And for the YOUTH of our parish, this will be of interest to you.
"Generation", The National Anglican Youth website.
Toronto, April 23, 2006 -- Generation is a new kind of website, designed from the ground up for young Canadian Anglicans.
Look for blogs, coming events in all parts of the country, interactive features, polls, scripture reflections, creative expressions and more.
The site will include a number of blogs, or web logs, from young people from across Canada. It will also include a blog from the Primate with weekly entries, a first for the Anglican Communion.
This isn't a site full of content that adults think young people should read; this is a site full of content that young Anglicans will generate themselves. Any young person or any adult concerned with youth issues can register on the site and contribute to it. The content of the site is continually renewed, so there are always new things to read and comment on.
You are welcome to comment on someone else's blog, including the Primate's; you can add a thought in response to a Question of the Week or start a discussion forum, connect with other young people in all parts of the country, look for events or advertise events in your region. You can post resources or request ideas for something you need. There will be lots more to check out.
The site is intended for Anglican young people, age 14 and over and those who minister with them.
The site can be found at generation.anglican.ca
Questions on the site can be directed to Judy Steers, Coordinator - Youth Initiatives, at
jsteers@national.anglican.ca

PARISH EVENTS:
OTHER PARISH / DIOCESAN EVENTS:
NEWS ABOUT OUR FUTURE IN THE A.C.C. By a vote of 2/3 to 1/3 of the particpants at a special congregational meeting, it was decided that St. Chad's would leave the A.C.C. For a view of this decision by Blessed John XXIII, please read the following notice from their church bulletin of July 24, 2011.
Update from the Parish Advisory Council (PAC) on the future of ACC and Blessed John XXIII:
The leadership of St. Chad's Parish has informed our Parish Advisory Committee of their final decision to leave the ACC.
This was not the decision the majority of our parishioners had hoped for, but it is clear that further offers of assistance
from our Parish will be of no avail. While the partnershop will eventually dissolved, no decisions have yet been made
about timing or other legal or financial issues. The process is likely to take up to one year or more, and for the moment,
our Parish continues all its activities on the basis of "business as usual".
Meanwhile, your PAC is working proactively to investigate legal and financial avenues for dissolving the partnership, including ways
Blessed John XXIII could continue alone. As in the past, when the facts are known and options are developed, they will be
presented to parishioners for discussion. Once Blessed John XXIII collectively comes up with a plan, it will be subject
to approval by the Archdiocesan Finance Council, after which Archbishop Weisgerber has indicated he will approve it.
Please pray for the success of our Parish, and transmit any concerns or suggestions you may have for the PAC through Father Gerald,
Al McMurdie (Parish Finance Council) or Michael Rennie (Parish Pastoral Council).
Check the BULLETIN BOARDS for news of other events of interest - you'll find something you'd like to attend.
