There!  We've given you the briefest possible "headline"!  Gabi has written a book that you will deeply appreciate.  "At Your Side" is an exploration of the stories, experiences, and lessons shared (not always explicitly) by people toward the end of their lives.  In a conversation, Gabi described the book as being centred on the virtue of "humility." This is not a book review, simply an invitation to read, enjoy, laugh and sigh.   In this Easter season of hope and focus on the commandment to "love one another as I have loved you," we have an opportunity that is truly special.  

If you've not yet had the chance to visit with Gabi, reading her book -- or even reading about her book -- should propel you with great energy, joy and wonder.  

Our most recent newsletter provided a mistaken date for this event.  

Reverend Colleen will offer the prayers.  

It is to happen at the Royal Oak Burial Park, at 4673 Falaise Road  on
Thursday 16th April at 11am.  

Aileen was a member of our parish who died 20 November 2025. 

As Rev. Colleen is officiating at the interment service for Aileen McConnell on Thursday, there will be no Thursday Eucharist service this week.
