~Book of the Month Club Update~ . Thank you to everyone who has signed up and pre-ordered a copy of December's book: The Sermons of St. Francis de Sales: For Advent and Christmas. . As of today, November 21, all 25 copies have been ordered, praise God! I am sorry if you were hoping to order a copy and have missed out. Please join us for the January book.... . Because of such an overwhelming response, I will be ordering 40-50 copies of the January book, which will be announced in early December. . If you would like to pre-order (blind order - trusting my judgement) a copy of the January book, please feel free to call the parish office at 905-358-7611 or email Manon at [email protected]; don't miss out! . When the books arrive, you will be notified and they will be available for pick up at the parish office. Fr. Stephen

Here is the November edition of Transcendentals of which I am a found contributor. "Our theme this month, The Incarnation of the Transcendentals, is fairly straight forward. It is meant to encapsulate the time when Catholics prepare for the Feast of the Nativity: the liturgical season of Advent. There are many ways we can prepare ourselves for Christmas and there are many lessons to ponder on during this season. Ultimately, as you will see by the following pieces, these lesso...ns should orient towards the preparation of the arrival of Jesus: who is the Word Incarnate and truth, beauty, goodness Incarnate." My essay this month is titled, "The King Shall Come When Morning Dawns". Please let me know what you thought about it in the comment section below. Fr. Stephen
