Flowers for Christmas: As is our custom, we decorate the church with flowers for Christmas. If you would like to give a donation to the Christmas flower fund in memory of a loved one, please place it in an envelope and deposit it in the collection plate, the mail slot, or give it to Father Shawn by December 20th so the names can be included in the Christmas bulletin. Any received after December 20th will be in the December 30th bulletin
The CLB is selling Pewter ornaments again this year titled “Santa and the kids”. These sell for $10.00 each and proceeds from the sale of these ornaments go to help the CLB in the Parish and the Diocese. If you are interested in obtaining a Christmas Ornament call the church office at 782-3071.
Advance Notice: All leaders and Heads of Organizations in the Parish are reminded that the Annual Meeting will be held in February. Please have all your reports into Father Shawn by January 20, 2007.
Are you caring and compassionate and enjoy helping others? The Canadian Cancer Society is in need of volunteers to drive clients to and from their scheduled appointments. Just a few hours a week can enhance the quality of life of someone with cancer. For more information, call 753-6520.
We are one year into paying off the loan which we acquired to do the $50,000.00 worth of work on the church last year. We still need to raise approximately $25,000.00 to pay off the rest of the loan. If you have not yet given to help with this expense, please consider a donation. If you have already pledged and given, we thank you most warmly.
Are you or family members bothered by someone else's drinking? If so, maybe al-anon/alateen family groups can help you. For further information, please call 722-2666.
