  • October 2019
    October 2019 Celebrating the newest Deacon in our diocese This past August, family, friends and clergy gathered at St. Francis Xavier Parish in Renfrew to witness the ordination of Michael Coyne of Renfrew to the Transitional Diaconate. The son of Donald and Eleonore Coyne, he was born in North Bay, where he lived for only 6 years whereupon his family relocated to Carleton Place. In due course, his family would move to his father’s ancestral birthplace of Renfrew. Deacon Coyne had been active in his faith via the local parish in Carleton Place. “I was an altar server at St. Mary’s Church in Carleton Place for many years growing up,” said Deacon Coyne. Deacon Coyne noted that parish priest, Father Peter Murphy, was a positive force in his life. “Father Murphy was a close friend to the family, and he was a frequent guest at our home for meals. He had a large personality and for me that was fascinating to observe as a child. I considered Father Murphy to be a mentor to me. When I was a boy he was always available to answer my questions about what it was like to be a priest.” Call to faith From an early age, Deacon Coyne felt the pull to something greater beyond the superficial reality of life. “I believe that I have always felt to some degree, even as a child, a call to something beyond what I was physically experiencing in the world around me,” said Deacon Coyne. “This feeling was the catalyst that first impelled me to seek out the advice of my pastor to understand what a call to priesthood meant.

  • The Circle of Grace: the Communion of Saints
    Circle of Grace Safe Environment Training Grade 9 – Lesson Plan Philosophy What is a Circle of Grace? The Catholic Church teaches that God has created each of us as unique and special. Genesis 1:27 tells us that we are created “male and female in God’s image” and that God saw this as “very good.” In that goodness, we are meant to respect ourselves and everyone else as persons created and loved by God. Adults assist young people to recognize God’s love by helping them to understand that each of us lives and moves in a Circle of Grace. You can imagine your own Circle of Grace by putting your arms above your head then circle down in front of your body including side to side. This circle, front to back, holds who you are in your body and through your senses. It holds your very essence in mind, heart, soul, and sexuality. Why is it important to help our young people understand the Circle of Grace? God intends our relationships in life to be experiences of divine love. Respectful, nurturing, loving relationships increase our understanding of our own value and help us to love others. It is never too early to help young people understand how very special they are and how relationships in life are called to be sacred. Understanding this can help them to protect the special person they are and to be respectful of others. Adults, as they strive to provide a safe and protective environment, hold the responsibility to help young people understand and respect their own dignity and that of others.
