As part of fund raising efforts at St. Joseph’s, Randy and Wendy Piccini hosted a huge banquet at the church in December, in part as an acknowledgment of their 40th wedding anniversary. They generously donated the food (and Brian Ayotte donated his excellent homemade wine) and then, with the help of numerous assistants from St. Joseph’s, provided a feast for the community. Tickets were $30 per person and open to all. The hall was filled to capacity with 166 people, from churches, as well as from the community at large. It was a very festive event and it was clear that everyone was experiencing the pleasure of sharing efforts to support the Syrian refugees. It is important to point out what a blessing it has been to be involved with helping Syrian refugees in such great need. The support and generosity in the community of Salmon Arm has been overwhelming. “We are reminded that the love and support we share with others are truly the hands and light of Christ in the world. Others will indeed know we are Christians by our love!”
