AN OPPORTUNITY TO HELP!

Vivian Ng has been the Program Coordinator of our Children’s Faith Program for the past 7 years. She has done an outstanding job and on behalf of the students and parents of our Children’s Faith Program, I want to thank her. Vivian is retiring at the end of this school year. We are in need of a replacement. Our Children’s Faith Program consists of about 20 classes, held at St. Gabriel’s School during the school year. The classes run from 10:00 AM – 11:00 AM every other Sunday morning. We are hoping that some of the parents whose children benefit from this program will come forward to co-ordinate the program. If you are interested in helping, please call the parish office and we will send you a job description of what is involved. Please give this appeal serious consideration, especially if your child is in the Children’s Faith Program.
Fr. Paul

THANK YOU!

A huge thank you to Marianne Zin-Orlowski, Suzanne Kilgore, Joseph Orlowski and Alex Seredenko for the marvelous concert on March 4th. It was a splendid program that was well attended and received.

GOOD SHEPHERD CENTRE

Thank you to the volunteers who prepared 55 casseroles for the Centre in March. For April, your prepared casseroles (frozen please) will be collected at the Masses on the weekend of April 28/29 for delivery to the Good Shepherd Centre. More volunteers are encouraged to become active in helping to feed our less fortunate sisters and brothers. If you require more information or would like to get a copy of the recipe and a casserole pan, contact Irene Albrecht at 416-221-2791.
