Faith Fact Friday
We have been learning about St Francis of Assisi all year and now that it is Spring, we wanted to remind you that St Francis is the Patron Saint of Ecology. He was someone who cherished and loved everything in nature. At St. Francis, we are called to take care of our earth, continue to be good stewards of the earth and take care of all the animals.

Family Violence Info Line
As part of our family violence prevention campaign efforts, I’d like to share these short videos (Man 1, Man 2, Man 3, 30 second testimonial and 60 second testimonial) intended to provoke hope and promote awareness that reaching out can make a difference. The videos, which will be shared on Your Alberta social media, are based on a testimonial from an Albertan who engaged in abusive behaviours and wanted to change.
“I had physically abused my ex-girlfriend – that’s why she left me. The way my life was going, I needed new direction. I couldn’t keep a partner, I couldn’t keep jobs. … I wasn’t a happy person.”
He reached out for help and was able to make positive changes in his life.
“I’ve made progress.”

Test Alert across Alberta
Upcoming Test Alert across the province
Subject: Test Alert Across Alberta – Wednesday, May 8, 2024, at 1:55 p.m.
Albertans can receive messages about life-threatening emergencies, such as tornadoes, wildfires, floods, or Amber Alerts, directly to their cell phones. This wireless public alerting is a national initiative that works with the Alberta Emergency Alert system to send potentially life-saving emergency instructions to all connected/compatible cell phones in the threatened community.
On Wednesday, May 8, 2024, at 1:55 p.m., the National Public Alerting System will send a test alert across Alberta to all broadcast platforms. During the test, an alert will go off followed by a text message letting cell phone users know the sound is part of a test and there is no need for concern.
Alberta’s government has created the Be Prepared program to support this work. Watch this 1-minute video and visit alberta.ca/CommunityPrep for resources to help.
Wireless public alerts are delivered directly to compatible cell phones that are connected to an LTE network within an area affected by a disaster or emergency. Federal laws require these alerts, so it is not possible for Canadians to opt out of receiving life-saving messages directly to their cell phones. Find out if your cell phone is compatible by checking with your cell phone provider or online at www.alertready.ca.

If you have questions about the test alert, or the Alberta Emergency Alert program, please email Alberta.Emergency.Alert@gov.ab.ca.
