SOCIAL NEEDS
Living the Gospel by supporting mental health wellness
Last year, over 3,200 people accessed individual, couple and family counseling at Catholic Family Services of Peel Dufferin, a ShareLife-funded agency. Given that depression has replaced back injury as the number one reason for absenteeism at work, these services are helping clients maintain employment and stay out of poverty. By supporting ShareLife agencies like CFS Peel-Dufferin, you’re helping people find health and happiness.
Today is ShareLife Sunday.
Thank you for your generosity.

Summer is often a time when donations decline quite a bit and your food donations are more important than ever. Please check the expiry dates before donating since we cannot pass on food that has expired.

On June 23rd, there will be a tour of the garden given by Paul Hayden, owner of Grow Wild Native Plant Nurseries, who will be supplying all the flowers for the garden. He will speak about each plant, its identification, why it was selected, its characteristics and cultural uses. This will be an opportunity to understand the vision behind the south garden and to get ideas for your own garden.
For more information on the Garden Ministry, or if you would like to help with watering, weeding and harvesting, contact Heather Bennett at heathermjb@gmail.com or leave your name and telephone number at the office.
