At the beginning of the year (Jan 2011) Janet asked the St. Luke's Sunday School children to think of ways they could help people in their community. They came up with a few ideas, held a fundraising bake sale at the O'Leary Co-Op and raised $200 which will be used in a few ways to help-out people, ie. teddy bears for sick children in the community. The children have a few more ideas, stay tuned, we'll let you know what they do next.

Front Row: Teddy Bears!!!!!The people of the Parish of Alberton-O'Leary help one another and the people in our community. Call on us if you need help. We are all neighbours in God's eyes. As a Christian community we strive to live out our baptismal covenant of proclaiming by word and example the good news of God in Christ, seeking and serving Christ in all persons, loving neighbour as self, and working for justice, peace and dignity amoung all people. This we do, with God’s help.
