SANCTUARY CANDLE FOR BOTH SAINT PATRICK’S AND OMPH: Each week we invite you to light the sanctuary lamp in memory of a loved one or for a special intention. The cost is $20.00 and you may drop the donation off at the rectory during office hours or place it in the collection with the information enclosed.

SUNDAY OFFERINGS: The Parish is able to accept your Sunday offering via e-transfer. For those who wish to donate to the Parish in this manner, use the email “omphoffice@gmail.com” and the security password “OMPH81”.

COMMUNION DURING STEP ONE: Fr. Wayne and Deacon Larry will distribute Communion on Sundays, during the Step One, when we can only have 15% capacity in the church, from 12:00 P.M. and 1:00 P.M. outside the main Church doors. Parishioners will line up on the sidewalk, masked and socially distanced, and receive Communion in front of the church doors, then return to their vehicles.

EXPOSITION OF THE BLESSED SACRAMENT: The Blessed Sacrament will be exposed from 11:30 A.M. to 12:30 P.M. on Friday, June 25th. We are in need of at least two people per hour to be in the Church at all times. Come and spend an hour in prayer with our Lord.

SUMMER OFFICE HOURS: The office will begin summer hours. The office will be open every Wednesday from 9AM to Noon and 1PM to 4:30PM.
.
HOW TO MAKE A SPIRITUAL COMMUNION: 1) Make the Sign of the Cross, 2) recite the Creed, 3) recite the Our Father, 4) recite 3 Hail Mary, and 4) say the prayer of St. Alphonsus Liguori and 5) recite 3 Glory Be.

Prayer of St. Alphonsus Liguori: My Jesus, I believe that you are in the Blessed Sacrament. I love you above all things, and I long for you in my soul. Since I cannot now receive you sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. As though you have already come, I embrace you and unite myself entirely to you; never permit me to be separated from you. Amen.

CWL UPDATE: To commemorate the 100th Anniversary of the Catholic Women's League of Canada, the members of Our Mother of Perpetual Help CWL council have planted a Mountain Ash tree in the church yard. The National Council of the CWL encouraged all parish councils to plant a tree for our 100th anniversary (1920 - 2020) in keeping with our National theme of Care for our Common Home. Thank you to Silvia and Kyle Aird for donating the tree.
HOLY HOUR FOR VOCATIONS: Mark Wednesday, June 16th at 7:00 P.M. on your calendar for our Holy Hour for Vocations to the priesthood and religious life. This is simply an hour set aside in prayer and reflection before the Blessed Sacrament. It will begin with brief prayers, a scripture reading and reflection, followed by time for personal prayer, we will conclude the hour with Benediction.

CATHOLIC LITERATURE FUND: June is set aside for a special collection to assist the work of our Catholic Literature Committee who so faithfully and generously supply us with good Catholic reading material throughout the year. Your generosity will help continue this important educational outreach program. A special envelope can be found in your offering box. Thank you for your generosity.
