As previously announced, the
parish has two portable devices to help people hear the spoken word
more clearly during mass. These are available from the ushers before
mass on a ‘first come first serve basis’. Several people have found a
big difference when using them and expressed interest in purchasing
their own. If you are interested, the cost for the receiver &
headphones is $170.00 (tax included). Please contact the parish office
before December 7th if you want to purchase one of these units so
that we can have them delivered before Christmas.

1st Sunday of Advent
1er dimanche de l’Avent
November 29, 2015
Visitation Parish Mission
Dear friends, I can’t thank you enough for the all the good
wishes, prayers, cherry jam, quilt, and many, many cards, but
especially for your prayers. I am convinced the reason I am
with you this weekend, is because of the thousand of prayers
that have bombarded heaven for my healing. Let us continue
to pray in thanksgiving to our loving God.
Father Bob
Chers amis, je vous remercie pour toutes les bonnes volontés
et plusieurs cartes de souhaits, mais surtout pour vos prières.
Je suis convaincu que vos prières pour ma guérison sont la
raison pour laquelle je suis avec vous maintenant.
Père Bob
1st Sunday of Advent:
Our daily actions affect
the quality of life in this world and increase the Lord’s
harvest in the world to come. When we reach out in
kindness to our family, friends and foes, we express the
redemptive love of Jesus and experience, through the Holy
Spirit, an increase of the Lord’s love in our hearts. This
allows us to more fully understand his profound mercy.
1er dimanche de l’Avent:
Debout, relevez la
tête! Au cœur des tumultes de notre histoire, Dieu demeure
fidèle à sa promesse de bonheur. En Jésus son Fils, il fait
lever sa Bonne Nouvelle: déjà germent le droit et la justice!
Notre rédemption approche: relevons la tête et restons
éveillés dans une sainteté sans reproche.

Christmas blooms:
Would
you like to remember a deceased
loved one in a special way at
Christmas time?
We are trying
something new…we are offering you
the opportunity to make a donation in
memory of someone special by contributing to our Christmas
blooms fund. A list of names will be displayed and these
deceased will be remembered in the prayer intentions at
Christmas masses. We hope to collect enough funds to cover
the cost of flowers to decorate the church. Special green
envelopes are available at the office or on the welcome desk.
Noël en fleur:
Vous pouvez maintenant faire un don
en mémoire de quelqu’un spécial pour nous aider à défrayer
le coût des fleurs qui seront placé autour de l’autel à Noël.
Vous trouverez des enveloppes vertes sur la table d’accueil
dans l’entrée de l’église et au bureau. Les noms seront
affichés et nous prierons d’une façon spéciale pour ces
décédés dans nos intentions de Noël.
Join us for a Parish Mission with our dynamic speaker,

after speaker, spiritual director and confessor, and is a

Giving Tree
~
This year our parish is sponsoring 8
local families and 8 families from Children’s Aid. We are
once again appealing to the generosity of our parishioners for
your support in helping them to ensure that all children will
have gifts to open on Christmas morning. It is our hope that
each and every child and their parents can experience love
and joy in receiving a gift. We encourage everyone to
participate in any way possible. Please follow these easy
directions:
~ The list of items needed by each family has been divided
into individual gift ideas. Check the paper ornaments on the
‘giving tree’ in the narthex. On the ornament is the name of
an article or gift that is needed. Please choose from these, an
item that you could buy (new items only please.)
~ Take the ornament home with you so you can remember
what to buy and to make sure we have no duplicates.
~ After you have bought the article,
DO NOT WRAP THE GIFT but
please attach the paper ornament
securely to the gift and place it under
the giving tree by December 13th.
If you have any questions about the
Giving Tree please contact Marie
Levesque at 519-798-3168.

Parking lot etiquette: In an effort to promote a
safe parking lot environment, new lines have been painted to
indicate the crosswalk that leads to the main entrance of the
church. This is a friendly reminder to all drivers that you
should not stop or park your vehicle in the crosswalk to pick
up or drop someone off, this should be done at the curb side.
Pedestrians in the crosswalk have the right of way and
everyone should use the crosswalk when walking to avoid
accidents. Be careful out there!
Étiquette du terrain de stationnement:
Tous récemment, nous avons fait peinturer des lignes pour
indiquer le passage pour piétons qui se dirige vers l’entrée
principale de l’église. Un rappel à tous les chauffeurs
d’automobiles qu’il n’est pas permis d’arrêter ou de
stationner un auto dans le passage
pour piétons. Vous devez embarquer
ou débarquer vos passagers au bord
du trottoir seulement. N’oubliez pas
que les personnes qui traversent dans
le passage marqué pour les piétons ont
le droit de passer en sécurité. Il est
important que tout le monde fasse
attention pour prévenir un accident.
