Eden's Baptism Today

This is a very special Day for Our Family 

John and Chantel's youngest daughter Eden was baptized by Father Lukose

 at Holy Cross Parish on Walkley Road after the 11:15 Mass. 

In attendance were Eden's mommy and daddy, grandma and grandpa, 

 her two sisters Bailee and Emilee, her brother Kyle and friend Jasmine,  

 aunt Debbie and Eden's Teacher Miss Leslie.

Two beautiful children, a boy and a girl from another family were also baptized

Both families joined in the Entrance Procession with Father Lukose and the altar servers 

When we reached the front of the Church we acknowledged our desire to have our child ( children ) baptized and then Fr. Lukose asked  the parents and godparents to bless the child  ( children ) on the forehead.  

Before Mass, Father Lukose asked Eden and Chantel to bring up the gifts during the Offertory

It was really beautiful and we are all very proud of our dear little Eden. 
Congratulations Eden!

Congratulations to Eden's Godparents, Grandpa and Chantel's aunt Mary. 
I stood in for aunt Mary because she lives in Newfoundland.

Afterwards we all went to Swiss Chalet! Yummy!

Prophetic Words from Pope John Paul 11

Every Tuesday here at the Annunciation of the Lord Parish we have the Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament beginning after the 9:00 AM Mass until 4:00 PM with Benediction and the Divine Praises.

In his homily today, Deacon Marc read these prophetic words (below) of Pope John Paul 11, taken from The Magnificat Meditations.

I really like Deacon Marc's homilies on Tuesdays. His words always leave me with something to meditate on during my prayer time after mass.

Abortion KIlls Babies. Brutally!

Thou Shalt Not KIll

40 Days for Life 2019 - Midpoint Rally

Thank you Father Mark! What an inspiring talk. 

40 Days for Life 2019 - Annunciation of the Lord Parish

Today, Pat, Barb and I joined other members of our Parish and the Queenship of Mary Community to pray at the vigil site in Ottawa.

We Need A Law placed 100,000 flags on the lawn in front of the Supreme Court building.

Each flag represents a child killed by abortion in Canada during the past year.

Thank you Lord for the faithful souls who came out to pray today. There should be more though.

Thank you Lord for the good work done by We Need A Law. My hope is that some day the tide will turn and eyes will be opened to the absolute horror of abortion.
