St. Francis de Sales Parish
Our mission at St. Francis de Sales is to joyfully welcome you to our parish family of faith, trusting that: if you are seeking Christ,
you will find Him here. If grieving, you will receive comfort. If troubled in spirit, you will receive the blessing of peace without being judged. If discouraged, you will rejoice in hope. If alone,
you will find companionship and Christian love. May our parish be a sanctuary of peace for you as we journey
together to the Father’s house.

A Thanksgiving Table PrayerO Gracious God, we give you thanks for your overflowing
generosity to us. Thank you for the blessings of the food we eat and especially for this feast today. Thank you for our home and
family and friends, especially for the presence of those gathered here. Thank you for our health, our work and our play.
Please send help to those who are hungry, alone, sick and suffering war and violence. Open our hearts to your love.
We ask your blessing through Christ your Son. Amen.

SAINT VINCENT DE PAUL
CHRISTMAS OUTREACH
Due to the pandemic, there will be no angel tree in the
foyer this year, and there will be no gifts delivered to our
neighbours-in-need. However, families still need our
help and we are going to do our best to help make
Christmas special for them. We will be helping about 80
families.
This year we will only give gift cards and the families will
do their own shopping.
If you are able to help, please deposit your gift card in one
of the two St. Vincent de Paul poor boxes at the church
entrance. Any amount will be helpful and from any store
where you would shop for your own family. We will
make sure that every family has a card for groceries and
cards to purchase toys, clothes, and diapers for their
children. Please indicate the amount on the card if it is
not already indicated.
We ask that you donate your cards by the
deadline Sunday, November 15. This will give enable
us to sort things out and get the cards to the families by
the end of November so they can do their own shopping. Thank you for your ongoing support and generosity
throughout the year. God bless you and keep you safe.
