Dear Parishioners,
I hope you have hobbies to follow during these rainy days. It is always good to be engaged in something that brings sparkles to your eyes!
On the church side I want to remind you about two important things.
First the synod. It is very exciting to know that Holy Father invites us all to the discussion table about the future of the Church. If you want to voice your opinion, look for more information in the bulletin! Get involved!
Second, On Friday, February 11 the Church celebrates the International Day of the Sick on the memorial of Our Lady of Lourdes. On this day we shall have a special devotion right after the Mass.
We will offer prayers for the sick, health care professionals and our own well-being before the Blessed Sacrament. At the end, those present in the church (and united spiritually online) may receive an individual blessing with the Blessed Sacrament as it is customary in the Sanctuary in Lourdes.
OUR LADY OF LOURDES PRAYER FOR HEALING
O ever-Immaculate Virgin, Mother of Mercy,
health of the sick, refuge of sinners,
comforter of the afflicted,
you know my wants, my troubles, my sufferings;
look with mercy on me.
By appearing in the Grotto of Lourdes,
you were pleased to make it a privileged Sanctuary,
whence you dispense your favours;
and already many sufferers have obtained
the cure of their infirmities, both spiritual and corporal.
I come, therefore, with complete confidence
to implore your maternal intercession.
Obtain, O loving Mother, the grant of my requests.
(mention your petition)
Through gratitude for your favours,
I will endeavour to imitate your virtues,
that I may one day share your glory.
Amen
Fr. Maciej

Ethical Concerns Related to Vaccines |
|
Catholics are invited to be vaccinated, both in keeping with the dictates of their conscience and in contributing to the common good by promoting the health and safety of others. All COVID-19 vaccines that are medically approved by the relevant health authorities may be licitly received by Catholics. Since there is currently no choice of vaccine being offered, Catholics in good conscience may receive the vaccine that is available and offered to them. Read more at rcav.org/coronavirus
|
|
TAX RECEIPTS will be available for pickup in the lobby of the church sometime this month. Please be patient.

Pope Francis has launched a Synod in Rome with the theme “For a synodal Church: communion, participation, mission.” This Synod is an opportunity for Catholics to dialogue and discern how the Holy Spirit is inviting us to journey together as a Church. This Synod has implications not only on the universal Church but also on our Archdiocese and our Parish.
To participate St. Clare's will host our first Conversation Circle session on Thursday, Feb. 17th, at 7:00 pm, in the Parish Centre. At these sessions we will be contemplating and discussing five questions printed on cards at the back of the church:
1. What helps or prevents you from being active in the Church’s mission? 2. What areas of the Church’s mission are we missing or neglecting? 3. What particular issues in the Church do we need to pay more attention to? 4. What particular issues in society do we need to pay more attention to? 5. How can we, the local Church, journey with our Indigenous sisters and brothers in a process of healing and reconciliation?
The feedback from these sessions will be combined, summarized and submitted to the archdiocese and eventually sent to the Vatican. For more information see the Archdiocese Synod page containing participation information, resources and workshop recordings. There are also forms on the site to submit individual and group contributions online if desired.
To participate, please RSVP to Louanne Richards at prepkids@shaw.ca by February 12th. If you have any questions, feel free to contact Louanne or Mike Blackstock at mikeblackstock@gmail.com. Note because of current Provincial health orders, proof of vaccination will be required to participate in person.
Your thoughts are very important. This is an opportunity to share what is on your heart and in your mind. All attendees will be treated with respect; feedback and contributions will be anonymous. Everyone is included. Please join us for this very important conversation. Encourage fallen away Catholics you may know, our youth, high school and older, to come and let their voices be heard. We need to hear from a diverse group of people…..ALL of YOU! Thank you!

The theme of this year’s 30th World Day of the Sick, “Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful” (Lk 6:36), makes us first turn our gaze towards God, who is “rich in mercy” (Eph 2:4).
Archbishop Miller will celebrate a live streamed Mass for World Day of the Sick on Friday, February 11 at noon. Pray with us on this day. For the live stream link or to learn more about this day, visit www.chabc.bc.ca/world-day-of-the-sick
