The ACW ladies of St. James Church in Port aux Basques held a wake-a-thon on April 9th at the Memorial Centre. There were 18 ladies in attendance, and a safe and fun night was experienced by all. The total collected by all who had taken pledge sheets far exceeded our expectations: a total of $5008.00 was collected. A very big thank you to all who took part and to all who donated. I am really impressed with how all members of our congregation came together and helped make the building up of God’s Kingdom at St. James’ a very enjoyable experience for me as priest-in-charge. You all are very eager to help out when asked. May God bless you all today and always. Again, thank you for all your prayers and help.
