“You can work WONDERS!”
Total todate: $17,206.43
“The services provided by ShareLife agencies are
critical to those who rely on them – they are lifesaving
and life-restoring. Families are working through crises
and are healing. Refugees and new Canadians are
guided toward a stable, productive livelihood in their
newfound home. Seniors are living independently, with
access to the care and services they need. People with
developmental challenges are supported as they
experience a sense of self-worth and fulfillment in their
daily activities. Sometimes the results are obvious and
sometimes they’re invisible but, always, they’re
tangible. “
- Most Rev. Thomas Collins, Archbishop of Toronto
2nd ShareLife collection – May 1, 2011

NATIONAL MARCH FOR LIFE
THURSDAY, MAY 12
On May 14, 1969 our government struck down the
existing abortion law. 41 years later Canada still
has no law restricting abortion. Every year
thousands of Canadians gather on Parliament Hill
for a peaceful rally to bring attention to the most
profound human right in our society today. Please
join us this year at the March for Life, with our
Bishops, to show our government that the unborn
child must be protected. Theme this year is
“Abortion Kills a Human Being”.
For more information about March for Life, call
Marilyn Brown 905-457-3786.
