WELCOME BACK FR. OSCAR MONROY: Please welcome back and pray for Fr. Oscar as he travels to celebrate mass for us this weekend and next. Note there will be no weekday masses while Fr. Liju is away. Also please keep Fr. Liju in your prayers during his absence.
HUGE THANK YOU to Clifford Cawley, Our Lady of Peace’s own Snow Angel. It doesn’t matter if it is -5 or -35, Clifford is here shoveling snow from our walks making it safe for all parishioners. Thank you Clifford for your dedication to our parish!
YEAR-END TAX RECEIPTS: Please pick up your 2018 tax donation receipts from the table at the back of the church. Also, for those who have not yet picked up your 2019 donation envelopes they are also on the table at the back of the church.
2ND COLLECTION: A second collection will be collected this weekend, Feb 9 & 10. This is a collection that goes towards our Roof Fund. Thank you for your generosity!
THANK YOU TO SRS. MARIE & PAULA: Last Saturday, February 2, was World Day of Consecrated Life. Consecrated men and women teach us that there is nothing to fear, and everything to gain by attentive and loving obedience to all that Jesus teaches us. We are very fortunate in our parish to have two such wonderful examples of what it means to love God unconditionally. Prior to retiring Sr. Marie spent many years with our youth in St. Marguerite School; and, Sr. Paula worked tirelessly with the poor and the refugees of not only Innisfail, but of Canada and the World. Their love of life and sense of humour is infectious. Please take a few minutes to thank Srs. Marie and Paula for all they have contributed to our parish; and show them the love they have so freely given all of us.
