Farewell Father Doug Barrett & Family
On behalf of the parishioners of St. Michael's Parish, I bid farewell to
Father Doug Barrett of the Anglican Church who will be leaving the parish
and town at the end of September. Father Doug will be moving to New
Brunswick and will minister to the people as their pastor. I am very
thankful for the wonderful friendship I shared with Father Doug during the
past year and I am appreciative for his reverence and respect for the
church.
We pray that Father Doug and his family will continue to reap the
blessings of the Lord in his new ministry and we give praise and thanks
for his faithful service and fine Christian example. May God bless Father
Doug and his family.

Registration Forms
Home Religion Program/ Sacramental Preparation
The religious education for our children is the sole responsibility of the
parents / guardians . The role of the parish is to provide the religious
materials and coordinate the families to participate in the program.
Children: Age 5 & 6 are invited to participate in the year 1 program.
Children: Age 7 or older can participate in the year 2 program which
includes first Eucharist.
Children: Age 8 can participate in the year 3 program which includes First
Penance.
Children: Age 9 or older can participate in the Confirmation Program.
Please note that these age groups are flexible. It is up to the
parents/guardians to ask to have their child register for a particular
program. The main difference this year is that the religion program will
be completed at home and once per month we will meet with the
parents/guardians to evaluate their progress. For further information,
call Karen Seward 488 - 2560 or the parish office 488-2525. Registration
Forms are available at the parish office or at the church. Please complete
the form and submit a fee of $10.00 so that the parish can purchase the
materials required for each child
