Hike for Hospice The “Hike for Hospice” this spring in Hanover is Sunday, April 28th at the P.& H. Centre. (This is one week earlier than usual and at a different location.) Plans are progressing nicely for the ‘new build’ for our Saugeen Hospice at the edge of Walkerton. Several in our congregation are participating in the hike and have pledge sheets for you to offer your support after Masses this weekend. Donations of $20. or more will receive a tax receipt. See more information in the Narthex, or pick up a pledge sheet and join the hike!
To all married couples Our parish is continuing with our Two As One meetings for married couples, the second and fourth Thursdays of each month after Mass. Couples yet to join us are welcome as well. Come and share faith and fellowship as a couple. Be supported in your vocation, and support other married couples. We look forward to seeing you at our next small group meeting which will be on Thursday, April 11th!
Change for Charity Jar: On the 2nd Sunday of each month the C.W.L. put out the Change for Charity jar, we collect your change to donate to Saugeen Hospice. The Grey Bruce Hospice in Owen Sound offers loving and compassionate end of life care to those in need. Your spare change can help to build a satellite location in Walkerton. Please empty your pockets into the jar next weekend and let’s get it built!
CWL News: C.W.L. meeting Monday 8 April at 1 pm Please come out for a time of fellowship and we will decide on our nominations for the new executive at the Diocesan level.

Quote to Ponder: It’s memories, not money, that make you rich!
“Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; a man’s life does not consists in the abundance of his possessions.” - Luke 12:15This Sunday’s Gospel John : 20: 19 – 31 Discussion Questions:
- What is the closest that you have come to going through what Thomas did (not believing then having been convinced otherwise)?
- When you have had struggles / doubts in your faith, what has helped you?
- If you could ask Jesus, one hard question what would it be?
