As
you will know by now, my surgery was very successful. My surgeon, Dr. Duncan
Rosario at Oakville-Trafalgar, did an amazing job with laparoscopic surgery and
I am very grateful for his expertise. I know I was not an easy case due to
prior infections and complications with my liver and kidneys. However, he
performed the surgery beautifully and removed the drainage tube and 3 stones at
the same time. I suppose that I did not
know how long it would take to be pain free after the surgery. As of today,
there is a little pain but most of it has subsided now. My follow-up
appointment is October 1st. I continue to recover and my primary focus is on
getting my strength back to the point of returning to work as soon as possible.
Please continue your prayers.

Athaide:

St
Dominic Catholic School is celebrating 60 years of excellence in Catholic

I
hope you will take part in this wonderful event on October 7th.
PARISH
CAPITAL CAMPAIGN- Many thanks to all the
Capital Campaign workers and donors. I believe we are at 60% of our parish
goal, an amazing job well done. Perhaps we will come very close to our parish
target after this weekend, Commitment Sunday. Even if you can give a small
amount, it all adds up in the end!
HARVEST
BAZAAR – Please note that our Harvest Bazaar has been CANCELLED for this year.
I am convinced that my absence has led to this since there are very few names
on our helpers and bakers lists and the interest is just not there this year.
We will, however, have a big Christmas bake sale downstairs closer to
Christmas. We are planning cookies, cakes, pies and assorted home-made goodies
for the Christmas Season.
RESETTLEMENT BAZAAR- This bazaar is November 7th and is the 35th
anniversary of this event. I will be selling ‘Fr. Phil’s dinners to go’ at this
event and so I hope you will support us there. All money from my table will go
to St. Dominic parish.
Fr. Phil
