Fastathon Raises Money for Haiti Children

Last updated on March 27, 2013
About 100 students from Miller and Leboldus Catholic High Schools showed up at Resurrection Church, March 23, looking non-the-worse for wear but hungry after going without food for 24 hours. The activity, labelled a fastathon, included a sleep over with teacher supervision all to raise money for a Haiti orphanage. “The four Regina Catholic high schools gave a 10-year commitment to support Haiti children and this is the third year of the project that now has raised over $60,000.00,” said Miles Meyers Regina Catholic School Division’s Coordinator for Religious Education.

Pope Frances` Homily for Palm Sunday

Last updated on March 24, 2013
Dear Brothers and Sisters; Year after year the Gospel passage for Palm Sunday relates to us Jesus' entry into Jerusalem. Together with his disciples and a growing throng of pilgrims, he ascended from the plain of Galilee to the Holy City. Like steps in this ascent, the evangelists have transmitted three of Jesus' announcements of his passion, using this at the same time to sketch the interior ascent that was also occurring in this pilgrimage. Jesus is on his way to the temple -- toward the place where God, as Deuteronomy says, desired to "establish the dwelling" of his name (cf. Read More

A Profound Experience

Last updated on March 23, 2013
Father Stephen Bill’s mass for Miller and Leboldus High Schools students held March 22 at Resurrection was one of the more meaningful I’ve attended in recent years. I mean, they’re all meaningful but this one was a little different. The difference occurred prior to and at the Transubstantiation. Just before he spoke the words that would transform the bread and wine into the body and blood of Christ he departed from the script and told the students what is about to happen; that the bread and wine will in fact be transformed into the real presence of Christ on the Altar.

Well, that didn’t take long did it?

He was hardly wearing the white robes when the nay sayers in Argentina had something critical to say about him. They complained he didn’t do enough or speak out enough when the military took over that country and began a campaign of eliminating anyone who spoke against them. It was called the time of the disappearing, when thousands were arrested and simply disappeared. Read More

Generations Unite

When we first started dreaming about the "My Generation" Youth rally, in the Fall, it was our hope that many generations would be energized and renwed by the enthusiasm of our young people. They did not disappoint!  Not only did several generations work together to make it happen, several generations also got to have a front row seat to the celebration led by the young people. The observations below, came from a university student, who offered their services as a leader at the My Gen Rally:

Archbishop Bohan at Easter Vigil

My dear friends, there is a little book that tells Bishops how they are to celebrate the liturgy the great feast days of the year. It tells me that this night is an ancient tradition in the Church.“It is a night of vigil for the Lord.”It is“the memorial of the holy night of Christ’s resurrection.”So it is clearly a night of great holiness, of great mystery, and of very deep meaning for us. We find answers to deep questions here tonight. We encounter the One who has the power to save us from all that darkness that can weigh down upon us from...

This should lift your spirits a bit

Last week was full of stories of bombings, bullying, suicide deaths, a fertilizer plant destroying almost an entire community and many other stories that might lead one to believe the world has gone mad. And on top of all that we’re a month into Spring but you’d never know that by looking out the window to see the snow pack still on the yards and fields. Some farmers are getting anxious about seeding especially in the Southwest where they usually start seeding in the last week of April and summer sports are going to have a short season.
