The 2020 HUC budget is presented below along

with the revenue to date.

Church maintenance project for the summer of 2020:

changing the back flood light and gutters, provided

no surprises while doing so.

Because of the Covid-19 pandemic, the Howick

United Church will remain closed until September

2020. There may be a lawn church service on the

last Sunday of August, conditions depending.

The flower beds of the Howick United Church are

beautiful this year, worth stopping to see them.

Thank you Marina Steiner, Marlene Stuckey, Anita

Greig, Faith Anderson and Allyson Orr.

The Howick Catholic church was sold in June 2020

to an antic dealer ‘La Chaise Rouge’. The Parish of

Très Saint Sacrement was founded in 1885. The

catholic church was built in 1909 as designed by the

architect Arthur Godin. Originally, the French set-

tlers called the village ‘La Fourche’ being located at

the intersection of the Chateauguay and English

Rivers. (www.histoire-du-québec.ca).

The front cover picture of Howick United

Church is new, but the building has not changed

over the years. The HUC was built in 1927.

Good used summer clothing are being accepted to

take to Montreal by Mac Orr. They will be used for 2

organizations in Montreal.

The church kitchen is still in need of a new stove.

Please contact Marlene Stuckey if you can donate

one.
