Please Note
During the coming week, I plan to take a few days for my holiday. I will
be in town for the early days of the week for Mass at the Senior Homes and
to participate in the Pastoral Days for Priests on Monday and Tuesday. I
will be away from the parish from October 9th until 17th. It has been a
busy summer and I just want to get a break before the schedule gets too
busy.
Ministry Sunday
Sincere thanks to all who registered for our Ministry Sunday. When I
return back from my holidays, I will meet with the various groups who
minister in our parish and give to you a copy of the ministry schedule.

Hall Rental
Our parish hall is available for rent as you celebrate the special events
in your life. Please call the parish office and discuss the rental fee.
Your support to the parish by renting our hall facility is much
appreciated.
Financial Update
Once again we give you an update on the financial administration of our
parish. Since our last update we have continued to improve our parish
properties with the following: we have renovated the room in our church
located below the sacristy with the installation of a new washroom; we
have painted the hall way in the parish hall and sections of the main
hall; continued improvements to our cemetery during the summer months; and
we have completed various works around the priests residence.
The financial picture of the parish is positive and we look forward to
your continued support. At the present time, with all bills paid, we have
$ 21,366.85 in our parish operating account. This is a very good financial
standing and we must continue to seek your support. The weather will
continue to get cold and therefore the heating costs will increase. Our
insurance bill for the year has increased by $900.00 and therefore our
total insurance bill for the year is $9,080.00. The cost to operate the
parish is very high and we must continue to be cautious with our spending
and always fundraising because our weekly collection is not enough to meet
our regular monthly payments. In summary, I thank you for your excellent
support. I invite all parishioners to support the parish and for those who
do not support our parish financially, I hope they will make a financial
contribution when they use the church for weddings, funerals, baptisms and
other events in their lives. Please continue to be generous. At the end of
the year a more detailed financial statement will be available .
October: Month of the Rosary

During the month of October, we will pray the Rosary 15 minutes before
weekday Mass. I invite parishioners to join us for this time of prayer.
