Human Trafficking Kelly Franklin, an ward winning speaker and advocate on the issue of
human trafficking and sexual abuse, will be presenting in All Saints Church
on Tuesday, Oct 22 at 7:30pm. Everyone is welcome-men, women, young
adults and teens. Kelly works with survivors of sex trafficking at Farmland
near Aylmer, using equine therapy. We may think that this crime does not
exist here in Southwestern Ontario but statistics show that 60% of human
trafficking victims are targeted and trafficked along the 400 series corridor
in Ontario, and the average age of victims is 131/2. Please join us on
Tuesday, Oct 22 at 7:30pm at All Saints Church to become more aware of
the need to help protect all vulnerable young women and girls from
trafficking.

“Henry Domienik Tomaszewski has petitioned to
be ordained as a deacon. Bishop Ronald P.
Fabbro, C.S.B. has accepted his petition and in-
tends to ordain Henry Tomaszewski to the diaco-
nate on November 9, 2019, at St. Peter’s Cathedral
Basilica, London, Ontario. If you are aware of
anything which would prevent this Candidate from
proceeding toward ordination on November 9,
2019, you are obligated to make this known to the
appropriate authorities. Please continue to pray
for Henry Tomaszewski as he prepares for
ordination.”
