Our Lady of Peace Take-Out Fall Supper – October 23, 2022 To ensure the health and wellbeing of our parishioners the Finance Council decided that this year our Fall Supper would be a Takeout event. We need people to donate food, to prepare food, kitchen workers and to help with clean up. Signup Sheets will be available at the back of the Church. The menu choices/order form will be coming next weekend. Spread the word. To place your order, call the parish office at (306) 236-5122 starting October 11 from 9:00 am – 1:00 pm Tuesday to Friday. If there is no answer or the phone is busy, please leave a message and we will call you back. For parishioners who are homebound we will help arrange delivery to you. Enjoy the blessings of the Fall Season of Creation. Sacramental Preparation – If your child has not yet prepared for and celebrated the sacrament of reconciliation, please register your child by completing the registration forms now available. You will be required to take part in a parent meeting where you will receive materials for the preparation and formation of your child. The Church reminds us that parents are the first teachers of their children and bear the responsibility for preparing their children for the celebration of the sacraments. It is also imperative that the parents and the children physically take part in the Sunday liturgy as frequently as possible. On the one hand they belong to this faith community and on the other they will learn more about Jesus Christ and their faith by taking part in the faith life of the community. Bishop’s Annual Appeal – The Bishop’s Annual Appeal will begin the weekend of October 16, 2022 and the diocese needs our support. It directs the many programs and ministries that impact the lives of individuals and families. The theme of this year’s appeal is “Walking Together in Hope”. Please support the Bishop’s Annual Appeal. The Appeal is directed at enabling the Bishop, through various diocesan programs, to fulfill the mission of the Church. It is one of the many ways in which, as responsible members of God’s family, we can share in the mission of spreading the Good News. Rosary and Tea – 3:00 pm Monday-Friday throughout October – October is traditionally the month when we as Catholics make a special effort to pray the rosary every day. This year in the parish we will gather at 3:00 pm Monday to Friday to pray the rosary. Following the rosary, you are invited to stay for a cup of tea and a snack and some visiting. Let us gather to pray and to visit with one another.

The following information is taken from the website: https://www.canada.ca/en/canadian-heritage/campaigns/national-day-truth-reconciliation.html “Each year, September 30 marks the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. The day honours the children who never returned home and Survivors of residential schools, as well as their families and communities. Public commemoration of the tragic and painful history and ongoing impacts of residential schools is a vital component of the reconciliation process. This federal statutory holiday was created through legislative amendment made by Parliament. Wear orange Both the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and Orange Shirt Day take place on September 30. Orange Shirt Day is an Indigenous-led grassroots commemorative day intended to raise awareness of the individual, family and community inter-generational impacts of residential schools, and to promote the concept of “Every Child Matters”. The orange shirt is a symbol of the stripping away of culture, freedom and self-esteem experienced by Indigenous children over generations. On September 30, we encourage all Canadians to wear orange to honour the thousands of Survivors of residential schools.” Catholic Health Association – If you are interested in the wellbeing of the human person, you may be interested in the Annual Catholic Health Conference which will take place in Saskatoon on October 27 – 28. The Conference entitled “Hospitality: The Link That Builds Community”, will feature various speakers and information that help us to appreciate the need to look at our health as more than a physical reality.
