Blessing
St. Nicholas Catholic Church Little
Church Will Have a Big Impact
St. Nicholas Catholic
Church was welcomed this week as the newest
addition to the YMCA Children’s Safety
Village. Director of Education Wilma de Rond and
Andrew Lockie, VP of Camping and Education
Services at the village, unveiled a plaque that
identifies the church. Board Chaplain, Fr. Jim
Mockler, blessed the church as a group of
children from Holy Family Catholic Elementary
School looked on.
The Catholic Principals Council of Ontario
funded the pad upon which this church is
sitting. The students from the Construction Work
Experience Program and their teachers, Eric
Orchard and Bill Lee, (Above) framed the church
and moved it to its new site. A team of
steady-handed volunteers - teachers,
superintendents, principals, family members and
even the Director - gave of their time to put
the finishing touches on the church.
Congratulations to Mother Teresa Catholic
Secondary School, which has been ranked among the top 75 schools
