Announcements need to be in before Tuesday at noon.
From the Pastor’s Desk My dear brothers and sisters,
Last weekend (June 17/18) was very special
and important in the history of our parish.
We had the Pastoral visit from our Auxiliary
Bishop, Most Reverend Joseph Dabrowksi,
during which he conferred the Sacrament of
Confirmation to some young people and
administered First Communion to the
children of our parish. All the functions were
very beautiful and devout. I would like to
thank all who helped to make this weekend a
wonderful and grace filled one—
the sacristans, choir, decorators, altar servers,
ushers, Knights of Columbus members, the
Deacons and others. A special thank you to
all teachers and volunteers who prepared the
candidates very well for Confirmation and
First Communion. God bless you! Fr. Francis
ADORATION OF THE BLESSED SACRAMENT Friday afternoons from 1-3pm. Everyone is welcome to come spend
an hour or even a few moments with our Lord.

NOSTALGIA-ST. PHILIP & HOLY ROSARY CENTENNIAL-1987
For our Centennial Project in 1987, we constructed the ramp. While
reviewing the file recently in order to carry out some remedial work by
the building committee, the following interesting items were noted:
1) The two day celebration included the blessing of the ramp, Mass
celebrated by Bishop Sherlock, St. Philip's 25 voice choir, parade and
dance at Victoria Hall,
2) Fathers Les Horwath and Rick Dales were involved during 1987
3) The cost was $24,000 and no government funding was available.
Donors incl. Canadian Slovak League & Dr. Martin Stapleton in Florida.
4) There were 22 committee members who met monthly for 1 year
5) The architect was William Andrews and the contractor was Camille
Vandenberghe Concrete
6) The dedication by Bishop John Sherlock was on Sun., June 7, 1987
7) The original dedication of St. Philip's Church was by Bishop John
Walsh, the second bishop of the diocese of London on June 5, 1887. The
Advertiser Topic in its June 1887 edition reported: "Bishop Walsh
addressed the multitude for fully 1 hour and it was listened to with
marked attention throughout and rather than mutilate it, we will give it
verbatim in our next issue".
8) Included in the file was a list of 104 parishioners and their annual
assessment ranging from $2.00 to $20.00 per year during Father Philip
Gnam's tenure, (1886-1910) -Norm Sutherland (Past Chair)

From the Desk of Deacon Rudy
To the people of St. Philip's and Holy Rosary
parishes. I have left for New York City on Monday
June 19 for an extended holiday. I will be away for
about 2 months. I am driving Fr. Martin Nyland
there so he can receive treatment and a cure for his
Lyme disease. I will be looking after him and his
needs during his treatment there.
Regrets, I will not be available to perform my
diaconal duties within the parish during this time.
It is very important to me to help a friend in need.
I ask for your prayers that Fr. Nyland will regain his
health and I ask for your prayers for our safe
journey. My Blessings to you all,
Deacon Rudy Terpstra
