KNIGHTS
OF COLUMBUS RECRUITMENT SUNDAY –after all Masses this weekend. Please consider
joining the Knights of Columbus, St. Dominic Council. Their primary mandate is
to be of assistance to the parish where and when it is needed. They have been a
tremendous help to St. Dominic since their inception in 2012.
ANNUAL
HARVEST BAZAAR – Saturday October 1, 9am – 3pm. Sign-up sheets for helpers and
bakers are in the vestibule of the church. In order for this bazaar to be
successful, we need your help.
ST.
DOMINIC MINISTRY FAIR – October 22/23 after all Masses. This event will give
you an opportunity to join one of our ministries or committees. We always
welcome new volunteers.
KNIGHTS
OF COLUMBUS HALOWEEN PARTY FOR FAMILIES – Saturday October 29, following 5pm
Mass. More information will be available in the bulletin as we approach the

ANNUAL
RESETTLEMENT BAZAAR – Saturday November 12, 9am – 3pm. While funds from the
pasta dinner and harvest bazaar go directly to our parish, monies raised at the
resettlement bazaar go directly to the Resettlement Committee in order that
they continue the tradition of welcoming refugee families to Mississauga. This
is extremely important work, especially given the times in which we live.
