Helping Hands Food Bank At Christmas:  Each year at Christmas over the past many years, the foodbank has been able to purchase extra food towards a Christmas dinner for our families and clients in need. These purchases have been possible through financial donations from churches, service groups and private individuals. So again this year we are appealing to the public for monetary donations to help us offset some of the costs for those less fortunate. Any cheques should be made payable to Helping Hands Foodbank and then place envelopes in the collection baskets. And we thank you for all your support during the year and may all of you have a Blessed Christmas.

Within our three-church parish we have received a gift of a framed image of Mary, Queen of Peace, that has been blessed. Just as Our Lord on the Cross expressed His desire for John to receive Mary as his mother, we too are to receive Mary as our spiritual mother, leading us to her Son. Parishioners are invited to take this picture and hang it in their homes for 9 days welcoming the Queen of Peace into their hearts and their family life. The picture can be picked up and dropped off at the Chapel in Marysville. To schedule your 9 days call Karen Shannon at 613-848-5833.
