Sacrament of Reconciliation for the first time. From left to right (back row):
Sean, Malita, Maja, Braxton, Ethan; (front row): Noah, Colton, Ariston, Brady,
Benjamin, Marisa, Amina, Nia, Gabriel, Ryleigh, Heder, and Heidy. (Liam is

Light of Mine” with hand motions.
Following the celebration, Br.

children with a Certificate, an
“Act of Contrition” cross-
shaped hanging, and a
wearable glow-in-the-dark
keepsake as a reminder of
spiritual light vs darkness.
Congratulations to all.

Stewardship Reflection 6th Sunday in Ordinary Time - February 12, 2017
“For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of
the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the
kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 5:20
The scribes and Pharisees lived according to the letter of
the law and elevated themselves above others. Jesus is
clear – it’s the love that you have that will get you to
heaven. Simply following church rules out of obligation
does not put you on the path to heaven.
FINDING GOD IN THE DARK Film Series facilitated by Sister Johanna Jonker
Date: This Wednesday, February 15th at 1 p.m.
Film: The Drop Box The Drop Box is an award-winning documentary that
portrays vividly the call to compassionate action on
behalf of orphans. It’s a heartbreaking and heartwarming
story of loss, love and life!
Feedback re this film series from Jo Henry:
“Are you feeling the doldrums of mid-winter blues? I
started to attend the movie group last year and found a
comfortable and stimulating way to fill these somewhat
boring days of late winter. Finding God in the Dark is a
way of discovering God working in seemingly strange
circumstances. The films force one to think of the
meaning of life and that God’s ways are not always our
ways. The discussion following the movie is led by a
lovely person of compassion and insight, Sister Johanna. I
love her and the way in which we share and gain spiritual
insight. All are welcome, so do come and join us.

SAINTS F.A.I.T.H. ( Food Aid Initiative To Help Project)
Thank you for your participation in making this year's
Development & Peace/ Canada Food Grains Bank garden
project a great success. The partnership of St. Benedict's
Monastery with the parishes of Holy Redeemer, St.
Anthony's and St. Theresa's is alive and well.
We made $9100 from produce sales and donations. With
4x matching CIDA funding that works out to $45,500 for
third world food aid. In addition, we delivered 4400 lbs of
produce to Winnipeg Harvest and local soup kitchens.
Our Development & Peace 2016 contribution at Canada
Foodgrains Bank is being used for food aid to drought
ravaged Ethiopia. We just finished a $670,000 program
supplying corn, bean, lentils, protein mix, and vegetable
oil distributed through the Diocese of Ethiopia.
The garden area has been ploughed and is ready to plant
in spring 2017.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. (Steve Gadient)
