Labour Day
On Monday, September 6th , we celebrate Labour Day. It is a fitting time
to give thanks to God for the many blessings of human labour and to renew
our commitment to respect the dignity of all work. May we always ensure
that the workplace is a sacred place as we proclaim the blessings of God
and share the message of Christ to all people. On this Labour day, let us
pray for the hopeful opportunities for work on the Island especially as it
relates to the present discussion concerning new mining opportunities.
Visitation of Sick / Shut In's
On Friday, September 4th, I will visit the sick & shut-in's of our
Parish. If you are not going to be home on that date, please call the
office and let us know. Let us pray for the sick and shut-in's of our
parish.
Home Religion Program
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. This year 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.

Church Parking Lot
During the past week, we designated two parking spaces for the Physically
challenged near the main entrance of the church. It is kindly appreciated
that these two spaces be respected and used only by those who cannot use
the stairs leading to the upper parking lot. We ask that the Fire Lane be
free from all traffic especially in the event that we require emergency
services such as the fire trucks or the ambulance. Please do not park in
the fire lane.
