Please Bring Us Your Large Milk Bags ~ There will be a box at the back of the
church to collect large milk bags in. Our CWL ladies as well as some school
children are planning to start in the fall to weave these into sleeping mats to be sent
to poor countries. It takes 400 bags to make one mat, so we really need your help
to provide the materials!
A sample of the mats will be on display after Mass this weekend at the back of
the church. Please take a minute to have a look! These mats provide a dry and
bug free place for these families to sleep.

March for
Life
~~~~~~~~
A dying woman was getting her affairs in order. She prepared her will and made her
final arrangements. As part of this process, she met with her Parish Priest. She told
him she had only two requests. One, to be cremated, and two, that her ashes be
scattered over the local shopping mall. ‘The mall?” the Priest asked? Why the mall?”
“Well, that way I know my daughters will visit at least twice a week!”
Join with thousands of fellow pro-lifers at the MARCH FOR LIFE in Ottawa on
th
Thursday, May 14 . See the poster at the back of the church for more details of the
event.
