“Christ has no body now on earth but yours, no hands but yours, no feet but yours… Yours are the feet with which he walks to do good. Yours are the hands with which he blesses all the world.” Saint Teresa of Avila (1515-1582). This year the Project Advance theme “Stronger Together” emphasizes the importance of supporting the mission of our Church and the benefit of working together as a community. Each gift, regardless of its size is important in strengthening our Church. We ask everyone to prayerfully consider a donation within their own means to this year’s appeal. Gifts can be made at the table at the back of the church this weekend and next. Also, you can drop a donation in the collection basket (please indicate “Project Advance”) or donate online through the website http://www.projectadvance.ca Thank you for your support. May God bless you and your loved ones.
