WORKING WONDERS FOR SINGLE & TEEN
PARENTS
When Janelle came to Rosalie Hall, a ShareLife agency, she
was a young, single mother suffering from a decade-old
abusive relationship. Emotionally unstable and with low
esteem, she was relying on Employment Insurance to live.
Rosalie Hall helped Janelle regain her strength and
independence. Today, hoping for a brighter future for her
and her child, she has left the abusive relationship she was in
and is studying to be a social worker. In 2009, ShareLife
agencies provided help to more than 11,000 young people –
offering counselling to 1,964 pregnant youth and young
mothers.
Next Sunday, May 1, 2011 is ShareLife Sunday.
Please give generously. You can work WONDERS!

LIGHTHOUSE CATHOLIC MEDIA CD’S
We often have very good intentions to deepen our

Confession, the Passion and Easter. CDs are $5 each or
5 for $20. There is also an excellent book from Matthew
Kelly, called Rediscovering Catholicism. It can make a
wonderful gift this Easter for both someone who has been
away from the Church and those who want to deepen their
faith. And the book only costs $5.
