SAINT PATRICK’S BASILICA RESTORATION FOUNDATION
Since Saint Patrick’s Day of 2012 we have been appealing to you to help us raise
$500,000 to cover financial overruns in previous restoration projects and to raise
money to help finance urgent repairs to our small towers or
Pinnacle Project and our Chimney Project.
To date we have collected $250,810 and thank you for your
generosity.
Our Chimney project is due to begin in March 2015. The contract
has been awarded to Rainville et fils who were the lowest bidders
in a public bidding process.
We need your help. Please make your donation to the Saint
Patrick’s Restoration Foundation where the full amount is put
towards restoring our Basilica. All donations will receive a receipt
for income tax purposes.
Thank you, Mary McGovern [email protected]

NOVEMBER – THE MONTH OF REMEMBRANCE
The Church has a long tradition of remembering those who have passed on to the love
and mercy of God. We do this in a special way on the Feast of All Souls, November 2,
and throughout the month of November. Here at St. Patrick’s, we have the Names of the
Dead placed in the Sanctuary of the Basilica where they will remain to be remembered
throughout the month of November, and at masses throughout the year. The following
prayer is recommended throughout this month in private and communal recitation:
“Eternal Life grant to them, O Lord.
May their souls and the souls of all the faithful departed,
through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.”
SAINT PATRICK'S BASILICA CHOIR
The Basilica Choir welcomes new members with some music reading skills or experience

MISSALS: The missals for the upcoming year are available at the west door in the
pamphlet rack. The cost is $6.
BASILICA WEDDING: Ka Lo Carol Chan and Benjamin Ping Kwan Leung were
