Opening Mass
Our theme for the year is “Growing In Mercy With the Son.” The scriptural connection of this year’s faith theme is from Matthew 18, the story of the unmerciful servant, which was read at our opening mass. In this parable Jesus says that God wants, no, expects us to forgive others from the heart and really mean it! We will focus on mercy all throughout this year in our interactions with one another.
We also celebrated our Grade Four students who received their Bibles and enjoyed listening to the beautiful singing voices of all of our staff and students - it was a joyful celebration to commemorate a new year!
“For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found.’ And they began to celebrate.”
Luke 15:24

RCIA
The Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults is the journey in which adults are welcomed into the Catholic Church. RCIA is made for adults who have never been baptized, those who have been baptized into a different denomination (ie Anglican or Lutheran) or adults who are looking to complete their sacraments of initiation (First Communion & Confirmation). If this is you or someone you know contact the parish office for more information.
For more information or questions regarding any of the above sacraments please contact Rebecca @ Rebecca.Sakowich@caedm.ca
