CWL NEWS
POPE’S PASTORAL WORKS COLLECTION MAY 25
A disastrous flood or earthquake strikes a nation at the other
end of the world. Immediately many countries rush in food,
medicine, blankets, money, and trained people. Prominent
among such aid is the financial help offered by the Holy Father
to people in need. In the name of Catholics everywhere, he
displays Christ’s love and compassion for those who suffer.
Each year at this time, Canadian Catholics are asked to give
generously to this papal collection, which is passed on to the
Holy Father for his use.

CATHOLIC MENS GROUP
ACCOMMODATION NEEDED
Volunteers from Crossroads, a national collegiate pro-life or-
ganization that sponsors a pro-life walk across Canada each
summer, will be visiting the parish the weekend of May 31 &
June 1 and speaking briefly at the end of all the weekend
Masses.
Crossroads was started in 1995 in response to Pope St. John
Paul II’s words at World Youth Day in 1993 when he chal-
lenged the youth of the World to “be not afraid to take the gos-
pel of Life to the streets like the first Apostles.” Taking the
Holy Father’s challenge literally for past 19 years, students
from colleges and universities across North America have been
walking the highways and byways of Canada and the U.S. each
summer and working to help build a Culture of Life. Their mis-
sion as they walk is to take the pro-life message to the streets
through their prayerful and peaceful pro-life witness.
This summer, volunteer college students will be walking
thousands of kilometers with Crossroads on their four simulta-
neous Summer 2014 pro-life walks. The walks started in Van-
couver, Seattle, San Francisco and Los Angeles on May 24th
and will end with simultaneous pro-life rallies in Ottawa and
Washington, DC on August 16.
If you would more information about Crossroads or would like
to support their efforts please visit www.crossroadswalk.org -
Thank you.
