Consider this…
“Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.” Matthew 24:35
As beautiful as passing things can be, let us not allow these things to be the context and meaning of our lives. Let God be our goal and our guide. What is found in God can never be lost. But if God is not the foundation of our lives, be ready to be shaken.

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.
