STEWARDSHIP REFLECTIONS
“He instructed them to take nothing for the journey but a walking stick – no food, no sack, no money in their belts.” MARK 6:8
How different we are from the Apostles who took nothing when they ventured out to serve God. Today, we make our life’s journey more difficult because of all the material baggage that we drag along. When we really put God first in everything and put money and possessions second, we experience more freedom to joyfully serve God and others.

ST. IGNATIUS OF LOYOLA: THE MOVIE
Everyone is invited to watch the movie about St. Ignatius of Loyola on Sunday, July 29 from 2 pm to 6:30 pm at the church basement. This movie chronicles the life of a young soldier, Inigo (Ignacio de Loyola) who is forced to give up his dreams of Knighthood when he is crippled in battle. He starts pursuing a wild desire to become a saint-only to realize, upon being arrested by the Spanish Inquisition for heresy, that he must now pay the true price of sainthood: obedience to God’s voice, even unto death. For more details, please contact: Arsenio 604-777-0207
