To help students stay connected and to support remote learning, the TDSB is lending internet-enabled devices to families who do not have access to devices. In order to apply for one of these devices, please fill out the following form as soon as possible: https://tdsb.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_24CSItMznYXabrf *CanadaHelps In a very difficult time for churches who depend on regular services and their regular events for financial support, "CanadaHelps" is a Canadian charity that helps make online giving possible for charities, safely and securely. We are now registered with CanadaHelps and you can find the online form on the "Giving" page of the website. We also have forms available for registering with our "Pre-Authorized Giving" program. Or, church envelopes can be mailed in. From what I have been told, giving has been generous in March through a very difficult season. *Our website is now clean and clear of all troubles: www.stpl.ca My sincere thanks to Zach and the technical support we received at www.Blacksun.ca. *Office hours are effectively suspended, but the answering service works fine and we'll reply to phone calls and e-mail a.s.a.p.. *We are updating our email contact information as quickly as possible. If you know someone who would like to receive these notes, please have them pass along their email addresses. And if not, kindly let us know. *Of greatest immediate concern is the welfare of any member who is frail and those, young and old, who are on their own. Please check in with those you know. Don't hesitate to contact us if you are aware of anyone in need or distress. *A basic schedule of services continues at the church: the daily offices, Friday Bible study and a Sunday gathering for prayer. On Sundays at 10.30 a.m., the parish is invited to pause for prayer for the parish. This can be done on one's own or you may follow along a video, found on the church website. *The financial needs of the parish remain and your faithful support is sought - through the mail service or the Pre-Authorized Giving Program. We now have an online means of giving through CanadaHelps, here: https://stpl.ca/give.html *The clergy of St. Paul's are all in the vicinity. If any one of us can be of service, don't hesitate to call or write. Church website www.stpl.ca Church phone: 416-499-1545 Church email: [email protected] Fr.
