“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace...so that you may overflow with hope.” Romans 15:15 Project Advance is our tangible way to help those in need and raise funds to maintain our own church so it is a welcoming space. Our parish goal this year is $100,000. Of this, $35,300 will go to the Archdiocese to support their programs. Remaining funds will be returned to the parish for our use. With these funds, we plan to replace the carpets throughout the building, refurbish the downstairs washrooms, and continue our evangelization work by supporting youth ministry activities. Please give prayerful consideration to making a gift to Project Advance. Every gift, regardless of the amount, is important. You can make your gift at the table in the foyer this coming weekend, at the parish office, or through the Sunday collection basket. You can also donate online at http://www.projectadvance.ca Thank you for your generosity.
