We will be holding our Textile Drive from May 11-20, 2024
Items may be brought to Corpus Christi Hall between 1:00 pm and 7:00 pm on those dates. Additional information will be added as details are confirmed. Please see our Textile Drive page for details.
We have learned of a group that teaches immigrants English while teaching them sewing skills. When they graduate, they are given their own sewing machine. If you have a portable sewing machine in good working condition and would like to give it purpose in a new home, please .
This project was supported in our parish by deceased member Dora Etty and is now convened by Sandi Doucet. Volunteers knit or sew small blankets which are then donated to MacDonald House or to the Children’s Hospital. Sandi will accept all donated wools/yarns, take them to the knitters, pick up completed blankets and deliver them.
Kindly be advised of this report informing the CWL of the balance of knitting of blankets etc. for the year 2020, and brought to McDonald House for the families with children in need of medical attention at The Childrens Hospital:
Ronald McDonald House Charities Alberta valued this contribution at $1550. The people who knit these items have received letters of thanks from the families involved. We wish to thank the volunteers for their work, and time in helping to make the lives of the recipients of these items a little easier and to bring a little joy to their children.
Respectfully Presented
Sandra Doucet
