invoked at Sunday masses.

St. Ann's C.W.L. tries to reach out to all age groups in the parish. A special dinner and Christmas party for all seniors of the community is an annual December event.

Members participate in Upper Room collections and also assist needy families of the parish. Christmas food baskets are provided for bachelors and others who are living alone.

St. Ann's C.W.L. attempts to reach out and assist in all aspects of parish life and in doing so, are trying to live out the mission statement of ”Calling all members to holiness through service to the people of God."

Over the years, St. Ann's C.W.L. has supported the Pro—Life Movement by writing letters to Members of Parliament, taking out mem- berships in the Queen Elizabeth and Prince County Hospitals and The Right to Life Organization. St. Ann's C.W.L. also took part in a letter writing campaign opposing pornography in its many forms. Resolutions on many issues and concerns were submitted and presented at our annual meetings.

Although the reason for the existence of the C.W.L. is not fund rais— ing, it goes without saying that in order to support our many projects and charities, a certain amount of money is required. Over the years, funds have been raised by holding bingos, lotteries, card parties and banquets. More recently, our major fund raiser is our annual parish bazaar, which has proven to be a very successful endeavour in that it involves all mem- bers of the parish, both the young and the not-so—young.

Over the past number of years, financial support was given to: Mental Health Association, Holy Father's Relief Fund, Development and Peace, Allied Youth, Crippled Children's Fund, Mass for Shut-Ins, T.B. League, Alcohol and Drug Problems Institute, St. Ann's 4-H Council, School—related activities, Unitarian Service Committee, Vanier Institute, Right to Life Association and C.Y.P.L.O., Sacred Heart Fund, Catholic Scholarship Fund, Pro—Life Association, Council of the Disabled, Cody Institute, St. Martha's House for Unwed Mothers, donations to needy families, donations to local missionary, Save A Family Plan and support for seminarians.

Many other events took place in our C.W.L., such as "A Blue Army Vigil" in 1985, pilgrimage to Brae 1984, the placing of a wreath on the cenotaph on Remembrance Day, the restoration of the pioneer graveyard in Hope River and the raising of the papal flag in honour of the Pope's visit to Canada.
