NOTICE FROM CENTRE ADMINISTRATOR:  If your group requires a room for a meeting, please let the office know the date and time.   A while ago there was a group booked to meet in the Ted Wakeman Room.   The caretaker had set the room up for that particular group, but another group arrived earlier and completely took the room over.   This practice is not acceptable.  It is imperative that you let the office know if you intend to have a meeting or function.   Please do not take it for granted that you may arrive any time and find a caretaker and space available. Thank you.   (A.C.C. Administration)

Sanctuary Flags :  At a Remembrance Day Service on November 11th, Monsignor Chartrand and Father Shields blessed the new flags in our Sanctuary:
the PAPAL FLAG (Gold & White) which features the Coat-of-Arms of Vatican City (the Papal Tiara [crown] and the Keys of the Kingdom [Matthew, XVI, 19] and
the ANGLICAN CHURCH OF CANADA FLAG -  the red cross represents the Cross of St. George, indicating the origin of the church in the Church of England; the four green maple leafs represent the four ecclesiastical provinces in the church: Canada,  Ontario,  Rupert's Land,  B.C. & Yukon.
the CANADIAN FLAG and the FLAG OF THE PROVINCE OF MANITOBA .
All of these flags will remind us of our faith heritage and our earthly citizenship.
