All are welcome to enter this peaceful space for reflection, grace, and devotion.

 

We began all-day Eucharistic Adoration on Friday, May 8, 2026 from 9:00 a.m. until 6:30 p.m. Thank you to all those who signed up to make it possible. Adoration requires at least two people present during each time block. This provides the essential presence needed to keep the doors of grace open for all others in the entire community and beyond. Choosing one weekly dedicated hour ensures the Blessed Sacrament is never left alone.

“Could you not watch one hour with me?” asked the Lord, for in that single hour of faithful companionship, He pours out the peace of His presence and transforms your soul far more than any earthly labor ever could. “When we are before the Blessed Sacrament, instead of looking about us, let us shut our eyes and open our hearts; and the good God will open His. We will go to Him, and He will come to us, the one to give, and the other to receive.” St John Vianney.

We warmly invite you to spend time in prayer and encounter the presence of Our Lord in our beautiful “A Star on the Mantle of Our Lady, Queen of Peace” monstrance.

Thank you your Grace Cardinal Frank Leo for celebrating Mass and blessing our new Monstrance (December 3, 2023)

HISTORY OF THE MONSTRANCE

Marius Drapikowski was a talented jeweller, an artist and was losing his vision. He visited and was blessed by Pope John Paul II. Shortly after his vision was restored. He made a vow to dedicate his life to using his talents to create sacred art including two series of monstrances: Star on the Crown and Star on the Mantel: both promote global peace through Eucharistic Adoration. He drew his inspiration from the writings of St. Maxmillian Kolbe and the miraculous imagery of Our Lady of Guadalupe. They are part of an international peace initiative led by the Comunità Regina della Pace to establish centers of Eucharistic Adoration around the world for global peace and reconciliation.

Frank Cardinal Leo Thanks You for Participating in the 2025 ShareLife Parish Campaign

Dear Brothers and Sisters in the Lord,
I write to you with a grateful heart to thank you for your outstanding response to the 2025 ShareLife Parish Campaign.
Together, our Catholic community raised $15.6 million to care for those who are struggling across our archdiocese. Never before has our Parish Campaign reached this level, and it is a beautiful testament to the faith, care, and commitment of our community.
I am deeply aware that this generosity was offered in a time of real economic strain. Many families are carrying heavier burdens, feeling the rising cost of daily life, and making careful choices about what they can give. And despite these challenges, you understood the needs around you, including the growing reality of hunger in our communities, and you chose to respond with compassion. That choice matters. It speaks volumes about the kind of Church we are, and the kind of people you are.
Because of you, ShareLife has been able to strengthen its response to food insecurity through our Food Security Grants, helping parishes and social agencies provide groceries, meals, and essential support to individuals and families who are struggling to put food on the table. In neighbourhoods across the archdiocese, your care is reaching people with faithfulness and love, right where it is needed most.
This year is also a meaningful moment in our shared story. In 1976, my esteemed predecessor Archbishop Philip Pocock made a courageous and principled decision to establish ShareLife so that the Church could respond faithfully to an array of human needs in a way that is rooted in our Catholic values and our respect for the dignity of every person. That moment of conscience gave birth to a mission that continues to bear fruit today.
As we mark the 50th anniversary of ShareLife, we give thanks for the faith that has sustained this mission for five decades, and we entrust its future once again to God’s grace and to the loving care of our community members.
Thank you for your generous hearts, for your witness, and for your continued participation in the ShareLife Parish Campaign. Through you, the Church continues to be present where it is most needed and a beacon of hope and magnanimity. May God’s blessings be abundant and powerful in your lives and your loved ones.
