the Archangel - Sept. 23/24

September 29th is the Feast of Saints Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael, the Archangels. In commemoration, all are invited to join us this weekend, September 23rd and 24th, after each Mass for a social gathering in St. Michael’s Parish Hall.

In a special way, we keep in our prayers St. Michael’s Parish of the London North Central Catholic Family of Parishes. 


St. Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our defense against the wickedness and 
snares of the Devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray,
and do thou,
O Prince of the heavenly hosts,
by the power of God,
thrust into hell Satan,
and all the evil spirits,
who prowl about the world
seeking the ruin of souls. 
Amen.

LNCCFP Bible Study:
Oct. 3 to Nov. 28 from 7 pm - 8:30 pm

An 8-week Bible Study is being offered Tuesday evenings from October 3rd to November 28th, 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm at St. Michael's Parish Hall.  It is also being offered by Zoom Thursday afternoons from 2:00 pm – 3:30 pm starting on October 5th. We will be studying Ephesians: Discover Your Inheritance.  “Ephesians was one of the most widely circulated of St. Paul's writings because of its powerful, practical instructions for disciples of Christ. The Study examines many important themes that are still relevant in today's Christian culture and society – the nature of marriage, the purpose and role of the Church, the prominence of grace in God's plan, and the reality of spiritual warfare.”   


Ephesians: Discover Your Inheritance shows us the treasures that await us as adopted sons and daughters in the family of God.”  This study includes: reading the Bible, answering workbook questions, discussion with a table group or on-line Zoom group, followed by a 20 to 30 minute video hosted by Biblical scholar Jeff Cavins.


To sign up or if you have questions, please email Gerarda Smith-Hillier at gimish3@gmail.com. The cost of the workbook is $40.00. If you require support to purchase the workbook please contact Gerarda. We would never want the cost to be a factor in your decision to join us. All are most sincerely welcome !


“Let everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them.” -Ephesians 4:29

Pastoral Letters from the Bishops of Canada on Reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples

On 8 February 2023, the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops issued four pastoral letters on reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples. Intended as a framework for local engagement with Indigenous Peoples, the letters are the fruit of many months of listening, encounter, and dialogue with them, including through Listening Circles, the Indigenous Delegation to the Vatican in April 2022, and Pope Francis’ Apostolic Voyage to Canada in July of the same year.
