EMERGENCY APPEAL FOR VICTIMS OF THE FLOOD IN PAKISTAN

In reply to a letter from the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops (CCCB), Bishop Mulhall en-
dorses support of financial assistance to the victims of Pakistan. In this view, he requests that all
parishes of the diocese contribute to the Bishop’s Collection for Pakistan” as soon as possible. A
collection for this cause will be taken up on the weekend of September 11-12.
The funds will be allocated to Development and Peace which, in turn, is collaborating directly with
Caritas Pakistan, the local Catholic Agency for relief and assistance which is also a member of
Caritas International, the Church’s global humanitarian aid network.

PARISH MINISTRY: The on-going renewal of our Parish Ministries affords opportunity for people
to live their baptismal call. One of our more pressing needs in liturgical ministry is for
hospitality ministers. Secondly, we will be seeking lectors for weekend Masses. It is a
most difficult task for Anne Smith, co-ordinator, to draw up effective schedules when
there is a shortage of volunteers to draw on. The more people involved, the fewer times
each is called upon to serve. Please call the office if you can assist in any way.
EXPLORING OUR CATHOLIC FAITH: Interest in exploring our Catholic Faith has been expressed by a
couple of people. The Rite of Christian
Christian Initiation is a process of preparing people for such a journey.
Some people, however, are interested in faith exploration
explorat ion and are not totally unaware of our traditions.
Consequently, we need to adapt a program in an appropriate way. We would, at this time, invite anyone who
is interested in such an exploration to contact the parish office now. We will prepare a process
process mindful of
where the participants are at in their faith journey.
