 Items requested are: toothbrushes, toothpaste, deodorant, small wet wipe packages, reusable grocery bags, reusable water bottles (new only), face towels, socks (new only), protein bars & small individually packaged snacks.

If anyone is able to donate these items, we will be collecting them until September 4.

Please drop by the Cathedral office Monday—Thursday or deposit in the labelled box in the Narthex (see warden on duty if you have any questions).

Financial donations to help cover these necessities are also welcome (please contact the Parish Office for more information about financial donations).

Please note that any left-over items will be donated forward either to the Cathedral Café or to the Indigenous Drop-In Centre for the homeless.

God of all life, we ask forgiveness for all the unreasonable demands we have made on the Earth. Stir our hearts into action as global temperatures increase.  Inspire us to make positive differences in the whole world around us.

At our last community engagement meeting, we acknowledged our ministries in connecting with our local community. We felt one way in which we could further support them is through prayer. We’d invite your submissions for prayer to create a new prayer list including businesses, organizations, and groups for which you would like to pray. Please send all submissions to Sue Crowe Connolly at croweconnolly@gmail.com

In this year of unprecedented wildfires from coast to coast, PWRDF is establishing a fund specifically for in‑Canada emergency response.

In recent years, Canada has experienced an increase in the frequency and severity of natural disasters such as wildfires, hurricanes, and floods, affecting thousands. This new fund will allow PWRDF to respond quickly when a diocese asks for support, rather than wait to raise funds for individual disasters.

You can donate directly to the fund here.  You may also mail a cheque to PWRDF at 80 Hayden Street, 3rd floor, Toronto, ON, M4Y 3G2. Please indicate In-Canada Emergency in the memo field. Lastly, donate during business hours by calling 416-822-9083  (or leave a message toll-free at 1-866-308-7973) and your call will be returned. 

The Cathedral Café is still seeking lightly used summer clothing. 

Thank you to those who have already generously donated.

The clothing is going out as fast as it comes in! 

Rally your friends and look through your closets.  Please drop off in Myler Hall marking “donation for Cathedral Café” or request pick up by contacting

Kerry Lubrick at kerryllubrick@gmail.com or 905-679-2828.
