Roof Update. . . . Members of your Construction Committee were in Edmonton this past Wednesday for a meeting with the Archdiocese Review Committee. They were very pleased with the direction we have gone with our church drawings, and, with all your hard work with donating and fundraising. They have approved our project and we expect to be starting construction shortly.
Thank you all for your continued patience and support!
KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS: Congratulations to Greg Raber, the new K of C Grand Knight.
TOONIE DRAW: A toonie gives you a chance to win one of four great prizes at the end of August. Prizes include: golf package for two from Bowden Highway Golf Association, valued at $75; a $50 gift certificate from Fireside Restaurant; two hand quilted pillows, unique and priceless; and, Boston Pizza gift certificates for two personal pizzas and soft drinks, valued at $20. Enter as often as you wish. All proceeds go to the building fund.
FUNDRAISING: 1) The Travel Voucher Raffle is also up and running. Raffle tickets will be sold at the same time the gift cards are being sold after masses and again in the parish office during office hours. You are also encouraged to take a book of tickets to sell. Do not be discouraged if you cannot sell the whole book. All you need to do is sell as many as you can, return the unsold tickets with the money collected and someone else can take the book and sell it. 2) The Gift Card Fundraiser will be going ahead. Gift Cards to NoFrills, Co-op and Tim Horton’s will be available for purchase twice a month at mass (first weekend of the month and the first weekend after the 15th of each month) and in the parish office during office hours. This is a wonderful way to support our roof fund without it costing you any extra money. 3) We will be doing a Fall Value Village Fund Drive so please save your surplus clothing, bedding, and small household items. More details to follow at a later date. 4) Do you have that difficult someone that you don’t know what to buy them? Or you wish to make a donation in memory of or in lieu of flowers for someone who has passed? Have you thought of making a donation to the roof fund in their name? Your donation will receive a tax receipt. THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT TO OUR FUND RAISING ACTIVITIES!

Gratitude may be the most underestimated virtue. We think of love, hope, faith, and the power of prayer and forgiveness. But how often do we stop each day and give thanks for all the blessings in our lives? Are we too focused on what we lack, what we don’t have, don’t want, don’t need? By opening the heart and mind to focus on gratitude, we unleash a treasure of unceasing good that’s just waiting to flow into our lives. A grateful person knows that by giving thanks, they’re given even more to be thankful for. Holy Spirit, open my heart and mind to gratitude for your gifts.
PLEDGE/COMMITMENT SHEETS FOR OUR ROOF FUND ARE AVAILABLE AFTER MASSES AND IN THE PARISH OFFICE.
