Seeking Gently Used Clothing for Men
I am trying to gather clothes for those experiencing homelessness in Vanier. Finding used men’s clothes is difficult, as men usually wear their clothes until they are worn out. If anyone can donate men’s clothes – shoes, boots, winter clothes, hats, shirts, pants – you would be bringing hope to those who have none. Donations can be dropped off at the church. Thank you and many prayers, Al Charette.
Seniors Mass for August
Mark your calendars! The next Mass for Seniors will be held on August 17th at noon.
Looking to Volunteer?
The Funeral Reception Committee is looking for parishioners who would like to volunteer and serve with their ministry. It is a beautiful way of interceding, consoling, and comforting members of our parish community who are grieving the loss of a loved one. For more information and to express interest in serving with the ministry, please contact Janet Warren at jpwarren@rogers.com or 613-749-7653.
