The program of songs and responses for the 4th Sunday of Advent (this coming Sunday, Dec. 18th), is attached.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">And here's a quick update on Mary Lou. Yesterday, Dec. 14th, she was transferred from St. Michael's Hospital to the Providence Healthcare Centre. This is an "interim placement", a place where she can live and be cared for while waiting for a a long term care opening to come through. We are in the process of sending in, with the LTC application, a list of different care facilities. Waiting times can vary, but most places have long waiting lists.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Providence Healthcare is at 3276 St. Clair Avenue East, at Warden Avenue. It is a short walk from the Warden Subway Station on the Bloor Street subway line. Mary Lou is in D Wing, Room 224. She may be asked eventually to change rooms, but this is where she is for the next little while. Our daughter Lesley is visiting from Ottawa this week. She was able to be with her Mom yesterday to help with the move, and travelled with Mary Lou in the ambulance to Providence.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Best wishes to all.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Brian</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div><br></div><div class="ydp9f6abf6asignature"><div style="font-family:new times, serif;font-size:16px;"><font color="#4c76a2" size="4"><i>Brian J.
