Healing Mass: A healing Mass will be held in Holy Guardian Angels Parish on Monday, Feb 13th at 7:00 p.m.
While every Mass gives us an opportunity to heal, the purpose of the healing Mass is to give us an opportunity
to become more aware of our spiritual needs. Spiritual needs include the need for emotional strength and
healing; the need to know that we are loved and cherished by God; the need to courageously face a challenge or
obstacle in life, and the need to resolve conflicts. Healing involves breathing life and hope into a person's spirit,
and this has an impact on our physical well-being. The sacrament of reconciliation will be made available from
6:00 to 6:45 p.m.

cans of juice at the entrances to the church. Please take one, enjoy the beverage and return the container on the
weekend of February 25-26 filled with coins. Please write your name and envelope # on the bottle for
income tax receipt purposes. Also, we have placed a box at the main entrance of the Church for Canadian
Tire Money. We will be collecting this money until late spring, early summer. The money will be used to
purchase some of the prizes for our Merchandise Bingo (Details at a later date). Besides the fundraising
efforts, there is also an account set up at the East Coast Credit Union (L'Ardoise). Cash donations can be made
directly at the Credit Union and a receipt will be issued.
