No Confessions
Parish Office / Bureau Paroissial
Office Hours:
Monday—Thursday
9am to 12 noon…...1 pm to 4pm
In the Collect for today’s Mass, we pray
that we might experience the constant joy of being
devoted to God, the one who gives us all that is
good. He provides the “good” things like cherished
relationships, talented minds and bodies, and
abundant possessions and wealth. One catalyst for
our devotion comes through recognizing that God is
the source of these gifts. Gratitude prompts the
desire to share our gifts and thus experience what
we ask for in the Collect today, the “full and lasting
happiness to serve with constancy”. Stewardship is
to walk the road of joy.
Stewardship Office, The Archdiocese of Winnipeg,
Saturday 11:30 to 12 noon

At least one party must be a registered
member of the parish.
Minimum 6 months notification.
Mandatory marriage preparation course.

33rd Sunday in Ordinary Time
33e dimanche du temps ordinaire
November 17, 2013
33rd Sunday in Ordinary
Time: We must not let distractions of the
world’s chaos and disorder dispel God’s
perfect plan of salvation. Today’s readings
show us that even in a world gone mad, we
are still empowered to bring God’s order to
any situation. Whether it is by our behavior,
our words or our presence, believers have
been given the power to share God’s message no matter
where we find ourselves.
33e dimanche du temps ordinaire:
La fin
du monde, vraiment? Les épreuves de nos vies ne sont pas la
fin de tout. Quand nous nous sentons embourbés dans les
problèmes ou les catastrophes, restent les paroles de Jésus
qui nous assurent qu’après tout cela, la vie peut jaillir à
nouveau. Cette certitude nous aide à tenir bon.
Next Sunday’s
readings are:
Les lectures pour
dimanche prochain:
2 Samuel 5:1-3
Colossians 1:12-20
Luke 23:35-43
2 Samuel 5, 1-3
Colossiens 1, 12-20
Luc 23, 35-43
