Each year, the Knights of Columbus work to ensure that every child in our community has a warm winter coat. Last year, thanks to your incredible generosity, we purchased 336 winter coats for children across Holy Apostles Parish, reaching families in New Ross, Chester, Hubbards, Tantallon, Hammonds Plains, Timberlea, Prospect, and Shad Bay.

In anticipation of the need again this year, the Council has already placed an order for 360 coats valued at $11,430 (30 x $381) and we’re asking our parish community to once again come together and sponsor a coat (or several!) for a local child in need. Each coat costs just $31.75, thanks to a national procurement program that keeps costs low.

How You Can Help ⤵️

• Consider prayerfully sponsoring one or more coats

• Donations can be made via cheque or e-transfer to ssvpsmbc@gmail.com
  (Please note “Coats for Kids” in the message line.) All donations made through SSVP are eligible for an income tax receipt.

Thank you for your continued kindness, generosity, and prayerful support!

God bless you,
The Knights of Columbus Council 12917

Chalice is a Canadian Catholic international child sponsorship organization that has, for over 30 years, helped children overcome poverty through education, empowerment, and hope-filled opportunities!

Here at Holy Apostles Parish, our parishioners currently sponsor 10 p children through Chalice. As of the end of August 2025, our total income was $3,003.84, while our expenses were $5,040.00 - leaving a shortfall of $2,036.16. We invite everyone to pray for these children and contribute a little extra to our “Pocket Change for Change” initiative so we can continue to support them fully.

We are pleased to announce that the St. Augustine Women's Guild has generously made a financial donation to HAP to help alleviate some of the negative balance we currently have with Chalice. We are truly grateful for their kindness and support. Every bit truly makes a difference in their lives!

(The St. Augustine’s Guild in Chester sponsors a child and manages their own payments, the SMB Guild in Upper Tantallon sponsors a child and manages their own payments, the Knights of Columbus also sponsors a child and manages their own payments)
