40th Anniversary of Ordination
Monsignor Ambrose Sheehy, Pastor of Blessed Trinity Parish, Toronto, will be celebrating his 40th anniversary of ordination to the Priesthood on Sunday June 3rd at the 12:15 noon Mass. He was ordained at St. Michael’s Cathedral by His grace Archbishop Philip Pocock on June 3rd, 1967 and for a few years (1975-1977) served at OLPH as Associate Pastor with Monsignor Barnett. Following Mass there will be presentations and reception in the parish hall. The Church is located at 3220 Bayview Ave., just north of Finch Avenue. All are invited to Blessed Trinity to join Monsignor and his family, as he celebrates this happy occasion. Thanking you in advance for your help with our celebration.Results of Recent OLPH Web Site Survey
We thank the 25 parishioners who responded to our recent survey, although that included 9 who did not visit the site at all (no computer). Based on that very limited feedback, it seems that they are generally satisfied with the web site - in contents and ease of use. Most visited the site once a month or less, a few others 2-6 times a month on average. The popular areas were Bulletins/homilies, News/events and Photo Gallery. The survey was taken before the audio version of homilies were started since Palm Sunday. Now it appears that the audio homilies are the most frequently visited area.
If you missed participating in the survey or you have any comments at any time (good or bad), please contact us at webmaster@olphtoronto.com.
