On April 27th we will be receiving 2 certificates from Climate Justice Niagara, (the Diocesan group which promotes the care for the beautiful world we have been gifted by God), for our Community Garden and Pollinator Garden. Please join us as we celebrate this important work our parish has been doing.

We will have a new date soon.

On Sunday April 27th at 4:00 pm Grace Lombarczki will be confirmed at Christ Church Cathedral. All are welcome.

Pwrdf-Alongside Hope Lenten Lunches

Thank you to everyone who provided soup, chili, and buns for the lunches. A special thanks to those that ran the lunches, set up and cleaned up. I extend my heartfelt gratitude for you jumping in last minute to take care of things for me. Finally, thank you to those that had the opportunity to enjoy the delicious offerings, and donate toward this worthy cause. We raised $1,539.35 for PWRDF (now known as Alongside Hope!) Our next lunch will be September, benefitting the Indigenous programs.
Again, thank you to everyone!

Birchway Niagara is in need of some support for some families coming into the shelter.

We are in need of baby sleepers, clothing, pjs and warm coats for ages 0-3 months and 3-6 months for girls as well as boys 0-12 months. We have quite a few pregnant clients and newborns coming into the shelter and we’re just trying to spread the word that we need clothing for them. (These sizes only please.)

We are also in need of new Baby crib sheets and new baby towels. These items must be new due to health and safety requirements.

Drop offs to the shelter can be arranged by contacting Teagan directly via email teaganf@birchway.ca, or can be dropped off at church and will be delivered to Birchway.

Please see Birchway’s website at: https://birchway.ca/
Thank you for any support you can provide.

Thank you to Ray and Adam for our new step leading out to the garden and John for the beautiful artwork.

We’d all like to thank Kelly for her HARD work in finishing off the church banners recently. They are simply adorable, and make the church look so beautiful for the Lenten season! Thanks so much Kelly!
