“I am praying for them…” John 17: 9
Prayer is the foundation of our Faith and the foundation of
Stewardship. Pray in good times and in bad.
Prayer is always the first best option in any
situation, not just the last resort. Pray for friends
and family and for those that don’t treat you
very well. Pray to give praise, to thank and to
ask God for help. Pray to see what God wants you to do
with the gifts He has given you.

ings, after the 8 am Mass. We are currently studying the
CATHOLICISM series by Robert Barron. We invite
you to join us for refreshments and exploration of God’s
Word in the parish auditorium.

Program
Mission-Discipleship-Service-Faith
"I see how graduates from the program have become more
involved in the life of the parish: be it on pastoral council
or one of the committees such as liturgy or social justice,
etc. I have witnessed their faith grow from before they
entered to the time of their graduation and how they be-
come more in tune with their faith. In
many ways you can see how they have
fallen in love with the Lord and with his
Church." - Fr. Stephen Bill, Resurrection
Parish, Regina.
One weekend per month from October
until June, Catholics who want to know,
love and serve Christ more deeply come together at Cam-
pion College in Regina. Are you ready to fall more deeply
in love with Jesus Christ and his Church? We are currently
accepting applications for the Fall intake of this three-year
program. For more information or to register, please con-
tact our Program Coordinator, Eric Gurash at 306-325-
1651 Ext 211 or email him at [email protected]

Little Flower Knitting Tree
Our annual Advent knitting tree is dependent on the yarn
we provide to our knitters. At this time our supply is
quite depleted which is a good sign that the yarn is being
put to good use. If you have yarn that you are not going
to be using or know of someone who does
have some hanging around the house,
please be encouraged to donate it to the
church. We have knitters both in the par-
ish and at College Park I Retirement Resi-
dence who enjoy knitting for us to pass
the time. All of the knitted items we re-
ceive are donated to those in need of warm articles of
clothing or blankets. Every year we are awed by the tal-
ent of our knitters and the love they show for those in
need.
Little Flower Fundraiser
Due to slow ticket sales, we have had to post-
pone this fundraiser. The cost of your ticket
will be refunded before and after weekend
Masses, in the Pamphlet Room. Please bring
your ticket with you. Alternate arrangements
can be made by calling Mike at 306-565-0083. Thank you
for your support.
