St. Francis de Sales Parish
Our mission at St. Francis de Sales is to joyfully welcome you to our parish family of faith, trusting that: if you are seeking Christ,
you will find Him here. If grieving, you will receive comfort. If troubled in spirit, you will receive the blessing of peace without being judged. If discouraged, you will rejoice in hope. If alone,
you will find companionship and Christian love. May our parish be a sanctuary of peace for you as we journey
together to the Father’s house.

12:15pm. To attend any of weekend Masses, you need
to register online at https://w..eventbrite.ca/o/st-francis-de-sales-parish-304915334081 32?fbclid=IwAR177EEvEpy-w_LGIRa9SaeiDn4dvT5d9Q6sfWMKLHvMTZ-IxwJwwWlNb5I If you are not able to attend the
Mass for the date and time you selected, please go

You are required under the Durham Region By-law

church building. If you are ill, we ask that you stay
home.

for you and/or families to be seated by an Usher. Masses should last only 30 minutes. Holy Communion
will be distributed to the congregation at the end of each
Mass just before you leave. As you leave, there will be
an offertory donation box by the Baptismal Font into
which you may place your donations.
EMAIL MAILING LIST
In the past you have been able to access the bulletin through the
parish website at www.stfrancisdesales.ca Last week, we began
emailing the bulletin to the families who have an email address in
our parish tools database. If you are currently not receiving an
electronic copy of our bulletin and would like to, please email us
We thank parishioners for giving to the ShareLife appeal
thus far and for donating this weekend. If you were unable
to give today, you may give a ShareLife donation (in their
designated envelopes and placed in our offertory boxes) at
any time. You may also donate to the ShareLife appeal by
going online at www.sharelife.org There will be another
major collection for ShareLife on 11 October and 8
November. Our goal for the ShareLife campaign is
$84,800. To date, we have collected $40,462

SEPTEMBER 20, 2020
ALERT: EMAIL SCAM
Many parishioners, staff members, and advertisers
in our bulletin have been receiving a fraudulent
email from Fr. Joe asking for donations of all sorts.
The only email Fr. Joe uses is:
Should you receive an email from Fr. Joe, other then
the aforementioned email, please disregard it.
Please contact our parish office and inform us of the
fraudulent email address.
Our Archdiocesan office has been alerted to the fact
that fraudulent emails have been sent to parishioners
in the name of Fr. Joe. This is an unfortunate
occurrence, which is happening with other priests.
We are so happy to be able to continue with our
2019/2020 First Communions. Please see the email that
Mrs. Selda sent regarding the rehearsal dates and First
Communion dates and times. In order to keep everyone
safe, we have been required to split our larger schools in
half and have a restriction on the number of guests in
order to maintain social distancing. Tickets for the First
Communion Masses will be given at the rehearsal.

from their preparation books. We look forward to seeing
all the children and celebrating these special sacraments
together.
