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.   

On the bulletin boards in each porch is a list of monthly rentals.  The hall is used quite extensively, and we try not to rent the hall on Saturday evenings; however, if you or someone you know, wishes to rent the Parish Hall have them call the Parish office at 782-3071.                  

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.

Thank you to all those who helped by bringing food for the food hampers last week.  Your assistance in helping others at this time of the year is greatly appreciated.
