Archbishop Miller has approved a special collection in response to the wildfire disaster in Fort McMurray and surrounding region. The collection will be on the May 21/22 Victoria Day weekend and proceeds will go to the Diocese of St. Paul, Alberta. Bishop Paul Terrio has confirmed that half of contributions will go to assisting local Catholic parishes and parishioners, while the other half will be forwarded to the Fort McMurray Ministerial Association for ecumenical assistance to those who have lost homes and jobs.
No special envelopes will be provided for this collection. Please use plain, white envelopes and write your name, envelope number and the amount of your donation. Please make all cheques payable to the parish. Thank you for your generosity.
