Special Events
We strive to live the Gospel of Jesus Christ after the example of St. Francis of Assisi and under the patronage of Mary, the first disciple of Jesus. We entrust ourselves to God’s loving providence and ask Mary to intercede for us and lead us to Jesus.
We invite you to come and worship with us and to see the Lord in all aspects of live. Join us to discover the full meaning of God’s word and the richness of his action in our lives as individuals and as a believing community.
May the peace of the Lord be yours now and always!

A Franciscan Jubilee Year for the 800th
Anniversary of the Passing of St. Francis of Assisi
This year, 2026, marks the 800th anniversary of the glorious passing of our beloved founder, Saint Francis of Assisi 1226-2026. For this reason, Pope Leo XIV (14th) has proclaimed a special year during which the faithful can obtain a plenary indulgence – a spiritual grace- by fulfilling the usual conditions (sacramental confession, Eucharistic communion, and prayer of the intentions of the Pope) and by making a pilgrimage to any Franciscan conventual church or any place of worship dedicated to Saint Francis of Assisi. St Francis statue will be on display in our church for the entire 2026 Year to recognize this Jubilee Year as proclaimed by Pope Leo.
Prayer written by Pope Leo on the occasion of this holy year:
“May the example and spiritual legacy of this Saint, strong in faith, steadfast in hope and ardent in active charity towards his neighbour, inspire in everyone the importance of trusting in the Lord, of living a life faithful to the Gospel, and of accepting and illuminating every circumstance and action of life with faith and prayer.” Pope Leo XIV

Mass Cards for Faith and Healing
Think about your friends or loved ones who are facing something difficult right now. They need to know you are thinking about them and praying for them that they can be healed through the power of prayer and strengthened by God’s love. And together, we can all find such comfort in prayer, especially when we pray to our most willing friend St. Anthony, the miracle worker, who hears us and cares for us in our time of need.
Someone in need of spiritual, emotional, or physical healing will find the strength, faith, and courage they need, along with your most heartfelt prayers in the Mass enrollment card.
Today, ask St. Anthony to intercede for you and your loved ones.
These beautiful cards are available in the Parish Office.
Like our Perpetual Mass Cards, your friend or loved one will be registered to receive daily prayer intentions for their faith and healing. Call or visit the Parish Office for more information or to order a card.
Perpetual Mass Cards
You and members of your family, both living and deceased, can be permanently associated with the Franciscan friars by perpetual enrollments. Such perpetual membership enrollments are now widely used as spiritual gifts. They offer appropriate evidence of your sympathy in time of joy or sorrow. The enrollments are available for a relative or friend who has died, for the living, the sick, in commemoration of a feast day; birthday, anniversary or other similar special occasion.
The enrollments confer special spiritual benefits of close association with the Franciscan friars and their apostolic work. Both during life and after death they are in assurance of special remembrance daily in the Masses, prayers, and good works of the Franciscan fraternity. Call the Parish Office to request a Perpetual Mass Card for your loved one.
In Memoriam & In Lieu of Flowers
In Memoriam and In Lieu of Flowers cards are now available. They can help families make a special gift to the Church in honor of a loved one. “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.” – Matthew 5:4
If you are interested, please pick up a pamphlet at the back of the church or contact the parish office.
Weekly Mass Intentions
Special Occasions and Anniversaries – The celebration of Mass for a deceased loved one on an important anniversary is a very meaningful and caring expression of love for that person. It is an important part of our Catholic tradition. Please contact the Parish Office at 416-651-7875 to request a Mass Intention.
