Compassion Fund – The Compassion Fund is there to help out people in our neighbourhoods in some specific financial need. Lately it has helped a family after a house fire. Currently it is renewing its annual backpack program (details to follow) and assisting the Food Bank and others by making available Old Home Week ride bracelets for children otherwise unable to participate. Speak with Nancy Clarke, Louise Bell or the rector.

There is good news. They’re back. Since at least 2017 Mary Whiteway and Patti Connors have been designing, building and maintaining the lovely flower garden at St Luke’s that is the showpiece of Woodstock’s Main Street.
