Saint Vincent de Paul FREE Summer Camps are back!

Posted on by

Decorative ImageAfter a two-year shut down Camp Marygrove (for girls, ages 5-13) and Camp Ozanam (for boys, ages 7-12) have spaces open for those children in are parish who would not otherwise be able to afford a summer camp experience. These one-week summer camps are free and run consecutively through July and August. Completed applications need to be forwarded to Toronto Central Council by May 20th due to reduced numbers of spots necessary to comply with pandemic protocols and best practices.

Interested campers and at least one of their guardians must meet with SVDP St. Peter’s volunteers to complete the application forms. This year in addition to the application form, and ‘to size’ copies of the front and back of the child’s Ontario health card, we will also require printed verification of two approved Covid-19 vaccinations. To schedule an appointment or find out more please leave a message at 416.534.4219 extension 229. Leave your name, number of children, home address including postal code and the best number and time to reach you.

If you think you would like to join Saint Vincent de Paul’s St. Peter’s volunteers or would like to find out more information about their ministry to the poor and marginalized of our community, you can leave a message at the same number. Serving in Hope.

Decorative ImageIt is a very rare thing for me to get to a Toronto Maple Leaf game. Tickets are expensive and hard to come-by. Recently, as a result of the pandemic, it has been even more rare for any of us to take in a game. I think because it has been about three years since I had last been to a game, I was quite taken in by the whole atmosphere of the crowd and the spectacular environment of the whole show; not just of the game, but of the environment that surrounded the whole game.
