Twenty-Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time

‘Mat’ Leave! / Matt Arrive! Welcome to Matthew (Matt) Kallio. He is a Sudbury Native and a new musician being brought on to serve our worship needs. With the loss of Danny Shehata (going to Ireland to Medical studies) and our summer musician Kathryn Kettle (returning to University) and the soon to be born child of Christina Bégin (and maternity leave) we are more blessed to have a new musician on board! So Christina

will be on ‘mat’ leave and Matt will arrive!
