PRAYER MINISTRY

Please pray for the needs of the sick

of our parish, the homebound, those

in nursing homes and those who care

for them, especially: Marlene Baker,

Alfred Boehme, Anton & Catherine

Fahlman, John Fahlman, Fr. Marcel George, Andrew

Helmeczi, Dean Hutchence, Mary Kish, Fr. Ken Koep,

Thomas & Theresa Periyilkatte, Hans Reisinger, Claudia

Sali, Fr. Art Vandendriessche, Kathleen Wingerter and

Louise Wingerter. Please also, keep in your prayers all

who are grieving the death of a loved one. “The harvest is rich,” Jesus tells the seventy-two

in today’s Gospel, “but the workers are few.”

The situation is the same today. How can I help

with God’s harvest? Am I called into the field?

Am I one who could provide food or shelter or

wages to those who toil in the fields of the

Lord?

Vocation View

“The harvest is rich but the workers are few: therefore

ask the harvest-master to send workers to his harvest.”

Pray for vocations. Depend on God’s providence. (Luke 10:1-9)

Food Drive

Donations of food will be collected the weekend

of July 9th/10th for two families in our parish,

Marian Centre and Visitation House. At the pre-

sent time four families are recipients. All contributions

are welcome. Thank you for sharing your treasure with

those around you. Please be mindful that we do not accept packaging that

has been opened or items that are partially used.

Are you interested in the Catholic Faith? This fall we will begin a new journey in faith to share the

richness of the Catholic Church and our parish

family. We invite you to learn what the

Church teaches in an open and welcoming environment.

These sessions also are opportunities for you to ask those

perplexing and difficult questions you may have about the

Church. These gatherings are for inquirers and are open

to people who are unbaptized, as well as those who are

baptized Christians from other denominations, and for

Catholics who were baptized but did not receive the sacra-

ments on Confirmation and/or Eucharist. For more infor-

mation please contact Father Jose at 306-522-8583.

Assisted Suicide and Euthanasia

Think About It

Parliament passed a motion in 2014 calling for a pan-

Canadian palliative and end-of-life care strategy

“ensuring all Canadians have access to high quality

home-based end-of-life care.” Our nations needs to act

on this so that all Canadians have timely access to qual-

ity palliative care.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

The absolute ban on assisted suicide and euthanasia is

the norm in all but a handful of countries. Where these

practices have been allowed, the evidence shows that

safeguards simply do not work, or become struck down

over time by higher courts.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Many doctors and other health professionals who want

nothing to do with killing their patients may feel forced

to leave the profession. Young adults considering a

medical profession may choose another path if they are

expected to become killers instead of healers.

Divine Mercy Kit

We have a sign-up sheet at the back of

the church for families who wish to take

home the travelling Divine Mercy Kit.

This kit has been put together by the Eu-

charistic Apostles of divine Mercy in

Canada. Families are encouraged to take

the kit home for a week and pray with it.

Please return it the following Saturday so

the next family on the list may take it

home.
