Save Summer Jobs & Reach Out to Your Member of Parliament Is it fair that Canadians must agree with the government to be eligible to participate in a federal program? Groups applying for the 2018 Canada Summer Jobs grant were required to indicate their agreement with certain beliefs held by the current federal government. This contravenes the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which guarantees the freedom of religion and conscience, of thought, belief, opinion and expression, as well as equal protection and equal benefit of the law without discrimination. Dozens of Catholic organizations throughout the Archdiocese of Toronto were impacted by this policy. Cardinal Collins invites you to write to your federal Member of Parliament to respectfully express your concerns. Visit to send a message to your MP. It will take less than 3 minutes. You can also donate at the same site to support those organizations directly impacted. A Canada Summer Jobs collection will be taken on June 23/24 at all Churches.

To register please summercampga@gmail.com or call Sharon at Why a Catholic Funeral? (Author: Fr. Michael Cummins) continued The options of readings, music choice (i.e. church hymns) and what it is appropriate to do within the ritual are there precisely in order to perform this ritual of commending the loved one into God s mercy and eternity. This structure of the ritual is not meant to deny or diminish the loved one or her or his life in any way. A celebration of life (a current expression used in the funeral business) is all well and good but such a celebration ends at the grave and can go no further. The Catholic funeral, in its depth of ritual and meaning, reminds us that the grave has been overcome not by our wishing it so but by the death and resurrection of Christ our Lord! The Catholic funeral reminds us and brings us into this greater context and this is extremely important because only the resurrection of Christ conquers the tomb, only the resurrection of Christ says death is not the final word, only the resurrection of Christ gives the true hope that comforts and heals us in our sorrows. No person likes to think of his or her death. We just don t want to go there but I encourage people to at least reflect on the beauty and meaning of the Catholic funeral and let your loved ones know your desires and wishes. In the end, the church has no legal way to require persons to celebrate a loved ones funeral in a particular way. A funeral should respect who a person is and a person s faith tradition is an essential component of who one is and the hope we have as Christians. Also, in relation to this topic, our Catholic faith has a wonderful tradition of having Masses offered for our dearly departed. This tradition is rooted in our firm belief in the resurrection. In the resurrection of Christ, death has been overcome and just as we pray for one another while here on earth so we can assist our loved ones who have

7 died with our prayers just as they can pray for us. The Mass said for a deceased loved one is a way that the Church gathered offers prayers for a loved one as he or she is brought into the beatific vision-full life with God. Yes, we can pray for our deceased loved ones and it is important to do so. Scripture often testifies to the power of the prayers of the gathered community. If you wish to have a Mass offered for a loved one contact your parish office. It is a holy thing to do and an act of mercy. Did you know? The Archdiocese of Toronto is Canada s largest diocese, stretching from Toronto north to Georgian Bay and from Oshawa to Mississauga. It is home to 2 million Catholics and 225 Churches, with Mass celebrated in more than 30 languages each week.
