The parish is  looking for 45 volunteers to donate $7 to our Fall Fair table centrepieces.  We would like to purchase 45 Mums for each tables centre piece and around John Bartosch’s memorial plaque.

Each person who donates for the mums will be able to take home as many as they donated for.

If you wish to contribute please leave your name, contact information and $7 contribution with Diana at the parish office.

Also, we will be marking the flowers noting who our generous sponsors are, i.e. “Donated by Name”, and if you wish you will be able to take them home with you once the fair is over.

The Good Shepherd Mission in Toronto looks after many of the city’s homeless and helps them find a warm meal all year round. Each year they rely on the generosity of Torontonians who are able to donate food to make their mission possible. This year the parish will be sponsoring a Thanksgiving Food Drive to support the Good Shepherd Mission. Please consider donating canned tuna, canned meat, canned fruit or vegetables, canned soups and stews, peanut butter, jam, cereal teabags, instant coffee, cookies, rice, and crackers. Please no fresh fruits or vegetables or frozen food. Some parishes decorate their sanctuaries with flowers on the Thanksgiving weekend. Let us decorate ours with food to be offered to those in need. Please bring your non-perishable food donations to any of our Sunday Masses on the Thanksgiving weekend-Oct. 7-8

Vision:  a women’s interactive group of like-minded Catholics who wish to share relevant spiritual, familial and/or social issues while creating a sense of companionship in a positive, life – giving environment
