The New Hamburg Firebirds are once again asking for your help and continued support for their annual Thanksgiving Food Drive.
Since its inception The New Hamburg Firebirds Thanksgiving game night, along with the students and their schools participating in the Shopping Cart Challenge we have been able to collect over 28,500 lbs of non- perishable food to put on the shelves of the Wilmot Family Resource Centre
After being very restricted for a couple of years as to what we were able to do, Last year we were back in full force and by the end of the food drive 8,530 lbs of food donations and over $3,000.00 in monetary donations were collected. The New Hamburg Firebirds Thanksgiving Food Drive’s huge success only becomes reality because of the phenomenal help of people in a community that just continues to give.
Unfortunately this year is no different than past years…, the fact is we are in great need of your help and support more than ever. New Hamburg has a well-deserved reputation for its welcoming attitude and kindness. While we don’t know what changes and challenges lie in the future, we do know that we are resilient, and we can adapt to what ever comes next and continue to learn from the past. One of the things that make New Hamburg such a great place to live is the way residents come together to assist , and support each other if the need presents itself. I see this evidence in every part of the community, especially this time of year.
The New Hamburg Firebirds always strive to do their best in giving back to the community and this is why we truly need you to be part of our team to help us help the Wilmot Family Resource Centre.
Please give whatever you can and we hope to see everyone at the Thanksgiving Friday Night Game on October 6.
The Princess Cinemas in Waterloo will be premiering a documentary produced and directed by a local Nigerian artist and academic.

There is some violence depicted and many references to war and violence, so this film would be be appropriate for older viewers – i.e. secondary school students, and parents.

The following message is shared on behalf of the Holy Family Parish Council of Catholic Men:
It is with great pride that we congratulate Jonathan Paul Reitzel on his ordination to the priesthood on Saturday, May 6th.
For the past 25 years, he has been a member of Holy Family Paris. Jonathan has spent the past 9 years in seminary preparing for this goal.
His life will be to serve and love our lord Jesus Christ as well as shepherd the people of the Roman Catholic Church.
The Council of Catholic Men, on behalf of the parish, would like to congratulate Father Jonathan. He is the fist member of Holy Family Parish to enter the pristhood. He has not done this without the guidance and prayers of his family and from the parish.

There is great love and pride that Jonathan will continue with this tradition.
God be with you Jonathan.
