A Short Introduction to the CWL My Name Is Father Michael Coyne
A Short Introduction to the CWL My name is Father Michael Coyne and I was ordained to the Priesthood on Sept 8th, 2020 by Bishop Guy Desrochers, and subsequently appointed to be the Pembroke Diocesan Spiritual Advisor to the Catholic Women’s League on the 17th of November 2020. I was born in North Bay in 1973. My parents were both Catholic, and I was baptised shortly after my birth, as was the Catholic tradition at the time. When I was six years old my family moved to Carleton Place and this is where I spent most of my formative early years growing up. My family eventually moved one final time back to Renfrew when my aunt, who lived in Renfrew, moved into the Quail Creek residence and we moved into my father’s ancestorial home on Barr Street. At this point in my life journey I began the discernment between two unique but complementary pursuits, the profession of teaching and the passion of missionary outreach. I started my spiritual journey by exploring the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate, which is a missionary religious congregation in the Catholic Church. It was founded on January 25, 1816, by Saint Eugène de Mazenod, a French priest born in Aix-en- Provence in the south of France on August 1, 1782. The congregation was given recognition by Pope Leo XII on February 17, 1826. The congregation is composed of priests and brothers usually living in community. Oblate means a person dedicated to God or God’s service. As a young man, I joined what they would call their Novitiate year to discern a calling to this missionary faith community.

Catherine of Genoa (}4-17-15101 Catherine, who lived for 60 years and died early in the 16th century. leads the modern reader directly to the more significant issues of the day. In her life she reconciled aspects of spirituality often seen to be either mutually exclusive or in conflict. This married lay woman was both a mystic and a humanitarian, a constant contemplative, yet daily immersed in the physical care of the sick and the destitute. For the last five centuries she has been the inspiration of such spiritual greats as Francis de Sales, Robert Bellarmine, Fenelon. Newman and Hecker.

Gregory Baum Dedicated His Book, Catholics and Canadian Socialism, to Eugene Cullinane
CCHA, Historical Studies, 65 (1999), 9-27 A Priest’s Tale: The Evolution of the Thinking of Eugene Cullinane CSB Bernard M. DALY Gregory Baum dedicated his book, Catholics and Canadian Socialism, to Eugene Cullinane. The tribute is an indication of Baum’s estimate of Cullinane’s place in the history of socialism in Canada. That mark was made by what Cullinane did in a period of only three years, from 1945 to 1948. This paper will explore an aspect of Cullinane’s career that does not stand out clearly in Baum’s analysis. Cullinane, a Catholic priest, then a member of the Congregation of St. Basil centred in Toronto, was not first and foremost a socialist political activist labouring to advance the partisan fortunes of the Co-operative Common- wealth Federation (CCF) in the late 1940s. He was always primarily the priest-teacher, who saw in the CCF program at that time an exemplifica- tion of social truths that he thought he had to teach, regardless of the cost to himself. Cullinane wanted the CCF to do well, but the good of the party was not his chief reason for joining it. It was not for partisan reasons that he wrote the letter and article which led to his banishment from the Saskatoon diocese in 1948 because, in Bishop Philip Pocock’s view, Cullinane broke an agreement not to engage in public political activity. Cullinane’s main concern always was the truth of what the Catholic church taught about economics and politics. He felt he had to speak out against the public opinion that Catholics could not join the CCF because the party was socialist in a way condemned by papal edict.

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.

Declining numbers of priests and changing demographics are creating challenges when it comes to providing ordained ministry to all of the 96 parishes across the diocese. Bishop Donald Bolen and diocesan leaders are therefore seeking input through a series of deanery and parish meetings about both the challenges and the blessings being experienced in the diocese, and to ask a number of questions seeking suggestions and feedback to creatively address the reality that fewer priests are available to serve in the diocese. “I would ask the diocese to engage in a creative reflection process, faithful to the Church, in asking where the Spirit might be leading us,” said Bolen, noting the importance of ordained ministry to Catholics as Eucharistic people. “We do a great deal of work in vocations – Priests serving across the diocese of Saskatoon gathered with the bishop at the start of Holy Week April 18 to celebrate the Chrism Mass, along but what more could we do to enhance that with parish representatives who came to collect the sacred oils to be used in sacraments in the year ahead.

The Catholic Foundation 2018 ANNUAL REPORT the Catholic Foundation
The Catholic Foundation 2018 ANNUAL REPORT the Catholic Foundation 2018 ANNUAL REPORT THEME: Two Sides to Every Story Produced by The Catholic Foundation Published by Hopkins Printing 2018 A LETTER FROM OUR CEO Dear Friends, The theme of this year’s Annual Report is “Two Sides To Every Story”. You will read stories of the Holy Spirit at work inspiring and motivating those who give and those who receive. These stories represent the very best and sometimes the humblest of people. We share these stories so that the Holy Spirit may inspire, educate, and hopefully motivate others to realize they can also give. Many people are under the impression that only the wealthy can give in an impactful way to the causes and organizations they care about. These stories will show how someone’s desire to give, and served by The Catholic Foundation’s ability to facilitate that desire, has not only made dreams come true but has furthered the core values of our Catholic faith. Blessed Mother Teresa said, “If you can’t feed a hundred people, feed just one.” One person or one gift can affect many lives. I ask that you read each story and connect with the people who gave and the people who have received. See how you can relate to their stories, their willingness to give, and their determination to make our Catholic faith and communities stronger. At The Catholic Foundation, we are here to ensure that your intentions and aspirations are met. We can create a custom, charitable plan that is carried out in a way that fits your goals and needs.
