Thank You for a Wonderful 5th Annual Book Sale!

Friends of St. Matthew's and neighbours across Windsor–Essex, THANK YOU!

Our 5th Annual Giant Community Book Sale was a tremendous success. Over the course of two days, more than 1,000 people walked through our displays — thousands upon thousands of books lovingly sorted, arranged, and offered to the community.

We extend heartfelt thanks to everyone who donated such wonderful books, and to the volunteers who prepared the hall, organized each category, welcomed guests, and stayed faithfully from Friday evening through Saturday afternoon. Your generosity and dedication made this event shine.

A special word of gratitude to Juniper Books, and to Louise Davis and Roger Wurdemann , whose ministry of encouragement, expertise, and steadfast support continues to bless our parish in countless ways.

Blessings to you and yours,
and thank you for helping make this year’s sale our best yet.

Every Child Matters — September 30

Holy and Loving Creator,
On this Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we come before you with humility and open hearts.
We remember the children who were taken from their families, their languages, their cultures, and their homes.
We hold in sacred memory those who never returned, whose absence is felt in every generation that followed.

We honour the Survivors — their courage, their stories, their resilience.
Bless them with strength, healing, and the assurance that their truth is heard, cherished, and carried forward.
May their voices continue to guide us toward justice and renewed relationships.

We acknowledge the harm caused by residential schools, including those within our own communities and Diocese.
We confess the ways in which silence, denial, and complicity have wounded Indigenous children, families, and Nations.
Forgive us, O God, and turn our hearts toward the work of repair.

Bless the lands where these schools once stood, especially the Mohawk Institute — the Mush Hole — and all places where children suffered.
May these sites become spaces of truth-telling, remembrance, and transformation.

Inspire us to walk gently and faithfully with Indigenous Peoples,
to listen deeply,
to learn honestly,
and to act courageously for justice.

Every Child Matters.
Every Child is Loved.
Every Child is Yours.

Amen.

Thank you, Bishop Todd Townshend , for this important and compassionate reminder as we approach the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

St. Matthew's deeply grateful for your leadership in guiding our Diocese to remember the children who were taken, to honour Survivors, and to confront the truth of what happened at residential schools — including at the Mohawk Institute, the “Mush Hole,” here in our own region.

Your encouragement to listen to Survivors’ stories and to learn from the Woodland Cultural Centre and the Survivors’ Secretariat is a meaningful call to action. Every Child Matters, and your words help us walk this path with humility, truth, and commitment.

🧡 Every Child Matters.

We also extend sincere appreciation to Archdeacon Carrie Irwin , our Territorial Archdeacon; to the Diocesan Council; to the Land and Property Committee; and to the Administration and Finance Committee of the Diocese of Huron . Your support, oversight, and collaboration were essential in bringing this project to completion.
