Ministries

The Adult Bible Study at Our Lady of the Rosary parish provides a program of continuing study for new and long term Catholic faithful in the Parish who want to learn more about our Faith and our Church.

The focus is on the Word of God and the way in which the Magisterium of the Church has always interpreted the passages in the Bible as they relate to everyday living. We use a textbook entitled: Understanding the Scriptures written by Dr. Scott Hahn who presents a Catholic approach to Scripture, highlighting the theme of covenant.

Tracing a path through salvation history, the book explains the various parts of the Bible and the importance of each part. Understanding the Scriptures will provide students with an understanding of Sacred Scripture that is critical to their Catholic Faith. The Adult Bible Study meets each Sunday at 6:15 pm in the large hall next to Our Lady of the Rosary parish office.

There are no prerequisites, just a willingness to read the Bible and the textbook, and to engage in discussions each week. Contact Bob & Judy Sicotte Ph 474-2119

Knights of Columbus, Langford Branch 8394

The Knights are a fraternal benefit society, under the auspices of the Roman Catholic Church, organized under a charter granted by the General Assembly of the state of Connecticut, on March 29, 1882. It is governed by a Supreme Council and a Supreme Board of Directors, with headquarters in New Haven, Connecticut ; and it has 61 “state councils”, of which 9 are Canadian provincial councils. The society does not, however, confine itself to insurance benefits and social interests, but has from the beginning devoted its energies to educational, charitable, religious, social welfare, war relief and welfare, and public relief work.

The Social Eco Justice Ministry’s mission is to spread awareness, and work towards positive action concerning the “Cry of the Poor” and the “Care of Our Common Home” – the Earth. SEJM is an outgrowth of the Development and Peace “Share Lent” and the “People and Planets First” Campaigns, inspired by Catholic Social Teaching.

We meet on the first Tuesday of most months. We are currently having a series of monthly walks, to pray and discuss the encyclical “Laudato Si”.

The mission of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul implies that as Vincentians we see Christ in anyone who suffer; come together as a family; have personal contact with the poor; help in all possible ways.

Conference members meet in the small hall every third Wednesday afternoon at 1:00 p.m.
Members visit people in need in emergency situations or as needed. These outings, called “Home Visits”, are a way for Society members to visit a person in the privacy of their own home.

Thirty-second Sunday in Ordinary Time

November 08, 2026 

The tone of our readings takes a major shift this month as we move toward an ending and a new beginning. The readings focus on disaster, change, and the end times and what it takes to prepare ourselves for such moments. Wisdom is the central theme of today’s readings. The wedding banquet is a regular image of eternal life in the Gospels.

The wedding banquet is a consistent image of eternal life in the New Testament. We can only speak about the unknown and unfamiliar in terms of what is known and familiar. The wedding banquet highlights eternal life as that state in which the deepest hunger and thirst in our lives will be satisfied, especially the hunger and thirst for love, for God who is love. When God comes to bring us, will we be ready?
 
The time that we have in life is God’s gift to us. It is not our time. And it certainly is not unlimited time. Too often we live like we will be able to solve our problems tomorrow, fix our relationships next month, take the time off we need next year.
 
When we are faithful to the relationship with the Holy, we put oil in our lamps for when we need it. Moral courage is stored there, as is access to wisdom, compassion, and the willingness for self-sacrifice. When darkness arrives, and the oil is required, it will be there for us.
 
The gospel is about getting ready and prepared for the end time, our end time. What does it mean to be ready spiritually? We will be ready if we have sprinkled God’s Word here and there and given our best efforts to what we know is good and right. If we consistently have loved and served others with whatever talents we have, then I think we will be ready.
 
The truly wise person is the one who has not waited until “some time in the future” to make Jesus fully part of their life. Planning for the end times requires wisdom. As Joni Eareckson writes: “the times we find ourselves having to wait on others may be the perfect opportunities to train ourselves to wait on the Lord.”
 
“Don’t wait till you die to go to heaven,” said a wise priest. This is the spirit of end-times that will not stay put at the end of the line. Purgation is something we consciously choose now, just as we might also choose the way of justice, peace, joy, gratefulness, humility, and love. What rightfully concerns us is the choice we are making in the present hour, the oil we have in our lamps today, and whether we carry the bridegroom in our hearts or some other fleeting goal. If we are in Christ today, we are in Christ for keeps.
 

Seek the Lord

New Church Construction Updates

The building project is progressing well. On the lower level, painting is underway and flooring has begun, while new concrete stairs are being completed. On the upper level, utilities and insulation are installed, drywall is being finished, and most of the metal roofing, siding, and exterior paint are done. The Nave structure is rising, with roof trusses, scaffolding, and utility installations in progress. Outside, the site is being leveled for parking and landscaping, and plans for the Early Learning Centre play areas are being reviewed. Despite a setback with the original framing contractor, Kinetic Construction has taken over, keeping delays minimal.
