Faith in Action
We have lots going on at Faith besides our regular Sunday worship services. Here are a few highlights of some of our additional activities for feeding our bodies, and nourishing our souls.
Blessing of the Animals
St. Francis of Assisi, who died on October 3, 1226, was well-known for his love for all creatures, and the world they live in.
Faith celebrated the feast day of Saint Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals and the environment, with a Blessing of the Animals during the Sunday service on October 6.
Pastor Martin blessed six dogs and two bunnies, along with their caregivers.
Giving Garden
Our congregation collaborates with the Caldwell Family Centre to grow and supply fresh vegetables to the Caldwell Food Bank to feed those in need. They provide between 350 and 500 healthy breakfasts and lunches each weekday at the Drop-in Centre and 135 to 150 boxes of healthy food, baby supplies, and personal care items through the food bank to support 1,800 adults and 1,000 children each month.
We also support Carlington Community Connection to provide nutritious food, offer participant-driven hospitality and arts-based programs for residents in Carlington neighborhood, including a daily drop-in centre.
