All parish families and individual members will have an opportunity to sign up to be included in this directory and to book a photo session on the next three weekends before and after all Masses on
February 22 and 23, Feb 29 and March 1, and March 7 and 8.
All photo shoots will take place in the Foyer of the Church. Photo Shoots are scheduled for
March 9, 10, 11, and 13 all from 2:30 – 8:30pm, not on March 12 and Sat. March 14 from 10 am to 3 pm AND March 17, 18, 19, 20th from 2:30 to 8:30 and Saturday March 21 from 10 am to 3 pm
This photography session will be free of charge and each family that participates will receive a copy of the directory free of charge. Families will have the option to purchase any additional photos at a reduced cost but this is strictly voluntary.
This is an exciting time for our Parish and this Pictorial Directory will help us celebrate our faith community and contribute to the history of our parish. Please consider being part of this initiative and register at Mass on any of the weekends listed above. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact Marie Owen at 780 863 5379 or email the Parish office at Stjohnevangelist.edm@caedm.ca Remember, you and your family are an important part of this Christian Community and our directory will not be complete without YOU!
Home Support for Edmonton Seniors
The Greater Edmonton Alliance, which is endorsed and supported by the Archdiocese, has played an instrumental role in the creation of the Seniors Home Supports Program. The program meets the real needs of seniors in their homes today: the soft supports such as yard help, snow removal, housekeeping, and home repair and maintenance, among other services. This program is available to all seniors. It might not be for you, but it could very well be for someone you know: a family member, a friend, a neighbour. We invite you to share the following program resources with your parish or community. If you have questions, please contact Ken Bracke at 780-450-3138. For more information, you can also visit www.seniorshomesupports.com.
Helping Seniors Stay in the Community
Do you need help around the home, but don’t know who to call? The Seniors Home Supports Program gives Edmonton seniors referrals to service providers offering snow removal, yard help, housekeeping, minor home repair and maintenance, personal services, and moving help. Six seniors organizations screen businesses, community groups, and individuals and provide referrals. Referrals are free, but seniors pay for the work that is done. Visit www.SeniorsHomeSupports.com or call 211 to find out which organization serves your area of the city.
