If you are interested in joining the parade / carolling committee for the December 7th evening, please join us on Thursday November 8th at 8 pm in the meeting room next to the overflow. Please call Maureen Mourits at 780-674-6532 if you have any questions.
October is the month of Rosary when we express our Devotion to Blessed Mother in a very special way. To mark the occasion, we will have Rosary, praying all the mysteries on Saturday, October 27 at 5:30 pm followed by the Mass.
Journey to Bethlehem is an annual event in Fort
Assiniboine. The hamlet is transformed into Bethlehem with
about 200 volunteers working to make it a true holiday
experience for visitors. Those who attend will see what it was
like walking the last mile into Bethlehem on the night Jesus
was born. The event is hosted by the Fort Assiniboine and
Friends Christian Community, but the Journey to Bethlehem
is a non-denominational event. Everyone is welcome. This is
an outdoor event, so please dress warmly.
Time: 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Tours leave every 8-10
minutes from the Catholic Church
Admission: FREE (Donations will be accepted for the
Friendship Centre.)
To reinforce the significance of All Saints Day, Catechism
children will come dressed as their favorite saint (3:30 –
5:00pm). They win candy by completing games about various
saints in the church Hall. Families can participate in the fun.
Helpers are needed for setting up and managing game stations
and Hall clean-up. Please contact the Office if you can help. Join
us for a fun-filled activity honoring many saints!
ALL ARE WELCOME !
