Service Saturday 2009

First, we are hosting our second annual parish-wide "Service Saturday" which will give us all the opportunity to reach out to the community by partnering with the St. Vincent de Paul Society, Bridges Shelter, the Carmelite Sisters in St. Agatha, and Michael House for unwed mothers. Various opportunities to help include: Sorting clothes, painting, serving a meal to the homeless, and helping shut-ins. All hands are needed ... Come lend a hand, no matter how small!Second, we will be hosting a "Green Bag Saturday" from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. in our Parish Centre. Bag all the clothes, shoes, hats, belts, household items, etc., that you no longer want and bring them to the Parish Centre. These will be sorted by parish volunteers and distributed to the St. Vincent de Paul Thrift Store and Bridges Shelter. We will also accept items such as cleaning products, liquid laundry detergent, diapers (up to size 5), Little Swimmers diapers, baby clothing for 6 months or older, diaper bags, bottles and fitted crib sheets for Michael House.
