Upcoming Events

Beginning February 2nd, St. Dominic Parish will be offering a study centered around the new series hit, The Chosen. The series allows us to see Christ through the eyes of those who knew him. The Chosen takes the stories of the Gospels and at the same time tells us a story that is in between the lines of scripture.

Participants are welcome to join us in the Parish Hall from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm for a screening of an episode, followed by group discussions and activities led by our pastoral minister, Michael Aguiar; materials will be provided. We will be focusing on the first season of the series, spread through eight sessions on the following dates:

• February 02, 2023
• February 09, 2023
• February 16, 2023
• February 23, 2023

On Holy Thursday we remember the beginning of Jesus’ passion.

We recall Jesus washing the apostles’ feet, the institution of the Eucharist, the institution of the priesthood, and the Last Supper – where Jesus offers Himself as the Passover sacrifice, a sacrifice which concludes on the cross. Jesus will conclude the Passover sacrifice on the cross when He drinks the fourth cup of the Jewish Passover ritual.

At the end of the Mass, the Blessed Sacrament is solemnly processed to the chapel. *Jesus goes into the garden of Gethsemane and agonizes over His upcoming death* (Mt. 26:40) and all leave quietly.

“Not my will, but yours be done.”
Mt 26:39, 42, 44

***Online reservations are NOT required to attend

Easter, the Resurrection of Our Lord, is the single greatest holy day in the Christian Life; so great that we celebrate it for eight consecutive days. The Triduum, the three days of Our Lord’s passion, death and resurrection are the three most holy and important days in our calendar.

The Sacrament of Confirmation echoes the Descent of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, 50 days after Jesus’ Resurrection, when the Holy Spirit came upon the apostles and disciples as visible tongues of fire. This is when a Christian announces their commitment to following Christ in the Church. It is a seal on one’s Baptism and a true personal promise that gives us the strength and courage to witness to the Faith. The colour red is proudly displayed as a pledge to die for Christ, even by martyrdom. It symbolizes ‘dying to oneself’ and ‘putting on Christ’.

Take the few weeks before your confirmation to prepare yourself with confession and to contemplate what this all means.

Jesuit missionaries worked among the Huron (Wendat), an Iroquoian-speaking people who occupied territory in the Georgian Bay area of Central Ontario. (They were not part of the Iroquois Confederacy, initially made up of five tribes south and east of the Great Lakes.) The area of their traditional territory is called Huronia. The Huron in this area were farmers, fishermen and traders who lived in villages surrounded by defensive wooden palisades for protection. Sainte-Marie among the Hurons was the headquarters for the French Jesuit Mission to the Huron Wendat people.

By the late 1640s, the Jesuits believed they were making progress in their mission to the Huron, and claimed to have made many converts. But, the priests were not universally trusted. Many Huron considered them to be malevolent shamans who brought death and disease wherever they travelled; after European contact, the Huron had suffered high fatalities in epidemics after 1634 of smallpox and other Eurasian infectious diseases.

The nations of the Iroquois Confederacy considered the Jesuits legitimate targets of their raids and warfare, as the missionaries were nominally allies of the Huron and French fur traders. Retaliating for French colonial attacks against the Iroquois was also a reason for their raids against the Huron and Jesuits.

In 1642, the Mohawk captured René Goupil, and Father Isaac Jogues, bringing them back to their village of Ossernenon south of the Mohawk River. They ritually tortured both men and killed Goupil. After several months of captivity, Jogues was ransomed by Dutch traders and the minister Johannes Megapolensis from New Netherland (later Albany). He returned for a time to France, but then sailed back to Quebec. In 1646 he and Jean de Lalande were killed during a visit to Ossernenon intended to achieve peace between the French and the Mohawk.

Other Jesuit missionaries were killed by the Mohawk and martyred in the following years: Antoine Daniel (1648), Jean de Brébeuf (1649), Noël Chabanel (1649), Charles Garnier (1649), and Gabriel Lalemant (1649). All were canonized in 1930 as the Canadian Martyrs, also known as the North American Martyrs.

The Martyrs’ Shrine in Midland, Ontario, the site of the Jesuits’ missionary work among the Huron, is the National Shrine to the Canadian Martyrs.
