At Maryholme...
Sisters in Spirit Vigil
This past Sunday we held our annual Naming Ceremony to honour missing and murdered Aboriginal women in Canada. It was a meaningful and moving vigil during which the participants placed stones
on the cairn.
Click here to read and listen to the stories of the women commemorated by some of these stones.
International Day to End Poverty
Although we mark October 17th as the day
to end poverty, please remember everyday
that "peace begins when the hungry are fed"...
On the Plight of the Refugees
"Lord protect all refugees in their travels
May they find a friend in me
And so make me worthy
Of the refuge I have found in you.
Amen."
from A Moment for Grace, A Prayer for Refugees
