Vandals smash church
windows: shutters needed
By Hazel Davis
SAINTSBURY CORRESPONDENT
SAINTSBURY - In place
of an enjoyable evening
prayer service at St.
Patrick's Sept. 5, the
congregation were met
with
shock,
horror
and disgust when they
saw the devastation. The
original windows and
screens on the east side
of Racey Memorial Hall
along with the aluminum
storms and screens (a
gift from Helen
McDonald and the late
Maurice MacDonald and
family), were all com-
pletely ruined.
Curtains and table-
cloths nearest the win-
dows were also
destroyed, with the bro-
ken glass part way
across the hall.
A partial Louisville
Slugger was in the
parish hall and another
partial slugger bat was
found outside along with
ice packs and beer caps.
The tip of an umbrella
was stuck in a screen.
This is wicked and we
all feel very saddened,
violated and helpless.
Six weeks ago a golf
ball was used to smash a
similar window in the
kitchen, and more beer
caps were left for us to
clean up. Makeshift
repairs had to be made
due to weather warnings
and the elements.
Anyone with shutters
stored away in a shed or
basement, we would be
happy to receive them if
they are not needed else -
w h e r e.
Please phone
227-1369 if
you can help.
Evening prayer
A short evening prayer
was led by Bob
MacGillivray and assist-
ed by Corbin
MacGillivray and Josh
White. Service closed
with prayers and
evening hymn. A short
business meeting fol-
lowed with needs for
repairs and preparing
for Harvest Service Sept.
26 with Rev. Stanley Jay.
Weekend service Sept.
11 and 12 at St. Patrick's
was cancelled due to
members working on the
parish hall.
Vehicle hit
The community thanks
God for the safety of Ron
and Margaret Carroll
whose vehicle was hit
from behind at Highway
4 and Whalen Line. The
Carrolls had to be cut
out of their vehicle and
were transferred to
South Huron Hospital for
cuts, bruises and a num-
ber of ongoing tests.
Cousins Gord and
Connie Noels of Grand
SAINNSBURY NEWS
Bend and John and
Joyce Dickey of Centralia
along with Davis and
MacGillivray families vis-
ited with Hugh and
Hazel Davis over the
past two weeks.
ACW Council
Hazel Davis attended
Sept. 6 of the two-day
overnight ACW Council
of the Diocese of Huron
held at the Michaelite
Fathers Retreat Centre
near London. Rev. Kim
Van Allen was guest
speaker and gave two
wonderful presentations,
In the Image of God.
It was a marvellous
day. A small brown bag
auction was held in the
evening with approxi-
mately $200 to be sent
to our companion dio-
cese in South Africa.
On Sunday the Davises
enjoyed service at 10:30
a.m. at St. James'
Anglican Church,
Stratford, 15th Sunday
after Pentecost with Rev.
Dr. Lorne Mitchell offi-
ciant and celebrant. This
is the fifth church in
Perth Deanery in 2004
for Hazel to visit as Perth
Deanery ACW represen-
tative. All the churches
are updating their histo-
ry for the ACW Perth
Deanery Binder.
A number of family
members have been vis-
iting the Carrolls recent-
ly.
