As the Quebec school system no longer includes the teaching of the Catholic faith and practices, St. John Fisher Parish, along with all the parishes in the English-speaking sector of the Archdiocese of Montreal, is offering the Faith First Program. This Program provides parents with the proper tools and opportunities to experience a growth in faith with their children. The parameters of this Program, grade one through six, will include sacramental preparation for Reconciliation, First Communion, as well as for Confirmation.

Catechesis of the Good Shepherd
We are excited to announce that we will be
starting this beautiful new program in our parish on October 27th. Many volunteers
have been busy all summer and we continue to prepare the “atrium” in which we
will pass on the catholic faith to our young parishioners. There is still much work
to be done and we need help: woodworkers and artists, people who enjoy
assembling and installing Ikea shelves. We are also in need of the following items
to furnish the atrium. You may have these things in your homes and are no longer
using; child-sized tables and chairs in natural wood or painted white, candle
snuffer, green, purple and white pillar candles, small red candles, candle holders,
an oval rug, wood square boxes, silverware trays, small jewelry box or beautiful
box to hold mustard seeds (interior must be light-colored), baskets. We will be
going to purchase shelving and floor lamps at Ikea. If you cannot donate any of the
above items, would you consider donating ($40-$50) towards a shelf or lamp? If
you can help with any of the above, please contact Mary Griffin 514-694-8748 or
