“A World Food Day has been promoted by the Food and Agriculture Organization since 1981. The Church is concerned about the issue of hunger in the world, remember the words of the Son of Man on the last judgment of the nations, ‘… I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink…’ (Matthew 25:35)” Ordo, CCCB.
We take the opportunity to reflect on the gift of food. What is our relationship with food? How have we honoured the gift of it? Do we share food with others especially those in need? Do we set aside the proper time to have meals together as a family or as friends?
Watch this video on World Food Day 2022 (Oct. 16).

Consider this…
“Do not work for the food that perishes, but for the food that endures for eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For it is on him that God the Father has set his seal.” John 6:27
We may often think that we can live without daily prayer as long as we do not miss a meal. While we feed our bodies for nourishment, never lose sight of the spiritual food that nourishes our souls. With a right relationship with God, we will have a proper relationship with food.

| TOGETHER IN ACTION (TIA) |
+ |
|
|
For over 10 years, the Together in Action goal has been set at $2 million. In 2021, the TIA goal was reduced by 30% due to the pandemic, bringing it to $1.4 million.
The goal of this year's TIA is $2 million as we commit to raise $600,000 each year over the next 5 years for the Indigenous Reconciliation Fund, as our contribution to the $30-Million National Financial Pledge of the Bishops of Canada. Together as the Diocese, we unite our efforts in working with the Indigenous Peoples in the pursuit of truth, justice, healing, and reconciliation.

| POPE'S PRAYER INTENTION |
+ |
|
|
Each year, the Holy Father asks for our prayers for a specific intention each month. You are invited to answer the Holy Father's request and to join with many people worldwide in praying for this intention each month. From time to time, the Holy Father may add a second prayer intention related to current events or urgent needs, like disaster relief. The second prayer request will help mobilize prayer and action related to the urgent situation.
