Easter Bible Study
Alleluia! As St. Augustine noted, we are an Easter people, and alleluia is our song. The Word of God initiates us and sustains us in being an Easter people by hearing the story of our redemption. The Easter season gives us an opportunity to reflect upon the mystery of Jesus as savior of the world, a mystery that forms us into his disciples of the resurrection.
Please join us this Easter season as we delve more deeply into this saving story in an Easter Bible Study. We will pray with, reflect upon, and learn from the Sunday lectionary texts Sundays at 10:00 am in the Papal Suite of the Saint Kateri Student Centre. We will begin on April 27 and end on June 8. The lectionary texts will be provided, but you are encouraged to bring your own Bible if you have one.
So celebrate this Easter by coming to join us in our study of the Bible, the saving story of Jesus the Lord!

Synodal Gathering: Forward Together in Christ

The goal is to engage in prayerful listening and thoughtful sharing, rather than creating action plans. Parishioners should read the document beforehand to better participate in the guided small-group discussions, reflecting on key themes and how they resonate personally and as a community.
We will be distributing the booklet the weekend of March 8/9. Please RSVP below, so we have an idea of how many to expect.

Prayer for Victims of Abuse
Praise to you, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
source of all consolation and hope.
By your Sons’s dying and rising
he remains our light in every darkness,
our strength and every weakness. Be the refuge and guardian
of all who suffered from abuse and violence.
Comfort them and send them healing
for their wounds of body, mind, and spirit.
Rescue them from bitterness and shame
and refresh them with your love.
Heal the brokeness in all victims of abuse
and revive the spirits of all who lament this sin.
Help us to follow Jesus
in drawing good from evil, life from death.
Make us one with you in your love for justice
as we deepen our respect
for the dignity of every human life.
Giver of peace, make us one
in celebrating your praise,
both now and forever. Amen.
