Thursdays in Advent
Catholic Physicians Guild Meeting
Attention to all students and parishioners in the medical field! You're invited to the Catholic Physicians Guild meeting, hosted right here at Canadian Martyrs in Newman Hall. This gathering is a wonderful opportunity to connect with Catholic healthcare professionals, explore the intersection of faith and medicine, and engage in meaningful discussions about the moral and ethical challenges in healthcare. For students, this is a great chance to gain valuable insights into your future career while building a supportive network of mentors who share your faith. We hope to see you there!
The Hamilton Catholic Physicians Guild is hosting this special event on "Gender Dysphoria". Our speaker is Dr. Moira Mary McQueen, Executive Director of the Canadian Catholic Bioethics Institute (CCBI). She graduated in law from the University of Glasgow, Scotland, and worked as a lawyer for several years, specializing in family law and juvenile court. After her Master of Divinity Degree from the Faculty of Theology, University of St. Michael’s College and the Toronto School of Theology, she graduated with a PhD in moral theology, also from St. Michael’s. She has been teaching moral theology at St Michael’s Graduate Faculty of Theology in the University of Toronto since 1994, and has written and co-authored many articles and book chapters in bioethics, fundamental ethics and other areas. Her book Bioethics Matters was updated and republished in 2011 and she is currently working on a book on moral distinctions.
First Friday
On the First Friday of each month, Fr. Gregory, Dcn. Andrew and Sr. Mary will visit those in our faith community who are ill, homebound, or otherwise unable to attend Mass and receive communion. If you or someone you know would benefit from First Friday visits, please get in touch with the office for more information.
Mary's Baby Shower: A Heartfelt Tradition of Giving
The spirit of giving and community at Canadian Martyr & McMaster's Saint Kateri University Student Centre is once again shining bright as we gear up for a heartwarming event – Mary's Baby Shower. This cherished tradition, rooted in compassion and the Catholic faith, has been a beacon of support for young mothers in need.
Back in 2019, some of our students from the chaplaincy joined hands to create a special initiative. They lovingly crafted baby items to donate to mothers in need, inspired by the life of Our Lady, who, as a young mother, had very little but a heart full of love. Just like the Holy Family, who sought refuge in a foreign land, these young mothers too face unique challenges and are in need of our help and support.
The students, drawing inspiration from this powerful connection, decided to launch “Mary's Baby Shower.” This heartwarming donation drive is an invitation to the community to contribute much-needed baby items for young mothers who have courageously chosen to give birth despite the pressures to choose otherwise.
At all the Masses on the weekend of December 8th, we invite you to participate in Mary's Baby Shower. We will accept items throughout the week, however. Please bring items such as diapers, wipes, onesies, bibs, and other necessities, along with new infant outfits – all of which will be cherished by these young mothers. Let's remember that every little contribution is a step towards making a difference in their lives.
We kindly request that food items be excluded from the donations. Instead, we ask for your generous support to make 'Mary's Baby Shower' a resounding success. All the items collected will be given to Regina’s Place, a program run by Good Shepherd Ministries.
-
✔ baby wipes
✔ diapers (size 4-6)
✔ any hygiene supplies (e.g., shampoo, body wash, etc.) for adults or children/babies
✔ pencil crayons, markers, pens, small notebooks
✔ laundry soap, fabric softener sheets
✔ craft supplies, e.g., glue sticks, stickers, etc.
✔ bibs
✔ face cloths
✔ receiving blankets
As we approach this beautiful season of giving, let's come together as a community to support and uplift those in need, following the example of Our Lady and the Holy Family. Your contributions will make a world of difference in the lives of young mothers and their precious little ones.
Advent Bible Study
As Catholics we are blessed to have a God who graciously feeds and sustains us at the liturgy – at not only one but two tables! Jesus gives himself to us through the living bread at the Eucharistic table. But he also feeds us at the table of the Word, where he reveals the love story of God, and invites us to participate with him in the continuation of that story. Just as we are called to “become what we eat” in the Eucharist, so we are also called to discover our own mission in the living Word of God.
So please join us as we explore the Bible during Advent, specifically looking at the Sunday liturgical texts. We will chew on the social, literary, and spiritual context of these readings, and how they might nourish us in living the Gospel in our own lives and communities. We will meet from 10-11am on the four Sundays of Advent (December 1, 8, 15 and 22) in the Papal Suite of the Saint Kateri Student Centre. Please bring a Bible if you have one.
So come and ignite your passion for the living Word! Everyone is welcome.
Coffee Sunday

Bambinelli Sunday
Bambinelli Sunday, celebrated on the Third Sunday of Advent, is a tradition started by Pope St. John Paul II. Families bring the Baby Jesus (Bambinelli), from their home Nativity sets to church for a special blessing. It’s a way to invite God’s grace into your homes, and it reminds us that Christ is at the heart of Christmas.
On Sunday, December 15th, we’ll celebrate this beautiful tradition at Canadian Martyrs during Mass. We encourage everyone to bring their Bambinelli for a special blessing. After Mass, you’ll take your blessed figurine home, symbolically preparing your heart and home for the arrival of Christ at Christmas. Let’s celebrate together, deepening our Advent journey with this cherished tradition!

Rescue them from bitterness and shame
and refresh them with your love.
Heal the brokeness in all victims of abuse
and revive the spirits of all who lament this sin.
Help us to follow Jesus
in drawing good from evil, life from death.
Make us one with you in your love for justice
as we deepen our respect
for the dignity of every human life.
Giver of peace, make us one
in celebrating your praise,
both now and forever. Amen.

Bethlehem Banquet
McMaster students are invited to join us for an evening of fellowship, dancing, and food to celebrate the end of the semester and the upcoming Solemnity of the Nativity of Our Lord Jesus Christ. We will begin the evening with our Student Mass at 5:15 pm, and the event will run from 6 pm onwards. Looking forward to seeing you all there in your semi-formal attire. Everyone is welcome, whether this is your first Chaplaincy event or thousandth. Please invite your friends!
Advent Bible Study
As Catholics we are blessed to have a God who graciously feeds and sustains us at the liturgy – at not only one but two tables! Jesus gives himself to us through the living bread at the Eucharistic table. But he also feeds us at the table of the Word, where he reveals the love story of God, and invites us to participate with him in the continuation of that story. Just as we are called to “become what we eat” in the Eucharist, so we are also called to discover our own mission in the living Word of God.
So please join us as we explore the Bible during Advent, specifically looking at the Sunday liturgical texts. We will chew on the social, literary, and spiritual context of these readings, and how they might nourish us in living the Gospel in our own lives and communities. We will meet from 10-11am on the four Sundays of Advent (December 1, 8, 15 and 22) in the Papal Suite of the Saint Kateri Student Centre. Please bring a Bible if you have one.
So come and ignite your passion for the living Word! Everyone is welcome.
