Charles Lewis, a journalist for 37 years, is the former religion editor for the National Post and now writes columns twice a month for the Catholic Register. He has been an anti-euthanasia activist for six years and has done myriad speeches, interviews and written numerous pieces on the subject. It is more important than ever that we become educated about euthanasia and the danger it presents to all of us – and not be seduced by the anti-life idea of “mercy killing ” in the St. Paul’s Room in the Centre.

All maturing adults (50+) are invited to the gathering on Thursday, January 12 from 1:15 – 3:00 p.m.  This will be a workshop on “Life story”.  Its aim is to facilitate reflection on one’s life story and to discover the treasures of wisdom and learning contained there.  Undertaken from a faith perspective, it is a search for evidence in your life that God has been with you and is still with you. The workshop will be facilitated by Sr. Mary Rose Marrin CSJ.  Plan to attend and bring a friend!

The Monthly Memorial Mass will take place on January 27, 2017 at 7:00 PM. in the church and will include the names of all deceased loved ones whose anniversaries fall both in December and January.
