Do you believe life is sacred? Do you have what it takes to stand for those most vulnerable? Then come and join us for LIFE CHAIN! This upcoming Sunday, September 30th.
Life Chain is a non-confrontational, peaceful, and silent witness to the evil of abortion and its painful consequences. It is a simple but powerful reminder to our fellow citizens of the sanctity of human life and our duty to defend the weakest members of our society.
We have a FREE bus going from Merciful Redeemer Parish, and young people and young adults will be given preference for the bus. Meet at the Church at 2:00pm! The bus will take us to the corner of Dundas and Credit Woodlands, where we will stand for an hour from 2:30 till 3:30pm. The bus will be back at the parish by 4:00pm.

PLEASE RSVP, as there are only 50 spots on the bus, and it is first-come-first-serve!!

LifeTeen: Immersed and Sealed... the Sacraments of Baptism and Confirmation!
Ever wonder why we have infant baptism?
What about people who are not baptized, can they still be saved? Where
does baptism come from? What's up with the oil on the forehead at
Confirmation, and what does it even mean anyway?This Saturday at LifeTeen we will explore these and any other questions you may have regarding the Sacraments of Baptism and Confirmation.
You will also be welcomed into our "Alpha and Omega" fraternity ;) So dress to impress, BRING A BED SHEET TO CREATE YOUR TOGA, bring lots of qu
estions and an open heart, and be ready for a great night! :D
Remember, tokens are given for attendance, sitting at the front during Mass, and bringing new friends. Collect them and you can exchange them for cool items, and you can also win big prizes at the end of the year! (Last year we gave out an iPod)
