Tom is remembered for his gentleness and quiet smile. Tom will be missed by his wife Bea, and his family, as well as all who knew him. He will be buried in St. Columban Cemetery in the spring. After mass celebrated at St. James Church, several area people gathered at the local Knights of Columbus Hall to celebrate the annual Communion Breakfast. Father Sebastian Groleau, from the Diocese of Hearst, was the guest speaker for the occasion. He is president of "Catholic Missions in Canada," which was founded' in 1908 as The Catholic Church Extension Society of Canada, to support Canada's missions. St. Columban Father Groleau told many stories of the dedicated missionaries, including priests, sisters and lay couples, who spend their lives under harsh and lonely conditions to bring the message of Christ to the people in many of the isolated areas of our country of Canada. In a simple and beautiful ceremony at St. Peter's Seminary in London, Mary Ryan from St. Columban, and Margaret Rowland from Mitchell, were recently presented with their Diocesan Certificates in Pastoral Ministry. The presentation of these certificates represents the completion of a number of courses in the Lay Formation program of London Diocese, which involves study in many areas of Catholic teaching and ministry. Mary Ryan serves in several aspects of parish ministry as a parish worker at St. Columban parish. Margaret Rowland also serves in many aspects of ministry in the cluster parishes of St. Patrick's in Dublin and St. Vincent de Paul in Mitchell, and is currently the chairperson of the pastoral council for those parishes. Young people in the area are preparing for the upcoming COR weekend, which will be held April 22, 23 and 24 at St. Patrick's School in Dublin. This weekend retreat is facilitated for young people between the ages of 15-21, giving them the opportunity to come together, meet new friends and reflect on various aspects of their life and faith. It is a weekend experience of music, fun and games, great discussions, good food and fellowship. Students at St. Columban School paid special tribute to Pope John Paul II in a prayer service facilitated by the Grade 7 class. The whole school gathered in St. Columban Church for the occasion, during which the late Holy Father was remembered in song and prayer. The students also participated in prayer assemblies for the late pontiff during his last illness. The senior students have been practising their basketball skills as that season of sport has arrived. While the boy's basketball team has some upcoming games, the girls' team has already shown success in games played in Hesson, Kinkora and Seaforth.
