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.”
