SYMPATHY:
Sympathy is extended to the family and friends of Raymond Hynes, brother of Mary Companion who died this week. Let us remember him at prayer.
SISTER KAY REX, pbvm:
Many of you are well aware that, due to health issues, that Sr. Kay Rex, who has served Xavier House and the Cathedral parish for many years, has left Corner Brook, Wednesday, January 28th to take up residence at the Motherhouse in St. John’s on a permanent basis. This move, although sudden, involves many emotions, both on her part and ours, for she will be dearly missed, not only for her ministry among us, but for who she was to all of us. It sometimes doesn’t seem to be enough if all that you can say is “Thank You”. Please keep her in your prayers and in your correspondence.
WINNERS OF THE TICKET DRAW:
Congratulations to Priscilla Boutcher winning 1st prize of $10,000.00, Gerry McCarthy - $5,000.00, Hilary Spencer - $2500.00 and Yvette Coleman - $1000.00.
