1ST SUNDAY OF LENT YEAR “B” FEBRUARY 18TH 2018
Coins For Life 2018: February 18th to April 1st
Would you, your family and friends put aside your toon-ies, loonies, quarters, nickels, dimes during the next 6 weeks, and contribute these savings to help in the struggle to end abortion and to create a Culture of Life in Canada?
If so, coins for life boxes will be handed out at the back of the church on the weekend of Easter Sunday. This project helps us to continue to run the National March for Life in Ottawa on May 10, 2018.
Be sure that your small change can lead to a BIG change in our land and does help to save countless innocent lives now and in the future. God’s preborn children in the womb have no voice but ours.
You may even wish to make this a family, school, office project? Spread the good news of the sanctity of every life from conception to natural death which God created as no one has the right to destroy that life. In our present-day culture of death society we all have a role to play to reverse the tide even with this ‘little project’ for life. The Parish will post the date to return the boxes and if you wish, leave your name/address/email/cell so CLC can thank you personally for your kindness. For more information call Jenny or Jeff at CLC, 416 204 9749.
Volunteers are always needed!

Living the Gospel by supporting ShareLife agencies “As we begin our ShareLife campaign, we are encouraged to “Live the Gospel” in all that we do. How do we demonstrate that in our community? Living the Gospel may mean helping single mothers to care for
their newborn children, or being available to families facing difficulties, or welcoming refugee families to our community. For more than 41 years, countless individuals have experienced this compassionate
care offered by our agencies. Please support our annual archdiocesan appeal during this Lenten season!” —Thomas Cardinal Collins, Archbishop of Toronto.
March 18 is ShareLife Sunday. Please give generously.
Sign-Up Sundays! February 24/25 & March 3/4. We Need Your Help!
Cardinal Collins and bishops across Ontario are asking for an email address from every Catholic family in
their community, with a goal of 100,000 email addresses collected by the end of February 2018. This infor-
mation will be used locally by Cardinal Collins and trusted faith partners to communicate periodically
(approximately 6-8 times each year) on issues of particular importance for the Catholic community.
The first campaign of 2018 is the Call for Conscience, inviting our elected Members of Provincial Parliament
(MPPs) and those seeking office this June to increase funding/access to palliative care, to protect health care
workers wishing to abstain from any involvement in euthanasia/assisted suicide and to protect faith-based
facilities from participation in euthanasia/assisted suicide. The work builds on a similar campaign in 2017.
Please visit http://bit.ly/SignUpSundayRegistration to register yourself for this initiative.
Thank you for living a faith that acts!
