Are laws allowing euthanasia & assisted suicide leading society down a dangerous path? Should medical professionals have the legal right to end human lives? How do these laws affect society over time? In last weekends Gospel, Jesus instructed us to “Tend my Sheep”, “Feed My Lambs”. How can we carry out this mission without educating ourselves with the facts before we begin? On Wednesday night, May. 15th you have an opportunity to learn about the facts with relation to assisted suicide or better know as euthanasia. The documentary Fatal Flaws examines the affects that euthanasia has had in the Netherlands, Belgium, the U.S.A. and Canada. I would recommend this documentary to anyone of high school age or older, particularly young adults who in the near future may be required to make these decisions for their parents, spouses, and even their children or even have these decisions taken out of their hands. Legalizing Assisted Death Are laws allowing euthanasia & assisted suicide leading society down a dangerous path? Filmmaker Kevin Dunn travels to the Netherlands, Belgium, the USA and Canada to ask some of the most fundamental philosophical questions of our time: Should we be giving medical professionals the legal right to end the life of another human being? How do these laws affect society over time? SCREENING INFORMATION: Wednesday May 15, 2019, 7:00- 9:00 p.m. at St. Anne's Community Centre, 22 Morrison Drive, St. Thomas.

FAMILY OF PARISHES Earlier this week, it was formally announced that our Family of Parishes, including St. Mary’s in West Lorne, St. Helen’s in Wallacetown, Our Lady of Sorrows in Aylmer, St. Anne’s and Holy Angels’ in St. Thomas, will be activated on July 1, 2019. The model of Family of Parishes is fairly new to us in the Diocese of London. We have been working with, and learning from other Dioceses that have similar models of parish organization. Our goal is to ensure that the transition over the next six months is as smooth as possible. Families of Parishes will create the stability needed that will allow our parishes to spread the Good News of Jesus Christ and to form intentional disciples. This is our goal; this is the mission of the Church. The transition will lead us to focus on this mission. Nothing will change until July. Realizing, though, that interim work will be needed to prepare for implementation, we will keep you informed about any changes needed in order to work together as a Family of Parishes. We will be looking for your input on some of these changes in due course. Like all families that grow and change, there will be bumps, bruises, and blessings on the way. Let us pray to the Holy Spirit and to our patron saints for the success of this endeavour.
