Living the Marks of Mission: Parish revitalization 101

Notes: Janice Schweder, a former high school teacher, and parishioner of All Saints Anglican Church in Hagersville, Ontario, who formed the All Saints Community Youth Group. "Her goal was to give All Saints a youthful infusion and to get community kids positively involved in public life. Starting in 2011, with an average age of 14 years, the All Saints Community Youth Group has helped the Lions Club with its annual food drive, Easter egg hunt and Summer's End festival. .... Another big hit is the annual Purina Walk for Dog Guides, which raises money for the Lions Foundation's school in Oakville to train dogs ($25,0000 apiece) to work with the blind, the deaf, the autistic, the wheelchair-bound and other special-needs groups".
