End of Life Planning Workshop and Lunch: April 7 at 12:00 PM

Family members and loved ones are often overwhelmed when a loved one dies. Few people have prepared the end-of-life plans. Here is an opportunity for you to learn more about what you can do today to prepare for your funeral and estate. Led by Cardinal Funeral Homes Funeral Director, Cindy Ciampa, estate advisor Rachel MacDonald, and Fr. Don Beyers, our parish priest, the workshop will consider all aspects of funeral planning, from the funeral rites to estate planning. 

All are welcome to this free lunch discussion which will take place in the ministry centre of the church. Simply register for the lunch by Wednesday, April 3, so we can ensure there is enough food for all. We look forward to welcoming you to this very important discussion.

Women's Voices in Theology: May 16 at 6:00 PM

Our engaging and thought-provoking series “Women’s Voices in Theology” continues with our fourth book by the highly regarded theologian Sarah Coakley.

Drawing from Bible and writings from the Early Church, Coakley focuses on the contentious issues in the Church today, such as the role of women in the Church, sexuality, and ordained ministry. Rather than align herself with one theological camp or another, Coakley seeks to bridge the divide between conservative and liberal voices.  

Whether you read the book or not, we invite you to join us  on May 16 at 6:00 PM for a dinner conversation about this book. You can purchase the book today either at your local bookseller or from Amazon.ca. For more information and to register, visit this link.

Join Us for Morning Prayer Each Thursday at 9:30 AM!

Pray with us each Thursday at 9:30 in the church. You can join us in-person or online on our YouTube page.

Stations of the Cross: Fridays at 7:30 PM at St. Matthias, 45 Bellwoods Ave.

Our regional ministry partner, St. Matthias, invites us all to join them in praying the Stations of the Cross and participating in Benediction immediately afterwards. Stations of the Cross is an ancient Lenten devotion for those unable to go to Jerusalem and walk the path of Jesus’ way to the cross. St. Matthias is located at 45 Bellwoods Ave, not far from Trinity-Bellwoods Park. 

Celebrate the Feast of St. Joseph: March 19 at 7:30 PM at St. Matthias, Bellwoods

As we continue to share ministry with the parishes of Epiphany-St. Mark and St. Matthias, we will all gather for a shared celebration of the Feast of St. Joseph. One of the few major saints days in Lent, the feast is an opportunity to break your Lenten fast and penance and celebrate and enjoy a festive evening. To honour the day, we will celebrate a Sung Mass at 7:30 PM at St. Matthias, 45 Bellwoods Ave. All are welcome!

News & Resources

Sunday Scripture Readings Online & In-Print

As we continue to work towards more ecologically sustainable practices in our parish, we will share the Sunday readings through a variety of formats. While they will not be included in the worship leaflet, we will have a handful of copies of the readings in the back of the church for you to collect if you wish to follow-along during service or to take home for personal prayer and reflection. You can also read the scripture lessons online by visiting the Anglican Church of Canada's online lectionary. Learn more about each week's readings by visiting Working Preacher, an online commentary provided by Luther Seminary in St. Paul, Minnesota.

Pray Morning and Evening Prayer

One of the wonderful gifts of the Anglican Reformation was the introduction of morning and evening prayer for all Christians. Known as the Daily Office, the prayer is a simple time of praying the psalms and contemplating on a scripture reading or two. You can pray the Daily Office online or with your mobile device with apps such as Common Prayer Canada, which is the Book of Common Prayer for the Canadian Church, or the Daily Prayer app from the Church of England, which includes a contemporary version as well as the classic 1662 Book of Common Prayer. Join us Thursdays at 9:30 in the church or on YouTube as we pray morning prayer.
