CHRISTMAS ADOPTED FAMILIES This Christmas season we have adopted 3 families with a total of 7
children. As in previous years we have very successfully helped needy
families in our area enjoy a Christmas they could not provide for
themselves by not only providing them with a gift, but also attempting to
give them groceries for not just Christmas Day, but hopefully for many
days in Christmas week. As in the past our gift tags with green yarn are grocery
gifts, and the gift tags with red yarn are personal gifts. All personal gifts must be
wrapped with the tag you have chosen attached to them. Grocery items do not
need to be wrapped but please attach the grocery gift tag to them. By attaching
the chosen gift tags to the gifts makes it much easier for us to see that the family
they were chosen for receives your gift. And when you return your gifts please
place them under our little tree and place a red bow on our tree. Thank you for
helping one of our local families have a little brighter Christmas. All gifts need to
be under the tree by Sunday, December 10th
.
Mini-Advent Retreat Saturday, December 9 Beginning with the Sacrament of Reconciliation at 8:30 am followed by Mass and
the Rosary. From 10:00 am to 12:00 noon our Guest Speaker, Father Bob Reddy
will be reflecting on the infancy narratives. We encourage you to read Luke’s
Gospel, chapter 1 and 2 in preparation for this retreat. Refreshments will be
served. Please call Norma Smith at 705-327-7248 or Anne Waggoner at 705-238-
2663 to register. All are welcome!
Socks For the Homeless
CSJ. Associastes, Lalemant Group We are again collecting socks for the
homeless. Your contributions have helped the
Foot Clinic run by the Sisters of St. Joseph in
Toronto, the Lighthouse in Orillia, and the
Busby Centre in Barrie in the past. Please help
us again. Boxes are at the entrances of St. Columbkille Church and Guardian
Angels Church, or contact Mary Duffy.
Christmas Flowers-St. Columbkille & St.
Francis of Assisi
Would you like to sponsor Poinsettias for the
Christmas decorations this year. Parishioners
may pick up envelopes marked “Christmas
Flowers” at the entrances of the Church.
Blue Christmas Mass Certainly, the Christmas season is a time of great
joy with the anticipation of Christ’s birth.
Nonetheless, it is also a time of great sorrow for
those of us who remember the people who are no
longer with us-children, spouses, parents, grandparents and friends who have
died. With any holiday or anniversary, memories flood our minds and hearts, and
the absence can become overwhelmingly painful and the days leading up to
Christmas very lonely indeed. We would like to celebrate a Blue Christmas Mass in
remembrance of the people we love so very much, and miss so very much, to
acknowledge that this joyous season also brings with it a need to be aware and
sensitive to the pain and loneliness of so many of us in this parish. The Blue
Christmas Mass will be held Friday, December 15, 2017 at 7:00 pm at St.
Columbkille Church. Please join us at this Mass, and spend time with others who
have lost their loved ones. There will be a social in the parish hall following Mass.
St. Francis of Assisi
On Saturday, 18 November we had A Roast Beef
Dinner…we would like to thank the people who set-
up, those who did the prep work in the morning and
the Ladies of St. Francis of Assisi, the parishioners
who made all the pies.
We raised $1, 963.20 for the Building Fund!
Thank you to everyone for your support, the Dinner was a huge success.
Ladies Christmas Party St. Francis of Assisi Ladies Christmas Social will be held
Monday, December 4. Mass will be celebrated at
11:30 am at St. Francis of Assisi Parish followed by a
Pot Luck Luncheon in the Parish Hall. Open to all

wrapped gift-cookies, candy, chocolate ($5.00 limit) for
game prizes. Please donate a non-perishable item for St. Vincent de Paul. Please
