Sunday School supplies to remote, isolated

 

"This is a challenge sent to you from a little and tiny, but mighty parish way over across the river and an hour's drive from "civilization" in Shawville, Quebec.

COUNCIL OF NORTH PARISHES REQUESTING PARTNERSHIP SUPPORT




CONNECTIONS WITHIN CONNECTIONS:
A STORY OF PARTNERSHIP AND FRIENDSHIP

From April 2010 Crosstalk

By Fiona Brownlee
Communications Officer
Council of the North

Fiona BrownleeAt the end of Oc t o b e r , 2009 I visited the Parish of Clarendon to celebrate the induction of my step-mother, the Rev. Mavis Brownlee, as the incumbent of this lovely, rural parish in Quebec. Part of that visit included doing a presentation on the Council of the North. Remarkably, this parish is where the Brownlee family is rooted. My father took me around to visit all the sites that are connected to our family. I was also introduced to a number of distant cousins. A couple of those cousins, Jennifer and Scott Judd, are heavily involved as part of the leadership of the Sunday School of St. Paul's, Shawville.

Recently, Jennifer approached me through Facebook and asked about putting together some boxes of Sunday School supplies for remote, isolated parishes. It had really touched her that many of these parishes could not afford to purchase craft supplies for their children. My part of this was to ask the Council of the North network for addresses of parishes that would appreciate such a gift. Imagine our surprise when over a dozen parishes responded with a yes!

This gift from the Parish of Clarendon is part of what ministry of the whole church by the whole church is about. This gift will help those parishes provide pastoral and sacramental ministry to the youngest members of their communities. Thank you to all who participate from the Council of the North and especially from the children.
