This weekend’s reflection... On the Feast of St. John Lateran, we remember the Church is more than a building - it’s all of us! 🌍✨ Our diversity reveals the beauty of Christ’s Body. Let’s welcome one another with open hearts and celebrate the unity we share in Him. 🕊️⛪️

This weekend we celebrate the rich diversity of our parish! 🌍❤️ Wear your cultural dress to Mass as we honor the unique contributions each of you brings to our shared journey of faith. Let's rejoice in our differences and unity!

Hamilton youth engagement growing A post-pandemic resurgence is being felt through a revitalized youth and young adult engagement in parishes across the Diocese of Hamilton.

Diana Quildon shares how our Children’s Liturgy brings the Gospel to kids in a way they understand, nurturing faith from a young age. Kids engage deeply, ask great questions, and grow in their faith each week.

Reject the spirit of harsh judgment. 🕊️ St. Eugene de Mazenod warned: “…misunderstanding, misjudging, openly criticizing everything… this is a wicked spirit.” Choose mercy over criticism - your kindness can break cycles of hurt. 🙏 #ThoughtForTheDay

Today, on the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we pause to honour the survivors of residential schools, remember the children who never came home, and commit to walking the path of healing, justice, and respect with Indigenous Peoples. 🧡 #TruthAndReconciliation #NDTR

Tonight our Dominican Republic Faith Experience (DRFE) Team took the next steps in planning St. Patrick’s @stpatshamilton.bsky.social Young Adults Mission Trip (Aug 2026)! We’ve decided not to travel through the US. Stay tuned for updates as we shape this life-changing journey of faith and service!

This weekend reflection: The Gospel of the rich man & Lazarus isn’t about “rich vs. poor” but about indifference. Christ calls us: see the person at your gate, act with compassion today, and build the bridge so no chasm remains... #SundayReflection

Celebrating Mass in our retirement homes is always humbling. In the faces of the sick, the lonely, and the dying, Christ’s presence shines so powerfully. A reminder that even in suffering, God’s love is near, tender, and alive among us. ✨ #Faith #Hope #PresenceOfChrist

Seeing Christ in the Poor: Protecting Dignity While Inspiring Compassion Disclaimer: This reflection was crafted with the help of AI, but it grew out of real conversations and heartfelt comments from our parish social media community.

Homelessness is not just a social issue — it is a human experience, one that is deeply personal, complex, and often heartbreaking. Those who come to our doors are (...) neighbours, children of God, carrying their own stories and burdens. @stpatshamilton.bsky.social

As seen today at our @stpatshamilton.bsky.social in the inner-city of Hamilton, ON… a homeless neighbour finds rest beside the Homeless Jesus statue. A powerful reminder that Christ is present in our streets, in the suffering, and in the most vulnerable. 💛🙏 #HomelessJesus

This weekend’s reflection: “Whoever is faithful in very little is faithful also in much.” (Luke 16:10) 🌱 Small acts of love - prayer, kindness, honesty - become seeds God turns into a great harvest. Be faithful in the little things and watch grace multiply! ✨ #SundayReflection

Welcome back, St. Patrick’s & Cathedral High! 🎒✏️ May God’s light guide your learning, friendships & adventures this year. Shine bright, laugh often & keep kindness at the heart of all you do. 🌟✝️ #HWCDSBBackToSchool

This weekend reflection (see Luke 14:1.7-14)… In a world that overlooks the poor, Jesus invites us to honor them. As St. Eugene de Mazenod said, “Know your dignity.” At God’s table, every soul has worth beyond measure.
