At its October 22 meeting, St. Peter's Parish Council decided to give 10% of the revenue from the October 17 Fall Fair to Hope Mission. The event was a blessing for our community and our parish, and we want to give thanks to God for his providence. As Pastor Derek Sheahan told us on September 20, Hope Mission is a Christian charity that cares for the homeless and the poor in Calgary by providing emergency shelter, food, youth programs, and addiction recovery services.

"Giving 10% of the Fall Fair revenue to Hope Mission is a step toward our parish following the tithing and stewardship principles God calls each of us to," says Ven. Bonnie. "This powerfully complements what we are encouraging parishioners to reflect on during our Plenty Good Room Stewardship Campaign, and I am very encouraged that members of our Parish Council uunanimously supported this decision. Well done, good and faithful servants!"
