St Mark’s Community of the Deaf in Edmonton, along with the International Catholic Deaf Association–Canadian Section, is hosting a pilgrimage to Rome and Assisi this October. To defray the tuition for the event, we are having a bottle drive–accepting refundable, empty beverage containers of all kinds–every Saturday until the end of September at St Theresa’s Catholic Parish from 10AM until 3PM at the East Basement Doors. Ten per cent of the proceeds will go to the poor by way of the St Vincent de Paul Society.

The goal of the pilgrimage is to rediscover the apostolic ministries of Sts Peter and Paul and the history of the apostolic Church at Rome as well as to discover for the first time the unique charism of St Francis of Assisi.
