Dear Friends,
As we prepare to celebrate the Feast of St. Ignatius on July 31st, we are reminded of his invitation to seek God in all things and to respond to God’s many gifts with grateful hearts.
I am delighted to invite you to join the Jesuits of Canada for our St. Ignatius Day celebration on Friday, July 31, 2026. This special gathering is an opportunity to come together in fellowship, give thanks for the many blessings we have received, and celebrate the vibrant mission of the Society of Jesus.
Through friendship, prayers and support, the Jesuits continue their work of accompanying those in need, promoting justice, fostering growth, and serving communities across Canada and beyond. We are deeply grateful for the many ways you walk alongside us, and we hope you will join us as we celebrate all that has been accomplished together.
Date: Friday, July 31, 2026
Time: Mass begins at 10:30 am followed by celebrating in the parish rectory garden
