Weekly Reflection
May we be Christ’s joyful witnesses to the ends of the earth.
On this Solemnity of the Ascension, we recall with praise what Jesus has done for us by his suffering, death, and resurrection. We are called to not to simply meditate on these events, but to bring the fruits of our prayer into the world as his witnesses. This is the task of the Church—to preach the Gospel to all nations— and we participate in this individually by living and proclaiming our faith within our own spheres of influ- ence. In the first reading, the author tells Theophilius that is his first book he dealt with all that Jesus was taken up from (them) into heaven. In the second reading, Paul greets the Ephesians, blesses them and offers a prayer that they might have knowledge of Christ and the hope he offers. In the Gospel, Jesus ascends to heaven be- fore the disciples. They return to Jerusalem with great joy, praising God.
Reminder!
A reminder to all Parishioners not to be wandering in the school before or after the Mass. There should not be anyone entering any other sections of the school than the gym.
Mass Schedule

Pro Life Alberta
Pro-Life Alberta is asking that people let Danielle Smith know that we agree with her stance on getting pa- rental consent on minor medical procedures. If medical procedures performed on minors require the consent of a parent or guardian, why is it different when it comes to abortion? Pro-Life Alberta wants to encourage Premier Smith to take the next step. Let’s make sure that parental consent is required for every medical decision involving minors, including abortion. Please e-mail Premier Smith at premier@gov.ab.ca your support for this movement.
