MESSAGE FROM BISHOP CORRIVEAU:
The National Office of
Development & Peace is accepting donations to support humanitarian aid to
the people of Myanmar following the devastating cyclones which have inflicted
that nation. They can channel
assistance immediately into Myanmar. “Please keep our suffering brothers and sisters in prayer.” 49TH
INTERNATIONAL EUCHARISTIC CONGRESS:
Envelopes for donations are attached to the bulletin or at the entrance
of the church for next week’s donation to the 2008 International Eucharistic
Congress.
Young people welcomed the symbolic Ark of the New Covenant during the 2006 Youth Summit. Their mission was to
accompany the Ark and attract and unite people of all generations around Jesus
Christ. The Ark of the New Covenant’s name originates in the Bible. It recalls the
original Covenant: the spiritual experience of the people Israel and their
pact with God given through Moses on Mount Sinai. Our donations offer unity, even at a distance. We hope and pray that through this Quebec event, the Holy
Spirit will lead us to a greater awareness of the presence and action of Jesus
in the Eucharist. CWL Members Our Spring Retreat
