In response to the Rohingya persecution in Myanmar, the Canadian Catholic Organization for Development and Peace-Caritas Canada is working with Caritas Bangladesh to support a food distribution program along the border with Myanmar. Development and Peace is also assisting Bangladesh with food and other emergency relief, given the enormous strain that the refugee crisis is having on their own country’s very limited resources. Until 28 November 2017 the Government of Canada will match all donations made to Development and Peace or any other eligible Canadian charity. If you wish to make a financial contribution to the Myanmar Crisis Relief Fund, we invite you to consult the following website for instructions on how to proceed:

CWL ANNOUNCEMENTS
“Inspired by the Spirit, Women Respond to God’s Call”
Our Provincial President Anne Madden, has asked that over the next two years we focus on the issue of homelessness. Our league helps in many ways, we donate money to soup kitchens, food banks and homeless shelters and we host a Friendship Meal once a year. We can also lobby the government to encourage the construction of affordable housing. As we approach the Christmas season, we are so busy with our shopping, baking and preparations, please remember the homeless, by supporting the Church’s outreach to the poor, or just buy that coffee or sandwich for somebody in need.
December 4th, 2017, Monday, 5pm to 6pm, CWL BAKE SALE at K. of C. Council #13655 Supper in the large hall. Your baking is much appreciated. Proceeds goes to charity.
December 5th, 2017, Tuesday, at 7pm, General Meeting & Elections, a Christmas Social will follow, bring your favourite baking to share. Tea and coffee will be available.

Fulton Sheen to pray for a particular child in the womb who is in danger of being aborted. To do this, give this baby a name and pray for him or her. There are slips at the entrance of the church on which to write the
chosen name of your baby. Fact : In 1988 the Supreme Court of Canada made its landmark decision to throw out the 1969 abortion law on the basis it was “unconstitutional”. To this day no abortion law exists
to protect the unborn in Canada.
Calling all young people! You have said YES at your confirmation! You have
opened your heart at reconciliation! Or you just love to sing or play an instrument!
What to do now? One way is to let your voice be heard!
Let your instrument be played! Take a leap of faith and share your musical talent. The Youth Music Group leads the congregation into songs of praise
and worship. Join us every 3rd Sunday of the month at the 11am Mass and for Christmas Eve 4pm Mass.
Practices for the Christmas Eve Mass will be after the 11am masses of Dec. 3rd, 10th and 17th.
There will be another practice Dec. 23rd, the time is to be determined. Contact Cathy at 705-942-8546 at the office or Franceline 705-946-1377.
PARISH FOOD DRIVE wishes to remind all parishioners that next weekend,
December 2 & 3rd is the monthly food drive for St Vincent Place. Their shelves are nearly bare, so please be as generous as you can
with your donations of non-perishable food items. Let's help them feed the hungry.
An extra special THANK YOU to each of you for your donations and we thank Mary Joan & Randy Johnson who have offered to take the food donations to Vincent Place.
