Attention Catholic Schools
Last week creative and exciting events took place in our schools during Catholic Education Week. While the deadline for the next Northern Catholic News is not until February 15th, now (while everything is fresh in your minds and you remember where you filed the pictures) is a good time to write about how great your school is and what took place during this week of celebration and activity. We look forward to receiving pictures and articles to liven up the Spring edition of the Northern Catholic News. Send to majamin@pgdiocese.bc.ca as soon as possible. Thank you!
Office of Evangelization and Catechesis
Come and Rest
All are welcome to…Come and Rest (Mt 11:28): The Office of Evangelization and Catechesis (OEC) in cooperation with Christ Our Saviour Parish is hosting a series of Sabbath Day Encounters with Jesus. These are gatherings where we will welcome Him in prayer, adoration, teaching, and fellowship. Each session begins with coffee and fellowship in the basement of Christ Our Saviour in Prince George. A presentation will follow for the various generations (adult, teens, and children). Child care will also be provided.
The topic for these sessions will be: PRAYING WITH THE HEART OF JESUS, an ongoing series where we will explore the riches of the Heart of Jesus and it’s connection to the Year of Mercy. After the teaching time, we will have a potluck dinner (bring a dish to share) followed by an evening of Adoration and Worship before the Blessed Sacrament. These days will take place on the Sundays of Jan 24, Feb 21, March 20, April 17, May 15, 3:00 – 7:30 pm. For more info. call Tracy at 250-640-0251 or email her at sacredmission@icloud.com.
