 The social ministry team of Côte-des-Neiges is looking for volunteers for a temporary warming centre, in the basement of the St. Pascal Baylon Church, in Côte-des-Neiges.
We help homeless people by providing them a safe place to warm up, and offer them some coffee, a bowl of soup and a sandwich. Open from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
Your role would be to support the team with the following tasks:
• Serving food
• Maintaining order and cleanliness
• Ensuring compliance with sanitary measures

CLEAR & SIMPLE:
Parish Evangelization That Leads to Conversion
Monday, January 25 - 1 p.m. EST, the Feast of the Conversion of St. Paul
To mark this feast and to unpack the indispensability of conversion in the evangelization process, we will be joined by André Regnier, Co-Founder of Catholic Christian Outreach .
The word “evangelization” is much more commonplace in the Church today than in the past. But the meaning behind it and the steps towards the goal of evangelization can be unclear and ambiguous. How can our parish move forward if we don't know where we're going?
Join us on the Feast of the Conversion of Saint Paul, as André Regnier, Co-Founder of Catholic Christian Outreach, unpacks the indispensability of conversion in the evangelization process. You’ll walk away from this session with greater clarity and conviction around your parish’s focus on the primacy of evangelization.

PRAYER FOR CHRISTIAN UNITY
This Sunday, January 24, celebrate the 2021 #WeekofPrayer for Christian Unity online with Christians across Canada! #WPCU2021
The 2021 theme – Abide in my love and you shall bear much fruit (John 15:5-9) – calls us to pray and to work for reconciliation and unity in the church, with our human family, and with all of creation. Drawing on the Gospel image of vine and branches, it invites us to nourish unity with God and with one another through contemplative silence, prayer, and common action. Grafted into Christ the vine as many diverse branches, may we bear rich fruit and create new ways of living, with respect for and communion with all of creation.
Here in Montreal, an ecumenical, bilingual worship service will be held at 3 p.m. EST, hosted by the Canadian Centre for Ecumenism.
ALL ARE WELCOME. Please register in advance below. |
