A Thank You & Farewell to

Mary Murphy! Mary Murphy has been part of the St. Joseph’s

Parish community for the past 18 years and a

dedicated member of our Parish staff, working in the pastoral field

and more recently as Manager of the St. Joe’s Supper Table. Over

almost two decades, Mary has seen our community evolve, and she

has been an important part of that growth. Her commitment to

reaching out to those on the margins of our society, an integral part

of our Parish mission, has defined her work at St. Joseph’s, and we

are grateful for her vision and leadership.

Mary is relocating to Edmonton and will take on an exciting new

job. To thank Mary for her work at St. Joseph’s and to wish her the

best, we are organizing a farewell pot-luck on Thursday, Nov. 9,

2017 at 7 pm in the Parish Hall. All parishioners, volunteers, Parish

staff, guests of the Supper Table and clients of the Women’s Centre

are welcome.

Please confirm your attendance and contribute to the pot-luck either

at the Welcome Desk or by contacting Sharon (segravelle@bell.net)

or Diane (taylortd@bell.net). Extra hands for set-up and clean-up

are also appreciated.

We look forward to honouring Mary and her dedication to our Par-

ish.

Messages & Photos for Mary There will be cards available at the Welcome Desk

over the next two weekends on which you can express

your best wishes to Mary. These cards will be placed in

a photo album along with photos of Mary and St. Joes parishioners.

If you have photos of Mary that you’d like to be included in the

photo album, please bring them to church either this this weekend or

the next and leave them at the Welcome Desk. Please identify who is

shown in the photo and an estimated date.

Furthermore, if you would like a photo taken of you and/or your

family to accompany your best wishes, Terry Byrne will be around

the Welcome Desk this weekend to take these photos.

Development & Peace's Partner Shares in Nobel Peace Prize—This year's Nobel Peace Prize has

been awarded to the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons for its work on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons at

the United Nations. Development & Peace’s partner, PAX, tries to prevent and end armed violence and build peace. The "We Are

All Citizens" project in Iraq and Syria works to ease religious tensions and build awareness about discrimination and violations

against minority groups. Hundreds of young community leaders have been trained. The Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear

weapons was adopted by 122 countries at the United

Nations. Approximately 53 countries have signed but

Canada has not participated in the negotiation nor

signed the treaty. PAX studies the relationship be-

tween nuclear arms producers, and financial institu-

tions and pension plans which provide operating capi-

tal and also the countries who manufacture the com-

ponents for the nuclear weapons industry. Canada is

involved. Development & Peace congratulates the

international partner PAX for their peace building

effort. Info: devp.org

Good News!—Office Manager Brandon

Rushton has been named the Interim Manager

of the Supper Table. He will officially assume

the position as of Monday, Nov. 13 and man-

age the Supper Table until at least the new

year. He will still be performing a few of his

operational duties, but I am confident we will

not miss a beat.

Brandon has a great relationship with our

guests and volunteers and will be bringing his

many gifts to the ministry of the Supper Ta-

ble. Brandon can be reached at brushton@

st-josephs.ca.

Guest Perspective—This past week, one of or

guests commented “I was really nervous to

come here and even a little scared, but I am so

glad I did.” Just recently that person started to

bring a friend and help spread out message.

It’s becoming more and more apparent that

people come as much for company as they do

for the meal we serve.
