I am confident that God’s work will continue through the CCO for many years to come.” -The Rt. Hon. Stephen Harper, P.C., M.P., Prime Minister of Canada “With teams located on eleven campuses throughout the country, CCO can take pride in the diversity and strength of its organization...This significant anniversary is an opportunity for mem- bers to share their experiences as well as commemorate the achievements made by others.” -The Hon. Brad Wall, Premier of Saskatchewan “This Anniversary is a time to give thanks to God for the significant contribution you have made to the Church in Canada. It is also a providential occasion, which coincides with the beginning of the pontificate of Pope Francis, to look forward to a future where your joyful witness to the faith will continue to bear much fruit, often in new fields into which the Lord may be guiding you.” -J. Michael Miller, CSB, Archbishop of Vancouver “I have been edified by the zeal of the men and women who guide CCO as well as those who benefit from its ministries on campuses, at Rise Up, in Impact! Canada sessions and on mission trips. May the past be but a prelude to all that is yet to come.” -Terrence Prendergast, S.J.

  • A Way of Life for Young Catholics
    1 A WAY OF LIFE FOR YOUNG CATHOLICS Fr Stephen Wang This Way of Life is written for young Catholics who want to live their faith more deeply but are not sure what steps to take. It contains practical, down-to-earth advice on all sorts of issues that come up in the lives of young Catholics, whether those issues are spiritual (‘How to pray’, ‘How to go to confession’) or moral (‘How to deal with alcohol and drugs’, ‘How far can I go with my boyfriend or girlfriend?’) or emotional (‘How to stop worrying’, ‘How to cope with suffering’) or vocational (‘How to discover my vocation’, ‘How to find a good husband or wife’). This booklet is not for experts, but for ordinary young people who have been touched by God in some way but are not sure how to respond. It will be especially helpful for older confirmation candidates, for students at college and university, and for young adults who are hoping to learn more about their faith and put it into practice in the reality of their daily lives. Fr Stephen Wang is a priest in the Diocese of Westminster. He has worked in parish ministry and seminary formation, and is currently Senior University Chaplain in his Diocese. He is the author of How to Discover Your Vocation and The New Evangelisation. [This booklet is published by the Catholic Truth Society. It is used here with permission from the author.

  • BE OUR GUEST Projects Sought for SPLASH Bartow
    FRIDAY June 15, 2018 BARTOW COUNTY’S ONLY DAILY NEWSPAPER 75 CENTS BE OUR GUEST Projects sought for SPLASH Bartow BY MARIE NESMITH [email protected] Striving to provide a “helping hand” across the county, SPLASH Bartow organizers are seeking service projects for the local mis- sion effort July 10 to 13. An acronym of Show People Love and Share Him, SPLASH Bartow will feature 400 middle-and high-school students from about 35 churches partaking in various projects ranging from con- ducting Backyard Bible Clubs to performing construction and yard maintenance tasks at residences and nonprofits. “The goal of SPLASH Bartow is to teach teenagers to serve for a lifetime — that they’re not the center of the universe ... and they were created to serve over a lifetime,” said the Rev. David Franklin, who serves as the SPLASH Bartow director and the as- sociational missionary for Bartow Baptist Association. “So we want them to spend a lifetime of looking how to bless their com- munity, wherever they go in life to be a giver and not a taker. “[For SPLASH Bartow], we’re looking for projects, like build- ing handicap ramps, cleaning up yards, painting houses, washing houses. We’ve got projects with senior adults where you go in and change light bulbs — things that people may not be able to do for themselves or they find themselves in a situation where they just need a helping hand. A group of teenagers under adult supervision can come in and help in basically a two day or less period of time.” To fill out a project request form, area residents are urged to visit splashbartow.org.

  • Diocesan World Youth Day Details Have Been Released
    PRESS RELEASE Diocesan World Youth Day Details have been released The April 13 event includes a 3 km procession MONTREAL, APRIL 11, 2019 – An estimated 1,500 people – more than half of whom will be millennials or younger – are expected at the closing celebration of World Youth Day on April 13 at Mary Queen of the World Cathedral, organized by the Archdiocese of Montreal. Last year, more than 1,700 participated in the various activities held over the seven-hour event; with 10,000 followers on social media. The 34th celebration of World Youth Day in Montreal begins with a festival at noon, followed by a 3 km outdoor procession through downtown streets, capped by a celebration at the cathedral with Archbishop Christian Lépine. Some 300 young people are putting together this event along with more than 50 local groups. This year’s theme is “Amen,” which invites youth to face the challenges confronting them, especially when facing the fundamental choices that impact who they will be and what they will do in this world. Do not be afraid to say YES, to believe, to get involved: “Saying “yes” to the Lord is daring to embrace life as it comes, with all its uncertainty, its lowliness and, often, with all its contradictions and its trivialities.” (Pope Francis, prayer vigil with youth at World Youth Day, Panama, 2019) World Youth Day was launched by Pope John Paul II in 1985 – coinciding with the United Nations International Year of the Youth – as an initiative to focus the world’s attention each year on youth and to help youth to focus on being a positive force in the world with the help of faith.
