SFDS Flames Alumni Community

Dear parishioners and friends of St. Francis de Sales, Burnaby,

June is alive with the energy of the World Cup... and the Church draws us to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus. We see the passion everywhere, inside and outside stadiums and at watch parties… and we pause to reflect: what if even a fraction of that fire were directed toward the things that last?

Throughout this month, we're invited to contemplate the Heart of Christ—open and overflowing with love... given not because we earned it, but because He simply pours Himself out for us. This is a love we're invited to faithfully receive at every Mass. This is a love that's meant to ignite our own hearts.

In the Gospel this Sunday, Jesus is moved with deep compassion and reminds us: “The harvest is plentiful, but the labourers are few.” Our world is full of people searching and waiting and hey... we are sent to bring that love into the week ahead. At Mass, The Holy Eucharist that we receive is our strength... meant not to be held, but to move with us into that waiting world.

So let's get moving team! There are so many yearning hearts 'out there' who are only going to know God's love through us, through you.

Keep inviting those whom you know back to church, dear friends. And, if you happen to be home bound, please join us online by accessing our live-stream Mass button below for this 11th Sunday in Ordinary Time at 9:00am Mass - Sun., June 14:

God bless you,
