Christmas can feel busy and overwhelming, yet our hearts long for peace and meaning. We’re not alone. Let’s gather at St. Patrick’s to celebrate Christmas - where the story of Jesus brings hope, light, and new life. Come as you are. There’s a place for you. 🎄✨

Life’s journey is lighter because of the friends who live in our hearts. God places people along the way to encourage, sustain, and bless us. Give thanks for those wonderful friendships. #ThoughtForTheDay from St. Eugene de Mazenod 🙏✨

This morning’s Mass in the Cathedral High School chapel, led by the Canada & World Studies Department, featured the “odd” Gospel of Jesus’ genealogy. A family tree full of real, imperfect people - and yet God worked through them. A beautiful reminder that our own stories truly matter to God. 🙏✨

Here, Christ the King doesn’t sit on a throne - He lies on a bench. #HomelessJesus calls us to confront injustice and stand with the oppressed. In every marginalized person, the Liberating Christ restores dignity and urges us to build a world where all can rise. @stpatshamilton.bsky.social
