EASTER MEMORIAL PROGRAM – BRYONY HOUSE The funds from this year’s Easter Memorials will go to Bryony House, a 24-room shelter in Dartmouth, to help support their programs. Each year, approximately 500 individuals and their children stay there and 2500 distress calls are answered. Their dedicated counselors answer the 24-hour distress line, provide individual/group support, public education, advocacy and referrals. An important part of their work is to break the cycle of intimate partner violence (IPV). With a tax-deductible donation of $10 or more, your dedication will be printed in the Easter bulletins. The deadline is noon on April 13. For more information, or to submit your donation/memorial, please contact the Parish Treasurer, Dorothy, at: d.dauphinee2009@gmail.com or 902-826-2305.
