Message From Our Catholic Schools
During this time of school building closures, we have been working to provide lunches for families in need. To date, the division has supported 52 families with basic lunch items, such as milk, bread, juice boxes, fruit, etc. These food items are delivered to the doorsteps of these families by our staff while maintaining social distancing. We are happy to provide continued support for our families through the Alberta Education school nutrition grant. We order food online from local grocery stores and it is then distributed to the families. Research shows students learn better and are able to achieve the goals of education when they have eaten a healthy meal. For the next 12 weeks, we hope to use the school nutrition grant to continue providing basic lunch items for these families.
Would you like to help? We are accepting donations to help feed our families. If you would like to donate, please send an etransfer to erma.brady@rdcrs.ca with the password Montfort and a message with your full name - nutrition fund. Any donations will be given a tax receipt. If you would like a tax receipt, please send erma.brady@rdcrs.ca an email with your full name, mailing address and phone number. Thank you and stay safe!

During this difficult time and given the current economic situation, we have reviewed all of the staff positions at the Church and have determined that we will only have enough work for one position. This change will allow the Church to continue to meet the spiritual needs of the Parish Community, while still being financially responsible. We want to thank all parish staff who are going on temporary lay off, and thank you in advance for your patience as we adapt to the new office schedule.
To read a letter from the Archbishop regarding COVID-19 measures. Letter Dated March-16-2020
If anyone has church keys, please return them
to the church during office hours. Thanks. 
Living in the Word ̶ ̶ There are many ways we can put the Word of God into practice through the act of witnessing to Christ. The most effective is by the way we live our lives. People pay more attention to what we do than to what we say. Yet, there are times when we are called upon to speak on the basis of our belief, particularly in those moments when people close to us, co-workers or society in general take directions contrary to the teachings of our Lord.
(Archbishop Smith, Pastoral Letter, September 14, 2017) |
