Masked are mandated for when physical distancing is not possible – when you will be within 2 metres of another person.

A Prayer for a Sick Child
August 23, 2020
St. Gerard, who, like the Saviour, loved children so tenderly and by your prayers freed many from disease and even death,
listen to us who are pleading for our sick children. We thank God for the great gift of our son/daughter and ask Him to restore
our children to health if such be His holy will. This favour, we beg of you through your love for all children and mothers.
Amen.

Parish News
St. Michaels cemetery is now offering above ground interment for ashes.
Cremations now represent 60% of the burials at St Michael’s Cemetery. Families bury ashes in standard grave
plots, often two family members per plot, at an approximate cost of $2600 (for the two family members
including a headstone).
The cemetery has been serving parishioners for over 200 years. If we continue to use grave plots for the burial
of ashes, the cemetery will be full in 10 to 15 years.
In September St Michaels will be installing a new Columbarium for above ground internment of ashes.
Each Columbarium niche can hold two standard size urns. There will be a total of 48 niches for (96 urns).
St Michaels is now offering these niches for sale at a cost of $1,700. The placing of ashes and inscription on the
granite doors will be an additional $240 (at the time of burial).
The total cost for this new service will be approximately $1940.
Porcelain photo’s can also be purchased for an additional cost and placed on the doors.
The Columbarium will be in the new section of the cemetery, and the area will have lighting and benches,
providing a tranquil place to visit loved ones.
For more information on the new Columbarium, or any lots in the cemetery, please visit the church office or call
778-5150. You can now make arrangements at the parish office to reserve your niche in the Columbarium.
Payment must be made in full at the time. Further inquiries can be directed to Steven O’Reilly at 773-9380.

Afraid of the Dark A little boy was afraid of the dark. One night his mother told him to go out to the back porch and bring her the broom. The little boy turned to his mother and said, "Mama, I don't want to go out there. It's dark." The mother smiled reassuringly at her son. "You don't have to be afraid of the dark," she explained. "Jesus is out there. He'll look after you and protect you." The little boy looked at his mother real hard and asked, "Are you sure he's out there?" "Yes, I 'm sure. He is everywhere, and he is always ready to help you when you need him," she said. The little boy thought about that for a minute and then went to the back door and cracked it a little. Peering out into the darkness, he called, "Jesus? If you're out there, would you please hand me the broom?
Moving forward, we will continue to follow all guidelines and restrictions for the safety of all parishioners. The parish office will continue to keep record of names and numbers. Your continuous cooperation is greatly appreciated. Ushers will continue to assist parishioners with questions and concerns. You can also address your concerns to the Parish office. Together we support each other. Faith and prayer will prevail.
PRAYER FROM POPE FRANCIS FOR PROTECTION
O Mary, you shine continuously on our journey as a sign of salvation and hope.
We entrust ourselves to you, Health of the Sick. At the foot of the Cross you participated in Jesus' pain, with steadfast faith.
You, Salvation of the Roman People, know what we need.
We are certain that you will provide, so that, as you did at Cana of Galilee, joy and feasting might return after this moment of trial.
Help us, Mother of Divine Love, to conform ourselves to the Father's will and to do what Jesus tells us.
He who took our sufferings upon Himself, and bore our sorrows to bring us, through the Cross, to the joy of the Resurrection. Amen.
We seek refuge under your protection, O Holy Mother of God.
Do not despise our pleas – we who are put to the test – and deliver us from every danger, O glorious and blessed Virgin.
