As the dawn breaks on a new year, Pope Francis has made 2025 a Jubilee Year of cerebration to be filled with great joy and love. Therefore as we stand at the beginning of this new year and look to the future, let us:

• Confess our need dear Father and our God, for Your constant presence and guidance.
• Give thanks for all we hold dear – our health, our love of family and dear friends and the joy and love for our beautiful church St. Joseph’s Toronto especially as we recognise and celebrate its past 40 years.
• Release any of our grudges, our anger and our pains, for these are nothing but binding chains.
• May we begin this year to live each day in the most loving ways, thanking God for the Gifts given in the most conscious way.
