Are You Able To Host A Ukrainian Family

When hearing reports of the war in Ukraine, and the millions of Ukrainians that have been forced to flee their homeland, many have asked what they can do to help. Over 80,000 Ukrainians have already arrived to Canada through a special visa program created by Immigration Canada. An additional 500,000 have applied to the program and are expected to arrive in the coming months. Many are arriving to Toronto and are without family here in Canada to help them. Among those will be some who are vulnerable to human trafficking, particularly seniors, single women, and women with children. There is an immediate need for families to host for a period of between one and six months some of those who have arrived. If you would like to learn more about hosting a Ukrainian family, please go to Archdiocese of Toronto Ukrainian Crisis and register for a virtual information session.

Message From Fr Aggie

“All Are Welcome” – A beautiful song composed by Marty Haughen, a song we will often sing as a faith community. The words speak to us and call us to be that place.

“Let us build a house where love can dwell and all can safely live. A place where saints and children tell how hearts learn to forgive. Built of hopes and dreams and visions, rock of faith and vault of grace here the love of Christ shall end divisions. All are welcome, all are welcome, all are welcome in this place.”

We hope you feel welcome and hope you come again, again and again, as the Parish of the Assumption is truly an active, diverse Catholic community. Yes, all are welcome here.

God Bless
