Protester contre l’inacceptable

Par Jean Stahl, curé de la paroisse Christ Ressuscité

Les Cercles de Silence sont une manifestation mensuelle silencieuse dans plus de 175 villes de France, pour faire connaître le sort inhumain réservé à de nombreux étrangers et protester contre lui : violence destructrice de l’enfermement en Centre de Rétention, y compris d’enfants, familles et couples déchirés par l’expulsion de personnes en danger dans leur pays, retraits arbitraires de cartes de séjour, etc.

Des actes menés en notre nom, à nous, citoyens. Ils doivent être connus. Ils doivent cesser.

Le premier Cercle de Silence est né à Toulouse en 2007. A Strasbourg, le premier s’est rassemblé dès 2008. Informels, les Cercles sont soutenus par un grand nombre d’associations et mouvements (une cinquantaine Alsace) et rassemblent des personnes de toutes convictions politiques, philosophiques ou religieuses.

La Loi « Asile et Immigration », adoptée récemment par l’Assemblée Nationale, a aggravé les contrôles, les sanctions, le tri et le bannissement de milliers de personnes, hommes, femmes et enfants, qui vont être enfermées, assignées à résidence ou expulsées, privées de leurs droits.

Le prochain Cercle de Silence aura lieu mercredi 30 mai de 18h à 19h, Place Kléber. Il n’est pas obligatoire d’y rester toute l’heure… Soyons-y cependant nombreux à l’occasion de son 10e anniversaire !

On a beautiful December day, we went for a trip in the Vosges looking for a chalet site able to welcome our « Children Sleepover » 2017.  After a rather inconclusive first attempt, we finally discovered a chalet fulfilling all our expectations.

It is the « chalet des Amis de la Nature de la Chaume des Veaux » high above Hohwald. At 980 m above sea level, near the « Champ du Feu » ski resort, the house can be reached in all seasons via the Kreutzweg pass. The house offers 80 beds, split between 28 rooms of capacity for 2 up to 6.  There are two big dining rooms, one called Le Ranch seating 35, the other one can seat 70, and the kitchen is well equipped.

It is an ideal child friendly site:  they can play outside without any risk as there is no major road in the neighbourhood.  In case of rain, there are tables for games such as “baby foot” (table football)  and table tennis.

The ramblers will also be delighted as there are plenty of footpaths.  The view from the magnificent terrace and the quiet surroundings alone ma

To get there, please take the Strasbourg-Colmar motorway, take the exit Mittelbergheim-Andlau, drive through Andlau and Hohwald (in the direction of Champ du Feu) after the village, turn to the right at the panel indicating Chalet des Amis de la Nature.

We will be able to spend a weekend devoted to our children and friends, in God’s Grace. ke the trip worth while.

We have confirmed our booking for the weekend of 29th & 30th April.  Their rates enable us to offer even better tariffs than last year.

The weekend will cost 15 Euros per adult, 12 Euros per child up to 18 years of age, accommodation and food included.  We have set up a family offer for 40 Euros.  People joining us only for a day will contribute 5 Euros to the costs of meals and rental costs of the premises.

Please note that you will have to bring your sheets and pillow cases (or a sleeping bag). The detailed programme will be sent out later on.

ACAS Dorlisheim Brocante

a record year

Our ACAS Charity Association will this year have a bumper display as people  have been exceptionally generous.  We had to use 11 full car loads to transport it all to Dorlisheim.

On Sunday 14th June, the whole village of Dorlisheim is organising a massive brocante, with lots of food stands and fun rides for the children. You can wander round the village to your heart’s content, looking for the elusive plate or cup you would like to complete Grandma’s service !!  Or yet another gnome for your garden collection!

Why not decide to come over and visit after church?  The ACAS core team, Anny, Johanna, Maryline, Pauline, Victoria and the Youth Club members have worked very hard to set everything up and they would love to see you there.

Especially this year, we are extremely grateful to Diane and John Murray for letting us use their yard and outbuildings again.  Your Charity Association needs your support.
