Among the many benefits to be provided at ‘The Gathering Place’, are the following:
As a historically based site, ‘The Gathering Place’ will provide an educational experience with respect to the importance of Catholic history, development and location, from aboriginal times to the present, which may provide a catalyst for greater interest in Catholic history especially for our young people;
The Center of Social Justice and Good Works at ‘The Gathering Place’ will both teach our youth, as well as the rest of us, by example and programs for leadership to develop a greater understanding of self and empathy for others and prepare to take on leadership roles in the community;
One of the largest challenges that we have is to communicate the benefits of ‘The Gathering Place’ to all Catholics and other community members. Please assist in spreading the word especially in other Parishes. Our website www.preciousblodssm.com has up-to-date information that should be of interest to all. All Catholics are reminded that we can only move forward with active participation. The latest fundraiser is ‘the Journey’ Lottery drawing for total prizes of $49,000 - $1000 per week commencing January 25 (to assist in selling tickets – contact Bob Barbeau @ 705- 256-5454). Tickets can now be ordered online at www.preciousbloodssm.com.
