ST PHILIP AND ST CLARE
PARISH BULLETIN

Welcome to the Community of St Philip and St Clare!
Sunday Masses: St. Philip: Saturday 4:30pm and Sunday 10:30am
St. Clare: Sunday 9 am
Weekday Masses: St. Philip: Mondays 7pm and St. Clare: Tuesdays 7pm
Fr Bob Writes: As Fr………………………………
Bob is away, let’s look at some new CD’s from Lighthouse Catholic Media:
The Shadow of His Wings: Matthew Arnold.
Fr. Goldmann was drafted into Hitler's army while he was still a seminarian, and later
assigned to the dreaded S.S. Throughout World War II he remained faithful to his
Catholic convictions, proclaiming the faith to his Nazi countrymen. From his wartime
ordination to his construction of a prison chapel, this thrilling true-life adventure is an
inspirational testimony to God's providence and the power of prayer.
Proofs for the Existence of God: Fr Robert Spitzer, SJ. Today, it is more important
than ever to understand how the voice of science and our ordered universe clearly testify
to the existence of an all-powerful God. In this informative talk, Fr. Robert Spitzer – an
expert in physics, philosophy, and theology – explains how modern scientific findings
and recent medical studies support what is clearly understood through Christian Faith.
True Devotion to Mary by St Louis de Montfort.
The intercession of our Blessed Mother is especially important for our troubled times.
St. Louis de Montfort's classic work on Marian consecration, True Devotion to Mary,
provides a well-trod path to the profound graces that the Lord offers through Mary's
prayers for those who trust in her intercession. In this presentation, Fr. Lance Harlow
offers clear and insightful commentary drawn from the Saint's text to help explain this
consecration to Jesus through Mary and the spiritual effects one can expect. This will
greatly benefit all who are interested in Marion consecration.

WHY CONSIDER OUR ‘PRE-AUTHORIZED PAYMENT PLAN’?
The Primary benefits for you are:
- peace of mind in knowing the church is regularly receiving your much-needed donations
- convenience in giving…no more searching for cheques or money before the collection
- donations by pre-authorized payment are linked to any other donations you make - one tax receipt is provided yearly
- you chose if you want your donation to be made on the 1st or 15th of the month (or split between the two if you want!)
- worry-free support to St Philips whether you are able to be at church or not – great for snowbirds, cottagers, travelers!
The Church benefits as well:
- knowing there will be regular donations throughout the year makes it easier to plan and budget
- requires less work for our volunteers on the counting, depositing, envelope inputters and finance teams.
As always, your gifts – whether through pre-authorized giving or through our regular offerings – are held in the strictest
confidence. You may stop (or temporarily pause) your pre-authorized payments at any time by calling the office.
It’s easy to get started: simply complete and sign the enrolment/authorization form found at the entry of the church
(attach your personal blank check marked “void”). Drop the enrolment form and void check to the church office (or
into the collection basket) in a sealed envelope marked “Pre-authorized Giving.” The plan will begin the first of the
next month.
Please consider if this can work for you – St Philips appreciates your consideration of this request.
