Notes from the recent Finance Council Meeting The Finance Council met on Wednesday afternoon, and we discussed the following items. We reviewed our Financial Statements and noted that our Sunday collections are on track with what we budgeted for the first half of the year. Our income is almost keeping pace with our expenses. We noted that our power and energy costs are higher than we projected. In early September, when people have returned from their summer vacations, Fr. Doug will give an update to the parish of our Financial Situation. We expressed our appreciation for the people who support the parish so generously and we expressed our appreciation for the people who made the Garage Sale possible and a success! We made the followings decisions:

Sunday Collection – July 31: Meadow Lake $926.00 Green Lake $150.65. Rick Roth – a parishioner at Our Lady of Peace who offered his gifts to the Choir, KofC, and Parish Council and to various other Ministries has moved to Wilkie, SK. We thank Rick for his contributions to the parish, his friendship and his faith and we assure him of our prayers as he deals with his declining health. May the Spirit of the Lord be upon you, blessing you and granting you peace! Fr. Doug’s Retreat for Sisters (Mississauga, ON) – As you know I recently preached an 8-day retreat for a group of about 30 sisters from various religious communities who live and work in Southern Ontario. The theme was Prayer. I used the Gospel of St. Luke and the Synod dynamics of Listening, Participation and Mission to inform the reflections I offered. Each day had its own theme. The themes included: Welcoming, Being Shaped, Action, Personal Relationship, Suffering, Resurrection and New life and Receiving and Giving Thanks. The themes were developed in the two 45-minute daily conferences and in the extended homily that I offered during the daily mass. We had some activities in the evenings including Adoration, Taize Prayer, Reconciliation and on the last night we watched an inspirational movie. We celebrated mass every day and the sisters had the opportunity to chat with me for 30 minutes or so during the retreat. Just before the end of the retreat we celebrated the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick at the daily mass. The setting and the facilities were beautiful, the food was amazing, and the sisters were great examples of faith in action. All in all, it was a wonderful experience and I walked away with a sense of gratitude for what God was doing among us. A bonus was the discovery that some of the sisters had roots in Saskatchewan. 😊 The Pope’s Prayer Intention for August – For Small Businesses: We pray for small and medium sized businesses; in the midst of economic and social crisis, may they find ways to continue operating, and serving their communities.
