Catechesis of the Good Shepherd
The Catechesis of the Good Shepherd is an approach to
the religious formation of children. It is rooted in the
bible, the liturgy of the church, and the educational
principles of Maria Montessori. Children gather in an
“atrium”, a room prepared for them, which contains
simple, yet beautiful materials that they use. On Monday
and Tuesday afternoons, here at Our Lady of Sorrows
Parish, children 3-10 years old gather each week in the
Holy Spirit Atrium. Although these groups are full to
capacity, there are currently several spaces available for...
Children 3-6 years old on Saturdays from 9:00 - 10:30
am. If you would like your child to participate in the
Saturday sessions or if you would like more information
about Our Lady of Sorrows’ Atrium and the Catechesis of
the Good Shepherd, contact Anna at 416-237-0529.

Let A Child Have Faith In You!
Foster Home Campaign
Catholic Children’s Aid Society of Toronto
Each year in the Catholic community, there are hundreds of
children that need to leave their family home and be placed
in foster care. At any given time, there are more than 1,100
children and youth unable to live with their parents due to
parental illness, abandonment, child abuse or neglect. The
Catholic Children’s Aid Society of Toronto depends on
loving foster families to provide safe and nurturing homes
for these vulnerable children and youth.
Sadly, there are not enough foster homes to accommodate
these children in the Greater Toronto Area. In the words of
Archbishop Thomas Collins: “I strongly believe that more
Catholic families would be open to caring for foster
children if they were aware of this urgent need for foster
homes. I am inviting you to seriously consider fostering,
and reflect on the benefits the experience can bring to your
family and vulnerable children in the community.”
The Catholic Children’s Aid Society continues to work with
parishes to recruit foster homes through its Let a Child
Have Faith in You campaign. If you would like more
information about making a difference in the life of a child
through fostering, please contact the Catholic Children’s Aid
Society by visiting: www.ccas.toronto.on.ca or by calling
416-395-1590.
‘Come and See’ Weekend

His call to follow Him whole-heartedly. Jesus is inviting
you to “Come and See” and spend time with Him so that
you may discover His call to the priesthood. This
weekend will provide an opportunity for young men 18
years or older to spend time in prayer & reflection and to
receive information on the process of becoming Christ’s
