It is estimated that over 9.5 million people are in need of aid. All the Catholic Dioceses of Canada have been asked to take up a special collection which, through the Canadian Catholic Organization for Development and Peace (D&P), would be used to aid the victims of this natural disaster. (The Government of Canada has pledged a matching contribution of all funds raised before December 10th by eligible charities, D&P being one of these eligible charities.) This special collection will be taken at all the Masses in the parishes of this diocese weekend, November 23rd and 24th. (Due to the seriousness of this emergency appeal, next week’s previously scheduled Shepherds’ Fund collection will be postponed until the weekend of December 7th - 8th.) Further information about this disaster and the emergency assistance being offered through D&P can be found at: devp.org(devp.org/donate/Philippines). Those wishing their donation to be included on their parish year end charitable donation receipt are asked to place the donation in an envelope on which they have written the words Aid to the Philippines as well as their name, address and/or parish envelope number. Please give as generously as you can. 4YOUTH: Today we celebrate the Feast of Christ the King. This feast is observed on the last Sunday of the liturgical year. This feast day was begun by Pope Pius XI in 1925 at a time when it seemed like respect for Christ and the Church was disappearing.This feast is meant to refocus faith and respect in the Kingship of Jesus and to remind us that Christ should be the King of our hearts and lives. There’s a really good video on YouTube, called The Solemnity of Christ the King,that explains this feast and has some pretty good music too! Why don’t you check it out? CHRISTMAS FLOWERS: Those wishing to make a donation for flowers for the altar at Christmas in memory of a loved one may do so by placing it in an envelope and dropping it in the Sunday collection or at the parish office. TOWARDS SAINTHOOD: On Thursday, October 31, Pope Francis authorized the Congregation for the Causes of Saints to promulgate several decrees.

As you know, Nano Nagle was the foundress of the Presentation Sisters, who have a long history of service in our province and in our diocese. We have placed an article of congratulations on the Diocesan web page, which is located at rechurch. The article contains links to the life story of Nano Nagle as well as to the cause for Sainthood.
