Holy Land Group is coming to our parish on the weekend of August 20/21. Saturday August 20, the display will take place in the basement and Sunday August 21 will be in the parish hall, before and after masses. Please have a look at the religious olive wood carvings displayed as you are leaving. These articles are hand crafted by the Christians of the Holy land who are seeking your support today to assist them in staying rooted in the land of Christ. 70 years ago, the Christian population was 20 % of the whole population, now they are only 1.0%. It is also a way of preserving a local cultural heritage which is in danger of being lost as a more Christians feel pressured to leave their homeland for economic and political reasons. These religious articles can be used as gifts for first communions, Christmas and other occasions. In addition, some of these articles can be used as a means of praying and providing comfort, strength, and even hope for people who are suffering. Please note that that only cash is accepted as pay-ment at this time. For more information, you may contact Farid Qumsieh at [email protected]; Ph: 1.604.854.5753
