Working wonders in our livelihoods…
TODAY IS SHARELIFE SUNDAY. “ShareLife supports a
large family of Catholic agencies that truly do feed, clothe
and shelter people, care for the sick and frail, and befriend
the isolated and lonely. Reflecting Catholic charity, they
protect the vulnerable, guide and counsel the troubled,
visit people in prison and give a voice to the voiceless.
Regardless of their religious beliefs or personal
background, ShareLife agencies meet people where they
are, treating them with the dignity and respect we all
deserve.”
—Thomas Cardinal Collins, Archbishop of Toronto
Also, there is a meeting with the candidates and their
sponsors on Saturday, May 17th at 10:30 a.m. in
the church.
Please give generously. Thanks to your generosity, so far
we’ve collected $13,426! It is our hope and prayer that
our parish will reach this year’s goal of $43,000.

Oggi abbiamo la seconda colletta devoluta a Sharelife.
“ShareLife sostiene una grande famiglia delle agenzie
cattoliche che allinea ed alimenta e mette a riparo i
bisognosi, protegge gli ammalati, i senza tetto e le
persone sole. La carità cattolica si riflette nel
proteggere i più vulnerabili, guidandoli, visitandoli in
prigione e dando loro una voce, senza guardare la
loro credenza religiosa o esperienza personale, le
agenzie di ShareLife vengono a contatto con la gente
qualunque, curandole con la dignità ed il rispetto che
ognuno di loro merita.
- Thomas Collins cardinale, arcivescovo di Toronto
