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.

BIBLE STUDY ON THE HOLY EUCHARIST

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

MASS WEDDING FOR CIVILLY MARRIED COUPLES
If you got married civilly and would now like to have your marriage recognized by the Church there will be a great opportunity to do so again this year on Saturday, August 25, at 1:30 p.m. at Our Lady of Good Counsel, Surrey. Archbishop J. Michael Miller, CSB, will be celebrating a wedding Mass for a large number of civilly married couples (participants must be both baptized and married only once). You will need a copy of your marriage registration, a recent copy of your baptism certificates, and to complete some forms. Registration deadline: July 31.
