The 16 acts kept the audience in good humour throughout the evening, while some liked the puppy in the scotch box, others sympathized with the young bride and her headache!

Some parishes locally have their last assigned priest then they'll be clustered with other parishes. Out Grand Bend parish would be clustered with Parkhil. and Forest. Father Beck asked the CWL to pray for vo- cations and to pray for the Church to find guidance in its quest to recruit more priests. Father Beck is encour- aging parishioners to come to church for even 15 min- utes on the first Saturday of the month between 10 a.m. and noon to attcnd the Exposition of the Blessed Sacra- ment and to pray for vocations. There was a discussion of the pros and cons of married men as priests. The next CWL meeting will be Tuesday, October 11. Members ended the evening with a period of fellow- ship and refreshments.
