Thank You
Thank you to all the people who helped make dinner & rosary a wonderful event in our parish in May. A special thank you especially to St Vincent de Paul, the St. Anne's Mother's group, volunteers of the living rosary, & those volunteers who helped prepare the dinner before the rosary.
CWL Thank You
The Catholic Women’s League would like to thank the Parish for their support at the Bake Sale & Concession during the recent Knights of Columbus Garage Sale.
Adorers Needed
We require extra adorers because the Blessed Sacrament can never be left alone & extra coverage is needed when someone is sick or unable to attend. The overnight hours on Thursdays are a blessing for all, so we need support to ensure they continue.
If you are able to fit an hour in your schedule to spend with Jesus please contact Heather at heather.burdeyney@shaw.ca as soon as possible. Thank you.
