Fall Fair Success
A sincere thanks to all who supported and helped in any way to make the
Fall Fair a great success. I express appreciation to all the volunteers
who coordinated all the events and to you the patrons for supporting the
cause. The activity night at the hall which included nail driving contest,
tug of war, hat contest, pie contest, log sawing contest and dart
competition was a time of fun for all. I congratulate Betty Pearl who
defeated Joe Somerton in the nail driving contest. I trust such a defeat
is not too painful ( ha) . We hope to have more of these activities and
help promote the true spirit of our parish.

will include : costs for the meats and some vegetables for the suppers;
bingo supplies; liguor purchase; bar tender; music for the dance; and
other miscellaneous costs. We estimate the expenses will be approximately
$2000.00.
We salute all who helped with our success and I wish to thank the many
businesses who donated to our many events. Please continue your spirit of
generosity.
Season of Advent
During the advent season we will continue the spirit of the gospel as we
" prepare the way for the Lord". During the weekend liturgies,
at the end of each mass I will read to the kids for 2 minutes a book which
reminds us of the many ways we can prepare for the Lord . Please take your
time at the end of mass and listen to the message of the story book. It is
very special and it is not only of value to children but also to adults.
Also, we will have a Jesse tree which we will have tags with food items
written on each one. You may take a tag and bring your food item to the
church and this donation will be forwarded to our local food bank.

New Years Eve Party
Are you interested in joining us at the hall for the New Years Party? We
are considering in having a dance. It is our hope that we can make it a
cheap evening with a cost of $5.00 per person. You may bring your own food
and we will provide the kitchen facilities and the decorations of the
bells and whistles required for the evening.
With regards to the music, Riv. Ford has volunteered to provide the
entertainment along with his friends. We do not intend this to be a formal
evening but just a place to gather and enjoy the company of friends. If
you are interested in attending and wish to purchase a ticket, please call
the parish office . Tickets will be available by contacting The Parish
Office, John Kent, Clara Hammond, or George Jackman. The deadline for the
purchase of tickets must be Friday, December 20th. We need to know who is
attending in order for us to determine whether it will be a viable venture
for the parish.
