Radiant Joy and CCS Gala

The XLT on Friday night was terrific!  With hundreds of people from Bolton and across the GTA - including the youth from Nativity of our Lord Parish in Etobicoke, there was praise and worship, a talk by Joe Chernowski from the Lifeteen office in Atlanta, and Adoration.  An awesome night for our parish and for the youth of the Archdiocese.  
Today there is the Empower Plus ministry training conference for youth ministers and CORE team members from southern Ontario, as well as some people coming from the northern states - New York and Michigan.  

Each year Caledon Community Services has a Gala in support of the many services that are provided in the community that do not receive government funding:  Crisis care, poverty reduction, food support, counselling and the like.  This year's Gala is only 2 weeks away - November 17 and is held at Caledon Golf and Country Club - which is on the west side of Highway 10 - off of Old Base Line Road.  I support this fundraiser, not only because I am a member of the board, but also because as a parish we send people to CCS all the time in order to receive support. By working together with other community partners we can make a difference - and have a "Healthy, Engaged, Compassionate, Community for All!"
I hope you will support the GALA - more info is here.
Peace
