposed new draft document states: “Where physicians are unwilling to provide certain elements of care due to their moral or religious beliefs, an effective referral to another health care provider must be provided to the patient.” Catholic physicians believe that a mandate for an “effective referral” is a violation of a physician’s rights, as it compels the physician to violate his or her own conscience by being a participant in the very act, the very procedure to which he or she objects in the first place. The CPSO is accepting submissions from all Ontario citizens until February 20. We are all called to inform the CPSO in writing that we reject the proposed “effective referral” mandate for doctors whose Charter right of freedom of conscience and religion must be respected. The Catholic Civil Rights League (CCRL) is one Catholic lay group coordinating these efforts. Go to www.ccrl.ca to find out more and to get involved.
