Feeling uncertain about where life has placed you? St. Eugene de Mazenod reminds us: God chose the time and place. He sees what we can’t. Your role is to trust the path. Peace comes when you stop worrying and start believing He’s already ahead of you. #ThoughtForTheDay

Perfect way to start the day — Wednesday morning Mass at the Cathedral High School chapel. Grateful to our Gaels Guides for leading us in prayer. As we head into the day, remember: choose your friends wisely… and be a good friend!

St. Eugene de Mazenod reminds us: we can’t stay comfortable forever. Sometimes grace calls us to stretch. When you step beyond the familiar, God meets you there. Your growth becomes the path others follow. Courage. Trust. Move with Him. #ThoughtForTheDay

“Divinization, then, is true humanization (becoming fully human). This is why human existence points beyond itself, seeks beyond itself, desires beyond itself, and is restless until it rests in God.” Pope Leo XIV #InUnitateFidei

Today we mark the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. This year’s theme calls us to UNiTE to end digital violence. Online abuse is real harm. Let’s stand with survivors and build safer spaces for all women and girls. 🧡 #NoExcuse

In a world that rushes past pain, St. Eugene guides us back to the heart: act with kindness. When you choose compassion, you become the hero someone is waiting for. Small gestures. Big impact. Love always leads the way. #ThoughtForTheDay

“On the feast of Christ the King, I pray that every young person may discover the beauty and joy of following him, the Lord, and dedicating him or herself to his Kingdom of love, justice and peace.” Pope Leo XIV - Angelus November 23, 2025

Here, Christ the King doesn’t sit on a throne - He lies on a bench. #HomelessJesus calls us to confront injustice and stand with the oppressed. In every marginalized person, the Liberating Christ restores dignity and urges us to build a world where all can rise. @stpatshamilton.bsky.social

This is how treason appears: Washington has presented Ukraine with a 28-point plan that supports some of Russia’s key demands in the war. These demands include Kyiv ceding more territory, reducing its military size, and being prevented from joining NATO.

When the weight feels heavy, you’re not alone. Even St. Eugene de Mazenod felt the ache. But he reminds us: don’t push beyond grace - wait on Providence. In the quiet trust, God is already at work. Hold on. Hope is rising. ✨ #ThoughtForTheDay

This weekend we celebrate Christ the King… not a distant ruler on a throne, but the One who breaks chains of oppression and stands in solidarity with the poor and marginalized. His kingdom is justice, mercy, and liberation lived here and now.

On this Transgender Day of Remembrance, we honour the lives taken by violence and discrimination. We choose love over fear, compassion over hate, and justice over silence. May God hold their families close and guide us toward a safer, kinder world. 🕯️🏳️‍⚧️

When life feels uncertain, you’re invited into a deeper hope. “My faith in the power of prayers… leaves me some hope still.” - St. Eugene de Mazenod. Lean into prayer. Let hope rise. 🙏✨ #ThoughtForTheDay

Who could have imagined the day the U.S. would lean toward a murderous aggressor? This feels like a betrayal of the values we stand for. We must raise our voices. #StandWithUkraine 🇺🇦 tvpworld.com/90102358/ukr...
Ukraine may have to give up land and arms under US peace plan
Such a plan would represent a major setback for Kyiv.
