keeping God’s commandments; pray for help in following the Word of God; pray a prayer about being
sorry and returning to God; learn the Scripture story about John the Baptist and the Baptism of Jesus;
understand what it means to repent; explain how the Sacrament of Reconciliation is a Sacrament of

Full Communion in the Catholic Church Awaits You!
Are you interested in sharing your child’s faith journey? Are you an active member of St.
Patrick’s Parish but you haven’t received some of the Sacraments of Initiation? St. Patrick’s
RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults) invites you to join our small community and prepare
to receive the sacraments you may have missed as a child. The RCIA community meet each
Wednesday evening from 7:30 to 9:00 pm to deepen our relationship with Christ and the
Church through scripture, liturgy and community life. This is a prayerful and spirit filled time to
prepare your heart to receive the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist and enter
in to full communion with the Catholic Church at the Easter Vigil 2019. If you want more
information, please call the parish office at 403-254-6878 or email [email protected].
To honour the sacrifice and service of Canada’s military
by educating students and placing poppies on the
headstones of veterans every November.
No Stone Left Alone Memorial Foundation is, among the leading agencies,
dedicated to honouring and remembering Canada’s veterans. Our unique ceremony
provides students and youth with an authentic experience that creates knowledge,
understanding and appreciation of those who serve and of the sacrifice of Canada’s
fallen.
The final 100 days of the First World War — from 8 August to 11 November 1918 —
came to be known as the Hundred Days Offensive. The Canadian Corps' significant
contributions along the Western Front generated the name "Canada's Hundred Days."
During this time, Canadian and allied forces pushed the German Army from Amiens,
France, west to Mons, Belgium, in a series of battles — a drive that ended in German
surrender and the end of the war.
