Sacrament of Reconciliation:
We will have the common celebration of the
Sacrament of Reconciliation in preparation for
Christmas on December 11, Wednesday at 3:30 pm
for the Catechism children and Youth Group and at
7:00 pm for the rest of the Parish.
Our Youth Group has organized their annual “Adopt a
Family” again. They would like your help getting a Christmas
hamper and presents together for two families. At the main church
entrance is a small tree that is packed with paper ornaments in
different colors. If you can help out, please take one or as many as
you’d like and leave the item that you are donating at the main
entrance by December 10th
A big Thank You from the Youth Group for your generosity!
On Christmas eve, Monday
December 24 we will start Mass at 7pm with our Christmas Pageant.
All children, ages 3 and up, are welcome to join! On Sunday,
December 22, right after Mass, we are having our sign-up and
rehearsal. If you are interested in signing up your child(ren), please
make sure that they will be at this rehearsal on the 22nd – no
practicing after catechism as in previous years. For questions and
sign-up, please contact Suzanne Koopman at 780-674-5306.
We have a Nativity float and caroling during the
Santa Claus Parade on December 6th. Please join us, have fun and
mingle with people. All those who wish to help out, please contact

Parishioners’ help needed: Fellowship Coffee (Saturday)
and Continental Breakfast (Sunday) usually held on the third
weekend of each month. This very popular event is truly
enjoyed by our parish. If you wish to volunteer to organize
goodies and coffee, please call or email the office the dates
you are available. We really appreciate it!
We are starting the Pocket Prayers project this month. The youth
will gather items urgently needed by the Mustard Seed in Edmonton.
All these items will be put in backpacks and added to that will be a
prayer, handwritten by the youth. Items needed are: toiletries – small
and regular sized items for men and women; underwear for men and
women (new); gently used winter jackets; winter shoes and boots;
gently used men’s sweaters; socks (new); backpacks. We will make
our delivery to the Mustard Seed on November 9, when the youth is
going out there to cook and serve a meal for the homeless.
If you’d like to help our youth and the Mustard Seed, you can bring
your donation to the church- please leave it behind the bulletin board
by the overflow entrance.
All items have to be either new or, if used, clean and in good
condition. For details call Ellen Mourits 780 674 0152
