Spring has arrived and what a wonderful time of the year with new life springing up around us. Our season of Lent is nearing an end with only two weeks remaining until Holy Thursday. I wish the remainder of Lent be prayerful and joyful and may your Easter be truly joyous and blessed.
April 26 is a special day for the CWL as it is the feast day of Our Lady of Good Counsel. Our National Council named it a day of action for Peace and Hope. The activities kit that each parish received is designed to make the CWL more visible and active in the parish. Be sure to invite your fellow parishioners to participate in your celebration. The National Council will have Mass offered by Arch Bishop Martin Currie, Esk Omi and Scarboro Missions prior to April 26th with the Mass intention for the success of the CWL’s day of Peace and Action. You are encouraged to join in prayer prior to the 26th as well. Another suggestion would be to partake in a Novena to Our Lady of Good Counsel . A novena is a succession of prayers for nine days prior to a feast day. » Read the rest of this entry »
