Sandwiches for the Homeless
Saturday November 15th, 12 PM – 2 PM
We are having more of Sandwiches for the Homeless and you are cordially invited (or not so cordial, but still very much invited) to join us in spreading the joy and goodness of food all around downtown Montreal. Now, especially with the winter coming, we may also be giving out articles of clothing to hopefully help keep our lovelies around Montreal warm.
Just like the last time and forever will be, details as follows:
PREPARATION = 12:00 – 1:00 pm
DISTRIBUTION = 1:00pm – 2:00pm
WHERE? Newman Centre – along Peel just below its intersection with Docteur-Penfield. and of course all round downtown Montreal.
We also take DONATIONS of food, bottled water and some small warm articles of clothing (proper clothes guys, like socks, mittens, yada yada-be creative). Feel free to fill in the Google Doc that can be found on our Facebook page right here.
P.S. the preparation and distribution is by no means a block activity, feel free to pop in and out of the separate events, if you aren’t too comfortable with going out into the streets of Montreal, we would love your help with preparation or will take donations and vice versa or any way around (you get the drift)

YOUCAT on Tap: Who is Jesus?
Who is Jesus? Is Jesus God? Is Jesus human? Is Jesus some confused mishmash of the both? From it’s beginnings the Church has had to contend with many different and mostly erroneous ideas about who Jesus is and who Jesus isn’t. We call Him, Emmanuel, the Christ/Messiah, the Son of God, the Son of man, the Lamb of God, our Lord and Saviour, etc….
The central claim of Christianity is that God became human in the person of Jesus. This Friday at YOUCAT on Tap we will begin a months long exploration of the person Jesus of Nazareth, starting with the mystery of the Incarnation. ” And the Word became flesh and lived among us…” (John 1:14) Beer and pizza will be served as of 5pm, and discussion will begin at 5:30pm. Please bring friends!!!!
Special YOUCAT session with Archbishop Lepine
What is freedom and what is it for? But doesn’t freedom consist of being able to choose evil as well? Must we allow a person to use his free will, even when he decides in favour of evil?
These are some of the questions that Archbishop Christian Lepine will be addressing at the upcoming special Diocesan YOUCAT session at the Newman Centre. Please join us for some words of wisdom from our Archbishop! For more info check out this link Click here for the YOUCAT session Newsletter
