Great news for the Parish of St. Joseph on Allumettes Island, QC.



Here's a photo of the high altar that we've just purchased to be installed in St. Joseph's Parish on Allumettes Island. This project will restore the Church to the way it was initially built as this altar is a perfect duplicate of the one that was removed back in the 1960's. It was purchased at a cost of $15,000 from a Church that was being demolished and replaced in New Jersey, USA.

Thanks to the generous support of the parishioners, we have already raised most of the funds to cover it's purchase, shipping and installation costs. Any and all donations to help us reach our final goal would be greatly appreciated. Cheques can be made out to 'St. Joseph's Parish' and mailed to us at PO Box 40, Chapeau, Qc. J0X1M0. Tax receipts will be issued for all donations.

Thank you.

Fr. Tim

There are exceptions of course, but they tend to fall more into the category of being the 'exception that proves the rule' when compared to the hostility of many of today's atheist posters. Comment offered by the theists in the public square is often depicted as being 'malicious' or 'venomous' and intended to enslave the 'feeble minded and weak' by those who post. Nothing could be further from the truth. Venom is something that is oriented to death. Christians are oriented in a 180 degree different direction. We speak not to the culture of death  that grips our world but rather for the culture of life and light which ends with the gift of eternal life. For example, the Catholic Church in its hum...
