Welcome to St Michael’s Parish in Corkery
1824 – 2025
A strong faith filled community with devotion to the Sacred & Immaculate Hearts. Where Christ as King and Mary as Queen have been Enthroned in our parish and families. Our beautiful Grotto to the Holy Family and Rosary path continue to bless our parish. We share meaningful family connections, and a welcoming home to enrich your faith. Whether you’re new to the area or seeking a place to belong, we invite you to join us and discover the love of Jesus Christ under the pastoral leadership of Reverend Father Matthew Chojna.
The holy souls in purgatory are individuals who have died in God’s grace and friendship but are still imperfectly purified, requiring final purification to achieve the holiness necessary to enter the joy of heaven. They are assured of their eternal salvation but must undergo a period of cleansing to satisfy the temporal punishment due to their sins. These souls are dependent on the prayers and good works of the living for relief, as they can no longer perform penances or merit anything for themselves after death. The Church teaches that the faithful on earth can assist them through prayer, the offering of Masses, indulgences, and acts of charity.
Holy Face Devotion
Come join us in a powerful devotion to the Holy Face of Jesus every Tuesday evening after the 7:30 pm mass in reparation for modern affronts against the first three commandments concerning idolatry, blasphemy and irreverence, and to offer the wounded Face of Jesus, as an object of adoration and prayer to save souls and restore Christendom in Canada and throughout the world.
“I seek Veronica’s to wipe and honour my Divine Face, which has few adorers”.

Mass Intentions
The recommended stipend for a Mass intention is $15. Should an amount more than $15 be given to the parish, the balance will be considered a donation to the parish. Please be clear when asking for a Mass intention if your intention must be a single intention. If no mention of this is made at the time of your request, the intention may be placed with other intentions.
We also request that no more than 3 intentions be requested at a time. We kindly ask you to limit the number of requests per year to 30 for each family. It’s a small parish and we would like to be able to accommodate every family’s request.
Please contact the office – secretary@stmcorkery.caor 613-256-3441 – if you would like to have Mass intentions offered at Mass.
Blessing Sunday
The second Sunday of every month is Blessing Sunday. Please bring any religious articles, pictures, etc. to Mass to be blessed.
First Friday Adoration
First Friday overnight Eucharistic Adoration at St. Michael’s begins on the Friday at 7 pm and continues through the night until 8 am on Saturday, followed by Mass.
