Mission Statement We, the community of the faithful of St. Mary of Carleton Place, inspired by the

living Spirit of Christ, join together in concretely living out in our daily life the message of salvation proclaimed by our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. From the mission received from our Baptism in the Risen Christ, we will endeavour to bring

his message of salvation to the world around us. Therefore, we will try to enrich

our parish community through our liturgical celebrations and regular prayer meetings, to deepen the faith life of our

community through Catechetical programs for children, youth and adults, to raise an

awareness of justice and peace in the minds and hearts of all people, and instill in all members of our Parish community a caring and loving disposition toward the poor, the sick and the needy of our wider community and of the world. Our parish

life and mission are dedicated to the patronage of Mary, Mother of Mercy, the true icon of our loving and merciful God.

Father’s Reflection

An Unquenchable Longing

All of us can experience moments of great joy because in his

goodness God allows us to taste on earth the joys of the

world to come. However, Moments of joy, no matter how

wonderful, will never satisfy the human heart.

What we long for is a permanent state of happiness. But that

is unattainable here. So what must we do? Like desert

travellers we must go forward from one oasis to another, with

the conviction that God has a homeland prepared for us at the

end of our journey. This conviction will make it possible for

us to travel onwards with an ache in our heart and an

unquenchable longing in our soul.

Christian Meditation

Do you want to spend some time daily with God

in silence? You can do so by learning how to

meditate. Join with others in a group to

practice Christian Meditation each Tuesday at

7:30 pm

in the chapel of St. Mary’s Church
