Greetings St. Peter’s ‘Listening To Indigenous Voices’ Dialogue Series Participants,
As you know, we have been scheduled to meet for our second LTIV gathering at St. Peter’s Parish this Thursday evening (Oct. 13th).
Unfortunately our Elder, Bob Philips, has been experiencing back issues that has caused him great pain and at times immobility, including last night. He e-mailed me this morning to say that he would have to regretfully cancel his scheduled events this week, including out LTIV gathering. His presence is quite important to the spirit of our gathering, so rather than proceed without him it would be best to cancel our gathering this week and make up for it in January.
Here is how our new LTIV dialogue gathering schedule will look like in the coming months:
- Thursday, November 10 @ 7-9 pm (Session #5: Ties of Kinship)
- Thursday, December 8 @ 7-9 pm (Session #8: Dispossession, Dependency & Oppression)
- Thursday, January 12 @ 7-9 pm (Session #11: Re-Indigenization)
My apologies for this change in our schedule. I hope this new January time works for everyone.
Let’s keep Bob in our prayers for a quick recovery. He is confident… it is a small broken bone within his back that just needs to heal. But as many of us would know from back issues, it doesn’t take much to cause temporary pain and immobility.
Please keep me in your prayers as well… I will be going to Israel and Egypt next week with the Our Lady of Lourdes parish pilgrimage for 3 weeks… for a safe and blessed pilgrimage.
Blessings to each of you,
Trevor Scott, sj / Fr. Michael McGourty
