MEETING NOVEMBER
17 AT 8:00 PM IN THE CHURCH HALL
Dear Parishioners
Your Parish Finance Council has had consultations with
the Archdiocese and has reviewed past and present demographics
for Richmond Hill. The architect produced a draft report
to the Finance Council and a final report dated August,
2008 which was received by the Finance Council at their
meeting of September 17, 2008. At this meeting Fr. Michel,
with the support of Finance Council, proposed a ‘town
hall’ style meeting to inform the parishioners of
the details of this report and to receive input from the
parishioners on NOVEMBER 17 AT 8:00PM.
Everyone is welcome to attend.

PARISH SOCIAL
MINISTRY FOOD DRIVE
While we gather around the table of the Lord and
share at the Eucharist, other members of our community
struggle to put food on their table. As members
of the Body of Christ, we can reach out and help
our brothers and sisters who might go hungry today.
We are organizing a year round food drive in support
of St. Vincent de Paul and Richmond Hill Community
Food Bank, our local food bank. Please bring in
non-perishable food and toiletries and put them
in the food drive bin that can be found at the back
of the church. Your generosity is greatly appreciated.
NO CLOTHES PLEASE |
