So many others helped too and they are appreciated as well. Special thanks to the senior choir for joining Sean’s choir for the day. Their music was fantastic and they should all be proud of what they did. The day was wonderful and I hope you all had a good time. Thanks to all our parishioners who gave me cards and gifts.

Sharelife Living the Gospel by caring for the elderly Ever since Erika had a stroke, her diminished mobility kept her from enjoying many activities. When LA Centre for Active Living planned a trip to the Garlic Festival, Erika worried her disabilities would get in the way. To Erika’s delight, the ShareLife-funded agency ensured the trip was fully accessible for her. Having the most fun she's had in years, she felt like her disabilities disappeared. Last year, ShareLife-supported agencies provided care to over 6,300 seniors. May 27 is the next ShareLife Sunday. Please give generously.

The greatest love story that ever happened: God’s continuing love for His people. All God asks is “Love one another as I have loved you”. The world really needs to see people who are trying to love others with all their hearts. Priests, religious and deacons can be excellent examples of this love. If you are willing to answer God’s call, call Fr. Chris Lemieux, Vocation Director, Archdiocese of Toronto at 416-968-0997.
