This is Sr. Evelyn coming to you from the Discernment House. We are trying something new, and are having a Personal History Discernment weekend in May this year. For those of you who have had difficulty getting to the other ones between assignments, papers, exams, etc perhaps this one might work. If you have already made this retreat please feel free to pass it on to anyone you know who may be interested or might find this helpful. 

The Personal History weekend is a great opportunity to look at your own personal life; your relationships with yourself, others, the Church and God, the events etc which have fashioned you into who you are today. Through a process of journaling you will come to discern how God is calling you in your faith journey with Him. It is a great weekend to bring together all your life experiences and look at how you can move forward with it into the future. If you are trying to discover how God has always been a part of your life and how he is calling you to respond to His Will at this time I encourage you to come to this weekend. 


Here is the specific info. 
When: Friday, May 14th (beginning at 7:00 pm) to Sunday, May 16th (ending with noon meal.) 
Where: 851 University Drive, Saskatoon 
Cost: Recommended offering $40.00 (This includes accommodations, meals, and retreat) 
Please invite any friends you think may be interested. 

It would be greatly appreciated if you could respond to this email whether or not you are able to come, as I will be following up those I have not heard from with a phone call. Hope you can make it! It is always a great time! 

If you have any questions we can be reached at 244-0726 Sr. Evelyn/Sr. Mary Jane. If there is no answer just leave a message and one of us will get back to you asap. 

P.S. Goodluck with exams/work and have a blessed Easter season! 

Peace in Christ,

-Sr. Evelyn

Hey Everyone,

I just wanted to post a link to a video over at salt and light tv of a 30 minute interview of our soon to be ordained Bishop Bolen! Get to know how he grew up, where he studied, and what he hopes for in coming here to the Diocese of Saskatoon! 

Above all else, pray for Him and for us that the Spirit may guide Him in leading us ever closer to our God in every moment of our lives. If you didn't get a ticket to the ordination, don't fret! The ENTIRE ordination is being streamed online at http://www.saltandlighttv.org Also, if you are free this Wednesday night at 7 PM, come to St. Paul's Cathedral for an ecumenical prayer service with Bishop Elect and many other faithful from many different christian communities! It looks to be a great evening!

And lastly, please comment below with your prayers, greetings, and desires that you would like to pass on to Bishop Bolen. I will make sure that he gets a chance to read them! 

Peace!

On Saturday March 13th we are heading to Table Mountain to go tubing, skiing or snowboarding down the hill. We will be meeting at St. Michaels at 10:30am and heading out shortly after.

For those of you who wish to ski or snowboard, feel free to do so, though you are not allowed to bring your own skies or boards for lack of space (ski or snowboard boots are allowed). We should arrive back at St. Michaels around 7pm (roughly). The cost is $5 per person to help cover the cost of gas; however you are responsible for paying your way into the facility and any rentals you may require (see below for prices). On the way home we will be stopping in North Battleford for supper. So bring a few extra bucks for supper and any snacks you may want. 

As it stands we have limited seating available, so if you want to come, book your spot early. The registration deadline is midnight, March 11th, so please call Matthew at 374 - 7779 or Colm Leyne at 242-1500 if you plan on attending. You will also need a permission form which can download here or talk to your local youth minister. If you don't hand in your permission form and $5 by 10:30am on Saturday March 13th you will not be able to attend.
