Deacon Frank and Michelle are all smiles as they receive bags of coats from our "Cloaks for Christ Campaign" at the Catholic Action Centre in Thunder Bay. This week over 120 coats were delivered on behalf of our parishioners and friends to the Centre and will be shared with those who are most in need. What an amazing response! Thank you all!
