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
TELEPALS: Can you telephone for St. Chad's? TelePals are needed. Call Joyce at 774-9173.
Do you have a special event coming up soon? Let TelePals call for you. Call Joyce at 774-9173.
If you have any comments to make,
feedback with other news, updates of your information for church records,
please give these to your Tele-Pal when she/he calls.
AS MEN OF OLD FOLLOWED THE STAR,
To all who care, draw near and teach to
Every home within our reach:
Love warms all hearts,
Even those grown cold.
Pals are the link,
And close the gaps
Left by loneliness and grief.
PARKING: On the west parking lot, there are TWO SPOTS marked for ORGANISTS ONLY.
Please do not park in these or the CLERGY spots.
SUNDAY PARKING AT D-JAY'S: The management of DJ's Restaurant have
kindly granted permission allowing our parishioners to park vehicles in their parking lot on
SUNDAYS ONLY. This, hopefully, will relieve some of the stress we experience when our own parking lot
is full; but also leaves space after our 11 a.m. service
for use by Blessed John XXIII parishioners for
their 1 p.m. Mass, when we have an event happening after our service.
Note again; this permission is granted only on Sundays during
our church functions.

parishioner a better chance to be part of this project.
