The Parish of Labrador West: Outreach |
Priest-in-Charge: The Reverend Wayne Parsons |
Our Parish Family participates in various forms of Outreach within our community, to other parts of our Province, to other areas of our Country, and throughout the world! Food Bank: Our Parish supports the Labrador West Ministerial Association Food Bank through our numerous volunteers, and by providing donations of food on a regular basis. Hospital Services: Hospital visitation is a regular element of our Rector's schedule. If you would like a visit while you are in hospital, please get the Nursing staff to contact the Rector and let him know. Additionally, as one of the members of the Ministerial Association, our Parish leads worship in the Chapel at the Hospital on a regular basis. The Labrador Coast: Our Parish regularly supports special projects or requests from Parishes on the Coast of Labrador, particularly the Parishes of Cartwright and Battle Harbour. We also collect donations of used clothing which are then shipped to Happy Valley/Goose Bay for distribution along the Coast. Also, we are currently engaged in the Battle Harbour Mission Project to help provide a second priest in the Parish of Battle Harbour. National and International Support: Our Parish has offered financial and prayerful support to the Street Ministry work of Sanctuary in downtown Toronto. We are also regular supporters of The Primate's World Relief and Development Fund (PWRDF), which supports projects in Canada and around the world. Through our young people, we annually support Operation Christmas Child, which provides Christmas gifts to children in Third-world countries. Through our ACW's we also support Foster Children, the Leprosy Mission, and the School for the Deaf in St. John's. |
