  • On February 1St, the Downtown Serra Club Was
    On February 1st, the Downtown Serra club was pleased to hear author Mary Francis Cody speak about her 7th book “George and Pauline Vanier: Portrait of a Couple.” Few figures have had as lasting an influence on Canadian institutions, history, politics and culture as George and Pauline Vanier. George (1888-1967) a decorated military officer, became the first Canadian ambassador to France and the first Catholic French-Canadian governor general in Canada. Pauline (1898-1991), a respected humanitarian, Privy Council member and university chancellor, shared her husband’s responsibilities and helped shape his thoughts on religion, foreign and domestic affairs. George and Pauline Vanier follows their lives and travels across the world – from Canadian military life to the League of Nations, from the inner circles of British government to their harrowing escape from Nazi- occupied France – detailing their enduring faith in God throughout the disappointments and triumphs during social and political turbulence. Revealing their remarkable vibrant personalities, Mary Francis detailed the couple’s support of the French resistance as well as George Vanier’s pleas to the Canadian Government to accept refugees fleeing Hitler’s horrors and his efforts to broaden immigration policy. Most importantly for our members, Mary Frances recounted the importance of their religious convictions and their spiritual quest in their marriage and family life. Mary Frances has been involved in religious journalism for over thirty years, and has been involved as a teacher in the field of professional communications at Ryerson University for the last 20 years. She currently teaches an on-line course for Ryerson University.

  • Dr. Thérèse Vanier Taught Lessons in Dying and Healing SANDRA MARTIN Special to the Globe and Mail Published Sunday, Jul
    1 OBITUARY Dr. Thérèse Vanier taught lessons in dying and healing SANDRA MARTIN Special to The Globe and Mail Published Sunday, Jul. 27 2014, 8:17 PM EDT Last updated Sunday, Jul. 27 2014, 8:17 PM EDT There’s a documentary from the 1970s in which a BBC journalist takes a film crew to Little Ewell, the first l’Arche community in England, to interview Thérèse Vanier, its director. The journalist is trying to plumb the concept of a faith-based community, in which the mentally disabled live in harmony with volunteers or “assistants,” not as charges under care, but as equal participants. Gently, Dr. Vanier, a tall, elegant woman with a silver helmet of hair who resembles International Monetary Fund chief Christine Lagarde, explains that the weaker members of society have a great deal to give, but we rarely give them the chance because they are so often pushed to the fringes. “Are there spiritual benefits that I, as an outsider, am excluded [from], because I am not in contact with the mentally handicapped?” the journalist asks. Regarding him patiently, Dr. Vanier delicately suggests that he might accrue some spiritual benefits by looking “at the weak and apparently foolish,” and asking, “is there something there I can learn? Is there something in these people that is going to bring me closer to God?” That quest, expressed simply but compellingly, is a key to Dr. Vanier’s life. The only daughter of former governor-general Georges Vanier, she was a decorated veteran of the Second World War, a distinguished hematologist at London’s St.

  • Michael Higgin's Jean Vanier: Logician of The
    “Michael Higgin’s Jean Vanier: Logician of the Heart is an eloquent and moving meditation on what it means to be truly human in a ‘throwaway’ culture where competition, corporate greed, and inequality reign supreme. Vanier’s work among the physically and intellectually vulnerable reveals the cost and joy of radical love. By emphasizing our common frailty and the openness and capacity of the disabled to allow Jesus to find repose in their hearts—he challenges us to enflesh tenderness in our own lives, become ‘God’s refuge’ in a largely uncaring world. A book to be treasured and reread.” —James Clarke, poet, judge, author of L’Arche Journal: A Family’s Experience in Jean Vanier’s Community “This is a brilliant exposition of an extraordinary man and the many influences that have shaped him and his prophetic vision. Higgins has entered deeply into Vanier’s life story and presents it with fascinating detail. I have known Vanier and been involved with his L’Arche communities since the mid-sixties but every chapter of this beautiful book reveals to me new dimensions of both the man and his life work.” —Bill Clarke, SJ Spiritual Director, Ignatius Jesuit Centre, Guelph, Ontario “Since 1964, Jean Vanier and many friends, with and without intellectual disabilities, have lived in community together. These international communities of L’Arche, and Faith and Light, show that peace on earth and goodwill among all people is possible. Michael Higgins brings his characteristic enthusiasm and wide-ranging cultural interests to this personal interpretation of the life and legacy of Jean Vanier.” —Carolyn Whitney-Brown, PhD, editor of Jean Vanier: Essential Writings People of God Remarkable Lives, Heroes of Faith People of God is a series of inspiring biographies for the general reader.

  • Steve and Ann Newroth, Founders of L’Arche Daybreak
    The Seeding of L’Arche in Canada The Story of Steve and Ann Newroth, Founders of L’Arche Daybreak How was L’Arche born in the minds and hearts of the bright, sophisticated young Canadians who brought it to Canada? What fired their imaginations to put aside their plans to follow a respected career path into the Anglican ministry and rather to live in a 200‐year old farmhouse, used for a time as a stable, in a tiny French village far from the amenities of a city and to welcome three men to share it with them who could not read or write or carry on any kind of in‐depth conversation and who needed help with the basic skills of living? Steve and Ann Newroth are that couple, and this is the story that lies behind the founding of L’Arche in Canada. The early 1960s were a hopeful time in North America and a time of many changes in the ways people thought and lived. Both the USA and Canada had recovered from World War II and become prosperous. The United Nations had been created, it was a time of optimism, and many people felt they could build a better world. It was the era of the hippies and experiments in different ways of living together, especially on the West Coast of the USA.
