The partner parishes of St. Nicholas Anglican Church in Torbay and Holy Innocents’ Anglican Church in Paradise recently completed our annual Blessing Bags project. Thanks to the incredible generosity of local community groups, schools, town councils, and individuals, the initiative collected a substantial supply of toiletries and clothing. This year, all donations were dedicated to supporting the vital work of The Gathering Place.
The Gathering Place is a community health centre located next to the Basilica in St. John’s (Newfoundland), and it provides essential services including food, housing, and medical care to vulnerable people facing homelessness and other life challenges. For over 30 years, it has given dignity and independence by offering a caring space with a range of support programs for those in need. The Blesing Bags project was very happy to help them in this important work.
