Theme: Our Journey to Healing and Reconciliation (Indigenous Month)
June has arrived and is dedicated to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus. It is also Indigenous Month as National Indigenous Peoples Day is on June 21st. The Toronto Diocesan Council will be presenting a virtual event this year to celebrate Indigenous Month.
The Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops (CCCB) confirmed that Pope Francis will be visiting Canada July 24-29. For more information on this exciting visit, review the brochure available on the papalvisit.ca website.
Our Guest Speaker this month is Ciscily Winkler who will be talking to us about the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada - Calls to Action, which addresses the legacy of Canada's residential schools’ system, and the process to reconciliation.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who helped with the Mother’s Day celebrations. Angelica Lopez, one of our young adults sang two beautiful songs as a special dedication to Mothers. The members were able to enjoy activities like Bingo, Flower project, as well as a tribute paid to our deceased mother figures.
A special thank you to Marlene Mogado who has worked hard to update our parish CWL Policy & Procedure manual. Please take a moment to review these updates as they are relevant to who we are in the CWL and what we do.
We will be organizing a summer BBQ on Saturday June 25th from 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. We look forward to meeting members for some good food and entertainment. Please look for an email that will be sent out with more details about the event.
I am very thankful to our members and the executive team for your support, cooperation, and help with CWL events, activities, and meetings. Together we can make a difference.
Details of the topics/events mentioned in my update are on the CWL website (www.stpatrickscwl.ca) I would encourage you to visit our website to review updates and available information.
As there will be no meetings this July and August, I want to wish you all a restful and blessed summer!
