It is for women from all over the world that this year will be praying for the Women of Slovenia.

The women here in Petrolia represent all of the churches and came together to organize this prayer and song service. It is to be held on the first Friday of every March.  At this service we will collect money that will be sent to this small country just north of Croatia, to help the poor women of that country. Next year the country will be the women of Zimbabwe.

On March 23rd, 2019, the Independent Living Centre is holding it annual Swing Dance & Silent Auction.

This fundraiser raises money for programs and services for people with disabilities in our community.

Come join us along with the La Salle Causeway Swing Band at the Royal Canadian Legion 560 on Montreal St. this March 23rd for an

evening of fun, music and entertainment!
