Canadian Martyrs Catholic Church – Church Bulletin
18th Sunday in Ordinary Time – August 4, 2013
A Word from Sr. Beatrice
“With a grateful heart I would like to thank Fr. Paul, Fr. Francis, Fr. Peter, Sr. Cecilia and all the parishioners. I want to give special thanks to Fr. Paul who invited me to work with different groups in 2007 after I retired from Mt. St. Joseph Hospital.
I applied for retirement because my eyes need some rest. I had lost 75% of my visual nerves. Thanks be to God for I look normal and can see things in my daily life. I’ll be back after I finish my Sabbatical Program in my Provincial House. See you in Nov 2013. Thanks again.”
Happy Retirement, Sr. Mak!
Welcome Please extend our warm welcome to Sr. Herminia Cosico, Fdcc to our parish.
