It reflects the increasing cultural and religious diversity of Canada and the desire on the part of CSC to respect the rights of offenders to practise their faith during their incarceration. Honouring the religious rights of incarcerated persons as guaranteed by the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms is a challenge that is supported by the Corrections and Conditional Release Act and the Corrections and Conditional Release Regulations as well as the CSC Mission. It is our hope that this Manual will serve as a working document to inform and guide decisions at the local level. May the collaboration it encourages, as well as the respect for the individual that it supports, help facilitate the growth of all those who seek to remain faithful

  • Exaltation of the Holy Cross Parish Ukrainian Catholic Church
    8 EXALTATION OF THE HOLY CROSS PARISH UKRAINIAN CATHOLIC CHURCH 13753 - 108TH AVENUE, SURREY, BC V3T 2K6 PARISH ADMINISTERED BY: REV. ANDRII CHORNENKYI УКРАЇНСЬКА КАТОЛИЦЬКА ЦЕРКВА ПАРАФІЯ ВОЗДВИЖЕННЯ ЧЕСНОГО ХРЕСТА PARISH BULLETIN № 7. FEBRUARY 21, 2016 A.D. THE SECOND SUNDAY OF THE GREAT FAST SUNDAY OF ST. GREGORY PALAMAS On the 2nd Sunday of Great Lent, the Church opens before us the well-known page of the Holy Gospel about the cure of a paralytic man, who was brought to Christ by his four friends. This is a good example for the fast. The example, that only together people can be saved, supporting each other, loving, believing, helping and then God will help each of us. Because as He himself gets us out from the depth of sin, so He wants us to help each other. Sometimes we can’t help by outward works, but we can help by inner ones, to help by a prayer. Every day prayer for each other, relatives, friends and even for enemies must be pronounced with such persistence and love as those people, carrying a paralytic man, tried to get into the house where Christ was. On the 2nd Sunday of the Great Fast the Church commemorates Saint Gregory Palamas. It was St. Gregory who bore living witness that men can become divine through the grace of Lord in the Holy Spirit; and that even in this life, by prayer and fasting, human beings can become participants of the uncreated light of God’s divine glory. “Absence of passions and the possession of virtue constitute love for God; for hatred of evil, resulting in the absence of passions, introduces in its place the desire for and acquisition of spiritual blessings.
