EMILE PARISH Annual General Meeting June 3, 2021 Virtual "Faith is to believe what you do not see; the reward of this faith is to see what you believe" St. Augustine 556 St. Anne’s Rd., Winnipeg, MB, R2M 3G4 Canada 204-253-4176 st-emile.org St. Emile Parish Annual General Meeting 2021 PRAYER FOR OUR PARISH Thank you, Jesus, for we have found a home in the parish of St. Emile. It is here that we hope to learn, to grow, to love, to share, and to renew our lives. Send your Holy Spirit as we discern the path that we must take, that will lead us closer to You. Help us to cherish and to appreciate our brothers and sisters, to offer our gifts and talents when needed, to pray, to look after the sick and the needy, and to welcome the stranger and the outcast. Teach us to be patient, humble, gentle and kind in the relationships that we build. Help us to take responsibility for the life of our parish and to labour for the holiness of its members. We ask this in the Name of the Father and the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

Together with our different parish ministers and volunteers, we found endless ways to learn new ways to reach our parishioners and to nurture their faith. HOLY EUCHARIST Weekday Masses: Monday to Saturday 9:30 am Weekend Masses: Saturday 5pm and Sunday 9am, 11am, and 3pm (new) Every Mass is livestreamed in order to reach our parishioners who are unable to attend. With the ever-changing protocols of the government, our website, our facebook page, and youtube have all been useful in reaching out to our home-bound parishioners. We have a team of videographers who take turns in recording our Masses, supervised by Nae Narine and our sound director Richard Cornwell. Healing Mass Due to Covid Restriction of public touching, we have suspended our healing Masses. Healing oil is made available to parishioners upon request. Confessions Every Friday from 10 until noon. People also call to make an appointment for Reconciliation. Some come from other parishes who cannot be accommodated by their own parish. Baptisms Baptisms were held upon request either during the weekday or weekend. Last year, we had a total of 14 children who were baptized. Jackie Kohut conducts Baptismal Preparation Class every second Saturday of the month. Adoration Every day, after daily Masses we have adoration of the Blessed Eucharist until noon. People may sign up if they want to stay longer or later in the afternoon. Weddings Despite COVID restrictions we held 7 Weddings last year, with a few participants ranging from 10 to 50. Outside Masses in Care homes / Retirement Homes have not resumed since the beginning of Covid in March 2020. Anointing of the Sick There have been requests from different private homes and at times from care homes, especially when the patient is dying. Page 8 of 44 St. Emile Parish Annual General Meeting 2021 Retreats We had our virtual Advent and Lenten retreats by different members of our parish. Their short talks were compiled to form a single theme for the two seasons. Seven, which was a meditation on the Seven Last Words of Jesus were presented by seven parishioners who shared about their experiences of a particular word of Jesus on the cross. This was done virtually. First Reconciliation and Holy Communion Before the Pandemic, 7 children from the parish and 7 children from St. Emile School did their first Reconciliation. Unfortunately, because of COVID restrictions, we did not have First Communion and Confirmation last year. R.C.I.A. Deacon Gilles Urquhart led a team to conduct a series of lessons on the Catholic faith which was attended by candidates for R.C.I.A. and some parishioners who just wanted to learn more about their Catholic faith. After the course, Jane Udoh received her First Communion and Confirmation, while Michael Wong, Karen Charnesky and Ryan Querel were baptized, received First Holy Communion and Confirmation. These were held after the celebration of Easter. Funerals We had a total of 10 funerals during the year. It was most difficult for many because of the limited amount of people who could attend and say goodbye to their loved one. Overall, we are working very hard to accommodate our parishioners and their spiritual needs. We continue to invite volunteers to help in our Sacramental Preparation courses. We also need people who can help and volunteer in technical aspects such as computer, audiovisual, and networking. We are also grateful for all the efforts and contributions of our volunteers.

Abstract: The essay is a revisionist look at James Agee’s famous article “Comedy’s Greatest Era” –keying on Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin– ‘the comedy auteurs’ of the 1920s. However, while Chaplin was the giant of the era, period literature showcases that Keaton was a popular but more cult-like figure. (See my forthcoming book: Buster Keaton in his own time, McFarland Press). However, Keaton is now considered on a par with Chaplin. While the inspired comedy of Chaplin will be forever timeless, Keaton now seems to speak to today. At least a Wes D.

Otherwise, no part of this publication may be reproduced in any manner without prior written permission of the Archdiocese of Louisville. Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ: Welcome to the fourth revised edition of Christian Hospitality. First published in 1994, this handbook has served as a helpful resource for many parishes in our Archdiocese and beyond. Hospitality is a vital part of our baptismal call to invite all to come to know the good news of Jesus Christ. This ministry requires a welcoming spirit that offers opportunities for us to develop relationships of mutuality and solidarity. With its sections on liturgical hospitality, multicultural realities, welcoming persons with special needs, and reaching out beyond our parish boundaries, this handbook offers solid suggestions and food for thought in many areas of ministry and challenges us to deepen our practice of how to welcome all in Jesus’ name. I thank the many archdiocesan agencies that worked together to update and develop this material. As we present it again for use by parishes, let us seek the intercession of St. Benedict, the great monk and scholar whose ministry provides us with a deep sense of hospitality based upon reverence for the dignity of every person and upon our common journey toward union with our God.

" Movies have always been a part of our culture. For every milestone, historical event, or scientific discovery; there is always a movie ready to reflect reality from an artistic and sometimes exaggerated standpoint. What if movies did not have language, though? While it is said that language is the medium of conversation, it is also said that images are more powerful than words. Silent films evoke a feeling of both antiquity and timelessness. Though cinematography was very simple and the concept of “green screen” was unknown then, even a person unfamiliar with silent films can follow the storyline. The pure sincerity of the acting alone is enough to reveal a character’s disposition, such as a grimace pertaining to disdain or a grin representing sly joy. Silent films do not need extemporaneous effects to convey a powerful message that will last for centuries, making the experience seem novel though actually vintage. Starting 2007, Manila has been host to this one of a kind experience of watching silent films produced a century ago.

  • INVITED to the FEAST?: PROBLEMS of HOSPITALITY, COLONIALITY and IDENTITY in the MUSIC CLASSROOM. ELEANOR M. JOHNSTON a Dissertat
    INVITED TO THE FEAST?: PROBLEMS OF HOSPITALITY, COLONIALITY AND IDENTITY IN THE MUSIC CLASSROOM. ELEANOR M. JOHNSTON A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Program in Education York University Toronto, Ontario July 2020 © Eleanor M. Johnston, 2020 i Abstract This study sought to understand the complicated interactions of student, teacher, curriculum and curricular objects in one junior music classroom in Ontario. This work was taken up under Derrida’s call for cities of refuge in On Cosmopolitanism and Forgiveness while mindful of the ways in which colonial structures can appear cosmopolitan, as in the trope of music as universal language. It explored how changing the music that was studied might affect their perception of their own and others’ belonging in the music room. This in turn, asks us to consider how curricular choices affect behavior, engagement and success in our students. Through ethnographically informed methods including interviews and observations, surveys and a curricular intervention using global pop music, student and teacher attitudes and engagement with diverse musics and cultures were examined. Three major themes emerged in the analysis; complex and conflicted identities in students who believed much of their tastes and selves did not belong at school, a rapid fluidity in musical taste, and the omnipresent shadow of a Western cultural framework of music curriculum, academic success, and schooling behavior and expectations. Several pedagogical and curricular implications were explored, including engaging students through academic approaches to music, student belonging and hospitality practices, and the difficulties of reception of multicultural approaches within the school.

  • Humour and Enjoyment Reducers in Cinema and Theatre Comedy
    http://dx.doi.org/10.7592/EJHR2014.2.3.sover European Journal of Humour Research 2 (3) 86–97 www.europeanjournalofhumour.org Humour and enjoyment reducers in cinema and theatre comedy Arie Sover Ashkelon Academic College, Israel Abstract In this research, I am trying to define a new concept which I shall call Enjoyment Reducer, referring to verbal or visual content, incorporated into comic situations, which may offend or disturb the viewer’s enjoyment. There are comic situations that are only partially enjoyable and, at times, even cause embarrassment to the point of adversely affecting our enjoyment. These types of comic situations include what I term Enjoyment Reducers since they operate contrary to the function for which the comic situations were intended, which is to cause the viewer enjoyment. It should be noted that practically every comic situation includes Enjoyment Reducers because they are based on incongruities which disrupt our normal order or values. The fact that we laugh at humorous situations means that their enjoyable effect is stronger than the Enjoyment Reducers’ effect. Additionally, Enjoyment Reducers are both culture-dependent and contingent upon the viewer’s personality traits. Therefore, what one person perceives as an Enjoyment Reducer might be understood differently by another. The research findings reveal various types of Enjoyment Reducers that relate to human values, prohibitions and taboos. In addition, I will refer to another concept that is quite known, Enjoyment Enhancers, which might shed light on the main focus of the present research, which is Enjoyment Reducers. This research focuses mainly on comedy film, although the results are also relevant to theatre and all types of comic shows.
