Rose:
Archbishop Aloysius Ambrozic, for offering a Mass on the Feast of the Holy Innocents for Catholics in the pro-life movement. His Grace has invited members of the Toronto pro-life movement to offer the Mass and meet him in a reception. The move is seen as a splendid gesture on the part of the Archbishop and will give area pro-life Catholics a much-needed spiritual boost.
Thorn:
The Ontario Ministry of Health whose funding cuts are forcing officials at West Park Hospital in Toronto to keep chronic care patients in bed for 2 days a week. The hospital saves money by not helping the patients get dressed and sit in wheelchairs for a change of scenery. This cutback applies to only chronic care patients (those who won’t get better.) Rehabilitation patients will not have their services cut.
