Marillac Place - Baby Bottle Campaign 2020

Your donation will bring BIG CHANGES to the lives of the women and children of Marillac Place.

Mother’s Day is just around the corner and St. Michael Parish is proud to participate in the Baby Bottle Campaign, in support of Marillac Place. Marillac Place relies heavily on the donations from our community to keep its doors open. Due to the current Covid-19 pandemic this year we are unable to deliver baby bottles. Please provide your ongoing support through our virtual campaign by donating on-line or sending a cheque directly to Marillac Place. You can make your donation in honour of someone special on Mother’s Day as there is an option to send an ecard when you donate on-line. www.marillacplace.ca/donate/

Thank you so much for your support. All proceeds from the campaign will go directly to the operations of Marillac Place and create an immediate impact on the residents.

When you donate online or by cheque,  please specify that you are a member of St. Michael Parish.  Marillac Place uses this information for tracking purposes.

For more information on Marillac Place please call (519) 571-0722 x 202, or visit www.marillacplace.ca

Thank you for your continued support!

Tuesday Mar 10 2020 - Speaker from Reception House followed by CWL meeting - 7:30pm

The CWL has invited Reception House to speak to members and parishioners at 7:30pm in the parish centre.  A brief CWL meeting for members will follow this presentation at 8:30.

Reception House - Hear about how our community welcomes refugees and how we can lend a hand.  Wars and persecution have driven more people from their homes now than at any time since World War II.  Reception House helps to shed light on their journey.  For 30+ years, Reception House has welcomed the most vulnerable group of newcomers, government-assisted refugees. In 2019, 90% of government-assisted refugees arrive in the Waterloo Region reporting having no family or friends. Everything Reception House does is focused on a warm welcome,  enabling these newcomers to settle, integrate and lead healthy and stable lives in their new community.   Join us to find out how we  can make newcomers feel more a part of the community.
