create blankets for the homeless and lap afghans for residents in seniors’
homes who have no family. Place the scraps or small balls of yarn in
one of the baskets on the bottom shelf of the Lending Library Bookshelf.
A CALL TO SERVE THE LORD QUIETLY?:
Maybe the Lord is nudging you to help him in a quiet
“behind the scenes” manner. We are looking for people who are willing
to be sacristans who set up the altar on Saturdays and Sundays. This
is a small time commitment to serve our Lord. Talk with Fr Dan or
Deacon Mathew to learn more.

woven into mattresses and shipped overseas to those in need. Over 700
mattresses were made in Ottawa area last year. We collect
clean folded milk bags, eyeglasses, pop tabs and used postage stamps and
place them in the boxes located in the church entrance hallway.

books! Come browse and take books home to read. Check out the
bookshelf inside the church. You may keep them, return them or pass
them on.
