St. Columban busy preparing
for celebration. of Christmas
The hamlet of St.
Columban is abuzz with
activity as residents are busy
with preparations for the
celebration of Christmas.
Workplace festive
celebrations are part of the
season as are many family
parties and gatherings.
Children are busy preparing
for the big day, counting the
"sleeps" until the arrival of
Santa Claus.
St. Columban parish hall
was the gathering place for
area Knights of Columbus as
they travelled from Zurich,
Goderich, Brussels and
surrounding areas for their
annual Christmas party.
Four young parishioners
from St. Columban parish
received the sacrament of
St. Columban
confirmation in a recent
celebration at St. Patrick's
Church in Dublin. Erin
Cronin, fan Murray, Kevin
Cronin and Katie Ryan were
surrounded, along with the
other candidates, by parents,
family members, relatives,
neighbours and friends, as the
sacrament was conferred by
Bishop Fabbro.
The Grade Five and Six
students at St. Columban
School also received the
sacrament of reconciliation
for the first time in a school
celebration. The students are
preparing for their Advent
Mass to be held in St.
Patrick's Church in Dublin, in
preparation for Christmas.
The reviews have been
good for the St. Patrick's/St.
Columban's School
Christmas C.D. which is now
being distributed. The church
choirs of St. Patrick's, St.
Vincent de Paul, and St.
Columban also contributed to
the Christmas CD.
Joseph Patrick Moylan, son
of Pat and Deb Moylan, was
surrounded by family
members and relatives as
Father Gordon Kennedy
celebrated mass and baptized
him at a recent celebration in
St. Columban Church.
Joseph's godparents were
Michael Moylan and
Kathleen Moylan. Also in
attendance were his
grandparents, Rita Moylan,
and Bill and Grace Campbell.
Ron and Mary Ryan have
spoken via telephone with
their son, Corporal Joe Ryan,
who returned to Winnipeg
from a six-month tour of duty
with other members of the
Canadian Armed Forces.
They served in a support
capacity with the special
forces in Afghanistan in
"Operation Athena," the
name given the mission. Joe
is welcomed home by his
wife, Paula, son Brent, and
daughters, Megan and Erin.

Legion hosts children's Christmas party
Cribbage has gotten off
to a good start with six
tables. The euchre had 11
tables out last Wednesday.
If it keeps growing as it
normally does, we will have to
enlarge the hall.
The ladies have taken on the
task of providing for us on
Friday nights.
Last Sunday afternoon was
the children's Christmas party
Seaforth Legion
with some very talented
children taking part. From the
organizers' point of view there
is much more talent out there
who could have taken part but
it could have been the weather.
The New Year's Eve tickets
are going well. There are only
16 days till the year ends.
Don't get left out.
This Thursday night is the
general meeting at 8 p.m. This
is another reminder to come
out and support your executive
members who are working
hard to keep the branch afloat
from month to month.
Also there is a chance to
meet your new bartender
"Rick whatshisname."
Hello to our shut-ins, from
all at home or in the Manor or
Maplewood.
At the going down of the sun
and in the morning we will
remember them.

Looking like Christmas at Queensway
It's beginning to look a lot
like Christmas at Queensway
Nursing and Retirement
Home in Hensall due to the
decorating efforts of several
staff, especially Bev Hedden
who is particularly gifted at
transforming our Christmas
trees into beautiful themed
visions.
The Retirement Home staff
and residents held a
decorating bee on their floor
complete with refreshments
last week to' "spruce" up for
Christmas.
Lisa Stewart, music
therapist spent Monday
morning with residents
working her musical magic
with a small group and several
individual residents. Lisa
provides a very valuable
therapy, in that music reaches
many people unable to benefit
from other programs.
Queensway's volunteer
auxiliary met Tuesday
morning to preview December
events and offer their
assistance wherever needed.
The Meals on Wheels
program especially would be
difficult to provide without
these dedicated women who
deliver Monday, Wednesday
and Friday.
The Rev. John Tremulak of
Dashwood Lutheran Church
led worship Tuesday, for
residents with Belva Fuss as
volunteer organist. In the
evening Exeter Gospel
Singers visited with an
inspiring presentation of
sacred music.
Volunteer Marg Cole spent
her Wednesday afternoon
organizing the card games for
our euchre enthusiasts. Often
family members join their
loved ones for Scrabble
competition or other favourite
