Lorrain Council 1531 of Pembroke. “It’s a great group of guys.” On October 2, 1881, Father Michael J. McGivney called together a group of men to a church basement in New Haven, Connecticut. At that gathering, a pledge was made to form a fraternal order based on their devotion to their country, families and faith. A life insurance program was established by the founders to provide for widows and orphans of deceased members, which still exists to this day. Those wishing to join the KofC must be 18 years of age and be practicing Roman Catholics in union with the Holy See. Prospective applicants must accept the teaching authority of the Catholic Church on matters of faith and morals, strive to live in accordance with the Our Lady of Guadalupe celebration on January 26, 2012, featuring the Icon and the Knights of Columbus precepts of the Church, and be in good standing in the newly formed choir.

Declining numbers of priests and changing demographics are creating challenges when it comes to providing ordained ministry to all of the 96 parishes across the diocese. Bishop Donald Bolen and diocesan leaders are therefore seeking input through a series of deanery and parish meetings about both the challenges and the blessings being experienced in the diocese, and to ask a number of questions seeking suggestions and feedback to creatively address the reality that fewer priests are available to serve in the diocese. “I would ask the diocese to engage in a creative reflection process, faithful to the Church, in asking where the Spirit might be leading us,” said Bolen, noting the importance of ordained ministry to Catholics as Eucharistic people. “We do a great deal of work in vocations – Priests serving across the diocese of Saskatoon gathered with the bishop at the start of Holy Week April 18 to celebrate the Chrism Mass, along but what more could we do to enhance that with parish representatives who came to collect the sacred oils to be used in sacraments in the year ahead.

  • Sixth Annual Retreat Provides Spiritual Growth in the Year of Faith
    February 2013 Sixth annual retreat provides spiritual growth in the Year of Faith The hectic pace of life can pose significant challenges for all Roman Catholics striving to uphold their family and work responsibilities, while remaining vigilant in adhering to the teachings of Jesus Christ in their daily lives. For those who require a time of solace, a religious retreat may be the prime opportunity to reaffirm their faith. The sixth annual Men’s/Women’s Retreat was held this past January 25–27 and February 8–10 respectively at the Marguerite Centre in Pembroke. The weekend- long men’s event was hosted by Father Denis Lemieux and David Guzman, and the women’s event by Father Tom Zoeller and Renée Sylvain, all from the Madonna House Apostolate in Combermere. Group discussions, music and prayer are just some of the activities in which attendees participated. “The objective is to provide a weekend of spiritual growth and reflection,” says Mark Reilander, coordinator of the men’s retreat. “It’s a chance for both men and women to get away from the busy work world and home duties in order to grow spiritually.” “The weekend entailed mass and talks given by the team leaders,” says Joyce Reilander, who coordinates the women’s retreat. “There is also quiet time in the chapel for people to reflect on the subject matters that have been given. The sacrament of reconciliation are also made available. For some, it’s a chance to The 2013 retreat guest speakers: Father Denis Lemieux, left, for the men’s retreat, refocus.
