Bishop’s Gala We are pleased to announce the details for the Bishop’s Gala, which will take place on Saturday, April
30, 2016, at Our Lady of Fatima Church Hall in Victoria. The Gala will open with a champagne reception at 6 PM, fol-
lowed by a sit-down dinner with entertainment by award-winning Victoria-based jazz singer Maureen Washington. The
purpose of the Gala is to raise funds for West Coast Missions: specifically, to fund two Religious of the Virgin Mary
Sisters who will arrive this summer from the Philippines to minister in Ahousaht, located on the east side of Flores Is-
land in Clayoquot Sound. The average annual cost to support two Sisters in our Diocese is $60,000. Our Gala will cele-
brate and financially support this renewed initiative of pastoral presence, and reaffirm our commitment to this journey
with our Nuu-chah-nulth sisters and brothers. Tickets are $100 per person; tables of 8 are available. Tax receipts will be
issued in the amount of $25 per ticket. Tickets may be purchased through EventBrite (www.bishopsgala.eventbrite.ca)
or by phoning the Pastoral Centre at (250) 479-1331. There is a limited number of tickets available on a first-come,
first-served basis. The Bishop’s Gala promises fun, friendship, amazing food and world-class entertainment, all sur-
rounding the worthy goal of supporting the missionary outreach of our Diocese. Gather together your family and
friends for this exciting event! Bishop’s Gala: Auction Items. The Bishop’s Gala will include Silent and Live Auctions
to help us reach our fundraising goal. We are seeking items for these Auctions and would be grateful for your generosi-
ty. Please contact Char Deslippe by email to [email protected]; or by phone, (250) 381-5839, if you are able to con-
tribute.

Refugee committee. What are the responsibilities of the sponsoring group? Sponsoring groups agree to provide the
refugees with care, lodging, settlement assistance and support for the duration of the sponsorship period. Normally, this is
12 months starting from the refugee's arrival in Canada or until the refugee becomes self-sufficient, whichever comes first.
Private sponsors normally support the sponsored refugees by: providing the cost of food, rent and household utilities and
other day-to-day living expenses; providing clothing, furniture and other household goods; locating interpreters; selecting
a family physician and dentist; assisting with applying for provincial health-care coverage; enrolling children in school and
adults in language training; introducing newcomers to people with similar personal interests; providing orientation with
regard to banking services, transportation, etc.; and helping in the search for employment.
www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/publications/ref-sponsor/section-2.asp#a2.7
We have applied to become a sponsoring group. Estimated Budget: For the family who we invited to Canada (mother, fa-
ther and 4 year old child) for a period of one year, the budget provides a very rough estimate, with many built in assump-
tions. Assumptions include that the government will cover all travel, medical, dental and training costs; also that furnish-
ing, appliances and some clothing will be donated.
Expenses: Accommodation/Utilities monthly $ 1,300. Annual: $18,000. Food and Essentials: monthly $ 900. Annual:
$10,800; Clothing Annual 1,000. Discretionary Spending: Monthly $200 Annual: $18,000. Transportation: Monthly $ 180
Annual: $2,160. Sundry Extras: (School Supplies, furniture, Medical etc). Total Annual $ 4,000. Travel to Canada: $ 5,000
Total: 39, 960. The adjustment will be made as emerging government support is clarified and received donation in kind.
So far we collected $6,695.65 plus one of the families donated furnishings to their new home. If you can help please
let us know ([email protected]) . If you want to donate some money please use envelopes marked “refugees”.

What are the Western Catholic Fast Guidelines for
Good Friday?
Fasting means eating only one full meatless (no animal
flesh) meal on this day. However, one may still eat a break-
fast and even a lunch in addition to a full meal if the two
additional small meals do not add up to a second full meal.
Snacking is not allowed. Drinking coffee, tea, juices, etc,
between meals is permitted on fast days. The requirements
are slightly different for those of certain ages. Fasting is
only required of those from ages 18-59, although parents
are expected to teach their children the reasons behind their
fasting, etc. Those with health conditions are excluded.
Note that some Western Bishop Conferences, Eastern Cath-
olic Rites, and Orthodox Christians have different fasting
guidelines, so it is wise to check with your local parish
about expectations. These are simply the minimum expecta-
tions. Additional forms of self-denial, within reason, can
also be spiritually beneficial.
