ELECTRICAL UPGRADE CLOSURE:

 Due to the work being done to upgrade the electrical work at the Cathedral, there will be no power at the Cathedral from Monday, August 10th to Friday, August 21st, 2027. All regularly scheduled weekend and weekday Masses will be held at All Hallows Parish. Sorry for the inconvenience.

BISHOP’S UPDATE FOR THE PARISHES:

We would like all students, and parents of students, throughout the diocese, know that there is a Catholic presence at Grenfell Campus in Corner Brook. Mass is celebrated every second Tuesday of the month at 11:30 a.m. in the multi-faith room, beginning on Tuesday, October 13th, followed by a faith discussion over lunch. We also plan to have other activities throughout the year. This is a great way to connect with new friends, remain grounded in your faith and be involved. Please look for our booth, manned by some of our
students, at the “Get Involved Fair” on September 16th from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

FAMILY CATECHETICS REGISTRATION INFORMATION:

Registration information will be available starting August 22nd. Sessions will begin the week of September 20th, with specific evenings and times to be available next week. Families can still anonymously indicate their preferred session time using the Google Form on the Cathedral website. The form will remain open until Wednesday, August 19th. The most preferred time will be selected for the upcoming year.

Family Catechetics is an ongoing Faith formation program for families that helps form students into
prayerful, committed Christians who give witness to the Faith of the Church. With their families, students learn about many areas of their Faith. Sacramental formation is included throughout the journey for those who have not yet received the Sacraments of Reconciliation and Eucharist. Our program runs from Kindergarten to Year 6, in addition to the two years of preparation to receive the Sacrament of Confirmation. Contact a ngie.dolomount@gmail.com or 709-631-4543 (text/call) with any questions.

SUMMER PRAYER:

Father, Creator of all, thank You for summer. Thank You for the warmth of the sun and the increased daylight. Thank You for the beauty I see all around me and for the opportunity to be outside and enjoy Your creation. Thank You for the increased time I have to be with my friends and family, and for the more casual pace of the summer season. Draw me closer to You this summer. Teach me how I can pray no matter where I am or what I am doing. Warm my soul with the awareness of Your presence and light my path with Your word and counsel. As I enjoy Your creation, create in me a pure heart and a hunger and a thirst for You. Amen.

YOUTH GROUP / FAMILY AND LIFE:

We are looking for volunteers to support our Youth Group and Family and Life ministries. Many children and youth are eager to participate, but we currently do not have enough adult volunteers to sustain these activities while maintaining the required adult-to-child/youth ratios. Please consider volunteering for these fun and life-giving ministries! With a larger volunteer pool, responsibilities and time commitments can be shared among more people. To volunteer, please contact c bcatholicyouth@gmail.com, the parish ofice, or one of our current volunteers. Volunteers must be willing to meet the parish’s Responsible Ministry Requirements. Thank you.

AUGUST 24TH – FEAST OF SAINT BARTHOLOMEW:

On August 24th, we celebrate Saint Bartholomew, one of the twelve apostles. Also known as Nathanael in John’s Gospel, he was introduced to Jesus by his friend Philip. Upon meeting him, Jesus praised him as a man "in whom there is no duplicity!" (John 1:47). After Pentecost, tradition holds that Bartholomew fearlessly preached the Gospel in India and Armenia, where he was eventually martyred for his faith. Because of this, he is the patron saint of leatherworkers and tanners. Saint Bartholomew challenges us to live with absolute honesty and to be bold witnesses for Christ.
