I hope you all had a happy and restful
thanksgiving long weekend. Once again, many thanks to Grace Manicone for the
beautiful thanksgiving display in the sanctuary. Our thanksgiving dinner, in
conjunction with The Compass Food Bank, was very successful last Sunday. I
would like to thank all those who donated money, food and their time to make
that happen. It was very rewarding for all our volunteers and by all accounts,
our guests enjoyed a wonderful dinner too. We also had many children and young
people helping throughout the day and they all did a fantastic job, not only
serving and helping, but socializing with our guests and making them feel at
home. I was very impressed with our young people and their willingness to greet
and serve our guests. Perhaps this could be an annual event? I hope so.
On behalf of our St. Vincent de Paul
Society, I would like to thank St. Dominic Catholic Elementary School and St.
Paul Catholic Secondary School for their donations of food for distribution by
the St. Vincent de Paul Society in our parish. Our food storage room is full to
the brim! Thank-you!
