CATHOLIC BISHOPS OF SASKATCHEWAN Most Rev. Donald Bolen Most Rev. Bryan Bayda, CSsR Eparchy of Saskatoon Archdiocese of Regina Most Rev. Murray Chatlain Most Rev. Mark Hagemoen Most Rev. Stephen Hero Archdiocese of Keewatin-Le Pas Diocese of Saskatoon Diocese of Prince Albert July 3, 2021 Proposed New ‘APPEAL’ for the support of Residential School Survivors and their Families and Communities Dear Clergy, Religious and Lay Faithful of the Catholic Dioceses and Eparchy in Saskatchewan, Over the past days, coming face to face with findings at cemeteries of former residential schools, we have been awakened anew to the waves of suffering from those who have been affected by these schools and the colonial system that fashioned and upheld them, a system with which Catholic Church dioceses and organizations, along with other institutions, were complicit. We have heard the strong request, from Indigenous and non-Indigenous people in various quarters, to initiate a new fundraising campaign to support survivors and engage more deeply in our own ongoing commitment and response to the Truth and Reconciliation process. Many members of our Catholic community have expressed their solidarity and support for the ongoing work of healing for survivors and their families, which could take the shape of supporting local projects of the National Indian Brotherhood and responding locally to TRC Calls to Action involving a financial commitment, as guided by Indigenous communities here in Saskatchewan (cf. Calls to Action #61, #73-76; #82). We are deeply grateful for the signs and indications of commitment we have been hearing and have begun consultations this past week towards a province-wide fundraising effort, which we would each undertake in ways discerned in our respective dioceses. To maximize the effectiveness of such an effort, it is important to plan well and to coordinate the efforts of various potential participants, and most importantly, to consult with Indigenous dialogue partners, including Survivors, Elders, Knowledge Keepers and Chiefs. Those conversations are already underway and we hope to be able to announce a plan soon. We offer this brief communication as an update and look forward to responding with more details in the near future. In the meantime, blessings to you all on this very warm July long weekend. Sincerely Yours in Christ, Most Rev. Donald Bolen Most Rev. Bryan Bayda Most Rev. Murray Chatlain Archbishop of Regina Ukrainian Eparchial Bishop of Saskatoon Archbishop of Keewatin-Le Pas Most Rev.

Perhaps you would simply like to have more information on having your child baptized at Holy Spirit parish? If any of these are true for you. I would love to hear from you! If you have attended a baptism preparation session in the past couple of years you probably won’t need to take prep before the baptism. If you are brand new parents or have not taken any baptism prep sessions please contact me and we can arrange for a prep session and then the celebration of baptism with your child. Please contact me at 306-374-1425 or email to [email protected] and I am happy to answer any questions you may have and we can talk about both the prep sessions and the celebration itself. I am looking forward to hearing from you! CHRISTIAN INITIATION OF CHILDREN In the past couple of years we have had inquiries from parents of a number of children who have not been baptized and now the child is showing a keen interest in receiving the sacraments of initiation (Baptism, Confirmation and First Communion). Is this happening in your home too? We, at Holy Spirit Parish, are trying to meet this need and have created a process for children 8 to 16 years who would like to explore the possibility of being baptized and receive the sacraments of Confirmation and First Communion. I would love to talk with you and your child if she/he has been questioning. I so look forward to telling you more about this encouraging and gratifying process. Please either call or email me at [email protected] or 306-374-1425. CHRISTIAN INITIATION FOR ADULTS RCIA is being offered this year virtually. They are meeting Wednesday evenings at 7:00 via Zoom.

  • Early Nineteenth-Century Women Interpret Scripture in New Ways for New Times
    Reading with our Foresisters: Aguilar, King, McAuley and Schimmelpenninck— Early Nineteenth-Century Women Interpret Scripture in New Ways for New Times by Elizabeth Mary Davis A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Regis College and the Graduate Centre for Theological Studies of the Toronto School of Theology. In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Theology awarded by Regis College and the University of Toronto. © Copyright by Elizabeth Mary Davis 2019 Reading with our Foresisters: Aguilar, King, McAuley and Schimmelpenninck— Early Nineteenth-Century Women Interpret Scripture in New Ways for New Times Elizabeth Mary Davis Doctor of Theology Regis College and The University of Toronto 2019 Abstract Biblical hermeneutics today is marked by increased attention to women’s experience and voices in interpretation, the illustration of alternatives to the historical-critical approach to create a plurality of interpretation as the interpretive norm, exploration of the social location of earlier interpreters, determination of authority for biblical interpretation, and expansion of hermeneutics to include praxis (a manifestation of embodied or lived theology). This thesis shows that these elements are not completely new, but they are actually embedded in scriptural interpretation from two hundred years ago. The exploration of the biblical interpretation of four women—Grace Aguilar, Frances Elizabeth King, Catherine McAuley and Mary Anne Schimmelpenninck—who lived at the same time in the early nineteenth century in the same geographic region and who represent the spectrum of readers of the Bible, concludes that the interpretive works of these four women were prototypical of and anticipated these elements. ii To guide this exploration, the thesis appropriates the construct of the hermeneutic triangle, examining the social location of the four women, their texts about the Bible and the hermeneutic by which they interpreted the biblical texts.
