Join Us September 30th for Reconciliation Through Art

For the past two years you have heard a lot about the Indigenous Reconciliation Fund. Through your generosity our parishes have raised close to a million dollars for the Fund. To date 11 projects have received grants from the Indigenous Reconciliation Fund. The newest grant recipient is the Métis Artist Collective who is hosting Reconciliation Through Art on September 30th at the Mississippi Valley Textile Museum (3 Rosamond Street East.) The day, which runs from 10 am to 8 pm, will feature art, storytelling and performances from local and Indigenous artists. The artists will be selling their art, explaining and demonstrating their craft, and telling the stories behind their pieces. There will also be workshops, presentations, and storytelling throughout the day. We invite you to make the drive over to Almonte both to support these artists as well as see how your financial contributions do indeed make a difference. To get all the details about what promises to be a wonderful event including your free tickets go to reconciliationthroughart.ca

CWL Celebration

This year, our parish Catholic Women's League will be celebrating a very special milestone, our 35th anniversary since it was re-instated by Vi Dobson 35 years ago.

We are planning a celebration on SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, in our parish hall, beginning at 12 noon and concluding with our 5pm Mass for the intentions of our CWL council.

During the afternoon, we will enjoy a delicious lunch, guest speakers, some testimonials from our members and plenty of time to socialize, get re-acquainted and visit the past, through a slide presentation and our many photos and scrap books which will be displayed.

This event is open to everyone, ladies and gentlemen, who would like to celebrate with us. Everyone is welcome.

The cost for the lunch is $10.00. Tickets are available at the entrance of our church after all Masses from our CWL members, from the office or from, our president,  Rosanne Nadon, whose phone number is in our bulletin.

We hope you will be able to join us, meet our members and celebrate this special occasion with us.

Thank you, and we look forward to welcoming you on September 28.
