ShareLife
The wonders of aging with dignity...
In our aging society, there is an increasing demand for
support and services to help seniors live independently in the
community as long as they can. When that is no longer
possible, they deserve the opportunity to live out their lives
with dignity.
More than 45,000 seniors in the GTA took advantage of
programs and services offered by ShareLife agencies in
2009, enjoying the wonder-filled benefits of recreation,
education and social interaction. In addition, 3,400 seniors
in need of more personalized attention received in-residence
services through ShareLife agencies.
Your support will sustain the work ShareLife agencies
do to address the needs of those seeking help and care.
Please give generously. You can work WONDERS!

Liturgy Spotlight...
Eschatology is a theological term (from the Greek) we use
to refer to the last or end times. All of life and creation is
advancing toward a time of final fulfilment, of final glory,
of final return of all to God.
Eschatology is not simply speculation about the end of
time or the fate of the individual beyond death. A
heightened awareness of eschatology brings about in us a
hope supplied by God’s promise to redeem and renew all
of humanity and creation.
