“To have Christian hope means to know about evil and yet to go to meet the future with confidence. The core of faith rests upon accepting being loved by God, and therefore to believe is to say Yes, not only to him, but to creation, to creatures, above all, to men, to try to see the image of God in each person and thereby to become a lover. That's not easy, but the basic Yes, the conviction that God has created men that he stands behind them, that they aren't simply negative, gives love a reference point that enables it to ground hope on the basis of faith.” Pope Benedict XVI

family from Eritrea, Africa. Single mother with two young

children. They came to us last October. They are doing fine.

They adjusted quite well in Canadian realities. Children are

busy at school and after curriculum activities. Mother is tak-

ing care of them, learning English, with the help of our won-

derful volunteers, and going to school as well. She is also

learning about a lot of small and bigger tasks which we all

do not even need to do. They are our realities. We can all

imagine starting a new life in a new country. How it can be

quite difficult and complex. Our parish is obligated to help

them to the end of October. Thanks to many people of good

will we will be able to do it. We need financial help for this

cause. If you are able to contribute we will greatly appreciate

it. You can use the envelopes at the back of the church
