Dear Parishioners,
Our beloved Pastor, Fr. Michel, is retiring after serving our community so beautifully these past 14 years. To honour his faithful service and wish him well, we invite you to either attend or livestream our Mass on the weekend of August 22/23, the feast of the Queenship of Mary, our patron.
Even if you are unable to attend Mass that weekend, we invite you to our Celebration Drive-By. After each Mass, Fr. Michel will be available in the parking lot to receive your blessings and greetings from your car as you drive by, maintaining physical distance. You may drop off a card of congratulations with one of the volunteers. If you wish, you may include a monetary gift only.
Finally, we are creating a photo tribute of our Pastor. Send a photo of yourself and Fr. Michel to olqueenoftheworld@archtoronto.org by August 10th. Include a message or quote by which you remember Fr. Michel.
Thank you and God Bless Fr. Michel as he enters his retirement.

SACRAMENTAL PREPARATION FOR FIRST COMMUNION, FIRST RECONCILIATION AND CONFIRMATION:
Within the Archdiocese of Toronto, Grade 2 and Grade 7 are generally considered to be the time when students prepare to receive their sacraments. In Grade 2, the children may prepare for First Reconciliation and First Holy Communion and in Grade 7, students may prepare to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation. Parents, if you wish to have your child(ren) receive their First Holy Communion or Confirmation in 2021 and participate in these sacramental preparation programs, you must contact the parish where you usually worship and attend Mass.
Visit your parish website to find out more information about sacramental preparation programs and how you can register for them. Please note: most parishes close registration for these sacramental preparation programs in the early Fall.
If your child is entering Gr. 2 or Gr.7 in Fall 2020, and Our Lady Queen of the World Parish is where you worship and attend regularly, please contact Dorothy Whelan for instructions on how to register online for the parish preparation program for First Communion and Confirmation. dwhelan@archtoronto.org

As a result, many of our staff are working double shifts with and are distanced from seeing their loved ones at home.
We need your assistance with donations of meals, snacks, coffee, drinks, plants, flowers etc. or services that you can provide.

Dear friends,
The pandemic has upended the lives of so many. Some are fortunate enough to have networks of family and friends and know how to access government programs. Many newcomers to Canada, however, were thrust into this crisis with little support.

Letter from Cardinal Collins re Pandemic, Sacramental Restrictions & Planning for a Return to Sacramental Life
Pope Francis’ Prayer to Mary during the coronavirus pandemic
O Mary,
you always shine on our path
as a sign of salvation and of hope.
We entrust ourselves to you, Health of the Sick,
who at the cross took part in Jesus’ pain, keeping your faith firm.
You, Salvation of the Roman People,
know what we need,
and we are sure you will provide
so that, as in Cana of Galilee,
we may return to joy and to feasting
after this time of trial.
Help us, Mother of Divine Love,
to conform to the will of the Father
and to do as we are told by Jesus,
who has taken upon himself our sufferings
and carried our sorrows
to lead us, through the cross,
to the joy of the resurrection. Amen.
O Christ Jesus
When all is darkness
And we feel our weakness and helplessness,
Give us the sense of Your Presence,
Your Love and Your Strength.
Help us to have perfect trust
In Your protecting love
And strengthening power,
So that nothing may frighten or worry us,
For, living close to You,
We shall see You in all that is Life-Giving
Around us.
PASTORAL CARE & COUNSELLING is available to parishioners at lcanlas@archtoronto.org. Lori’s secure online consultation can support you with personal, emotional or relationship struggles. Telephone consultations are also available.
You may pray this Act of Spiritual Communion when you are not able to be physically present at Mass. “My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love you above all things, and I desire to receive you into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive you sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace you as if you were already there and unite myself wholly to you. Never permit me to be separated from you. ” Amen.
