On December 4, 2011, Catholic Family Services of Toronto Foundation hosted a Mass of Comfort and Light. The Mass was meant to help all of those among us who are saddened or lonely because of separation from loved ones, or profound loss. Bishop Vincent Nguyen celebrated the Mass. Deacon James Shaughnessey, an Agency social worker and coordinator of the New Beginnings Program, delivered the homily.
