Sponsors

The Refugee Committee along with Holy Spirit Parish Congregation is committed to time, prayer and financial support of a sponsored Refugee Family as they integrate into life in Canada.  The parish commits to providing basic financial support for essential life needs such as shelter and food for a period of 12 months or until the sponsored refugee becomes self sufficient - whichever comes first.

The Refugee Committee is responsible for making sure the necessary funds are in place, along with setting up a basic household, paying or helping to pay bills, food, clothing and assisting the refuge families as they learn our language, culture and simple tasks such as bus and telephone use in a foreign country.

Ask if God is calling you to serve Him by joining the Refugee Committee.  All new members are welcome.

            There are two opportunities for children to prepare to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation during the year. One session is from September to October and the other is from January to February. The children are led to understand that they are to respect all of God's creation, looking to Jesus to guide actions, love of neighbor and celebrating God's forgiveness. Our catechists provide a loving presence of Christ to children.

To register, download the following Word or PDF file, complete it and return it to Shirley at the office. Please feel free to register in person too if you would like.

 Parents should be prepared to stay with their children for the full hour of classes. The classes also include the following dates.

                      * September 30, 2010; October 7th and 14th

Reconciliation for children ( families too are invited) is celebrated on Saturday, October 16, 2010 at 9:30 am. until 10:30 am. for all. There are refreshments in the Hall afterwards.

For more information, please contact Shirley. ( hspirit_shirley@shaw.ca)

     Catechists guide our children (ages 7 or 8) in preparation for these sacraments in two separate sessions. One session is from September to November and the other session is from March to May. The celebration of these two sacraments is to take place after the celebration fo Reconciliation. Most often people reigster for all three sacraments at the same time but it is possible to complete Reconciliation but prepare for these two sacraments at a later time.

Reconciliation sessions begins in September but Confirmation/Communion sessions begin in October, 2010. There are five sessions on Thursday evenings.

Children's faith journey includes discovering the work of the Holy Spirit in their lives and how the Eucharist is central in their faith. Our catechists share their love for Jesus and children throughout the preparation time. For more information, please contact Shirley.

    Please remember registration for Reconciliation/Confirmation/First Eucharist is often completed at the same time even though the preparation times are not the same.

      Registration for the Fall session begins on August 6, 2010. There is a copy of the registration form below which you can complete and send in. The first class is on September 23, 2010 at 6:45 pm. in the parish Hall.

If you have any questions, please email hspirit_shirley@shaw.ca or phone.

To register for First Communion or Confirmation, please download the following Word or PDF file, complete it and return it to Shirley at the parish office.

God bless you and your family!

At a critical time in the history of the Diocese of Saskatoon we have been called together to invest in an initiative that will develop and strengthen the faith life of the entire diocese.  The new Holy Family Cathedral and Catholic Pastoral Centre will be a sign of growth and renewal for our entire diocesan family and will have an impact not only today but for generations to come.  We are privileged to be part of it.  We are - Uniting in Faith!

Dear Friends in Christ,

I invite you to take a personal role in this campaign effort as a forward thinker and a leader committed to our future as a faith community. Please contemplate your time and talents and consider sharing these with your faith community during this historic opportunity of visioning and building for tomorrow.

-Bishop Albert
