I would like to thank the
co-ordinators of our Annual Christmas Bazaar, Ann Worobec and Maria Volpe. I
know that much work went on behind the scenes to make this event
successful. Many thanks to all those who
came on board to help in any way.
This past week I received a
letter from the Broken Wings Mission in Haiti which expressed gratitude for
your generosity and support while the dancers were in town. I second that
thank-you!
I am not sure where the time has
gone but next Sunday is the first week in the season of Advent and it will be
an extremely busy weekend for many reasons.
We will bless the Advent Wreath and light the first purple candle; all
the new prayers, music and liturgical changes must be in place and our children
preparing for Sacraments will receive their crosses which will set them apart
as special people in our community. We need to keep in our prayers as they
approach the Sacraments of Reconciliation and Holy Communion. I hope that you will enjoy the different
rites and rituals that begin with the beautiful season of Advent. Just to give you some advance notice, there
will be a Christmas Concert in the
church on December 17 at 7:30 performed by some music major students from York
University. Fr. Leo will be arriving on December
15th and will give a mission on December 19, 20 21. He will perform a Spanish Christmas carol in
the December 17th concert. Further information about our up-coming events will
be published in the bulletin. I hope you will enjoy the wonderful season of
Advent.
