This is a special 68th Nova Scotia Provincial Convention for us at Holy Redeemer as one of our own, Peggy MacNeil, will become Provincial President. We are very proud of Peggy for her dedication to the Catholic Women’s League of Canada. This weekend will be one of celebration as we pray together, worship together and celebrate our accomplishments. Conventions are a reminder of just how important our work is at the parish, diocesan, provincial and national levels as well as beyond our borders. Patricia Murphy, President, Holy Redeemer CWL The painting of Our Lady of Good Counsel can be found in a centuries old church in Genazzano, Italy, about 50km from Rome. Restoration/rebuilding of the old church occurred in the 15th century largely thanks to the support of a wealthy widow named Petruccia. According to legend, in 1467, townspeople heard beautiful music and saw a white cloud descend on the church. As the cloud dissipated, the painting of Our Lady was revealed. It was widely believed that the beautiful fresco had come from the walls of a church in Scutari, Albania. Two bishops sent by Pope Paul II reported that over 170 miracles occurred in the ensuing months. They also reported that an empty space was found on the wall of a church in Scutari. In 1753, Pope Benedict XIV established the Pious Union of Our Lady of Good Counsel to promote devotion to Mary under this title. The Feast Day of Our Lady of Good Counsel is April 26. *The CWL Annual Retreat will be June 18, at Our Lady of Grace Monastery from 9am-3pm. Registration and tea, coffee and muffins from 9-10am. Mass will be celebrated by Bishop Brian Dunn at 11am. A collection at Mass will be offered to the Sisters for their generous hospitality. Tickets will be sold on a beautiful spa basket, $2ea or 3/$5 with proceeds as part of our donation. Lunch is a choice of chicken pot pie or lasagna. Cost: $15 (paid on arrival). Registration deadline: June 14. If you plan to attend, call Paula: 902-567-0794 The Catholic Women’s League of Canada is a national organization rooted in gospel values calling its members to holiness through service to the people of God. The CWL of Canada approved the formation of the Nova Scotia Provincial Council in February of 1948 and today there are over 4000 members across the two dioceses of Antigonish and Halifax-Yarmouth. The Holy Redeemer CW L was established in 1922. The principal objective of the CWL when formed was to raise money to supplement parish funds. The main sources of revenue for the group were the weekly card games and the Annual Fall Fair held at the old Imperial Hall. Since its inception, the Holy Redeemer CWL has contributed to numerous causes including the former Little Flower Orphanage, the former St. Rita’s Hospital Fund, Brownies, Girl Guides and Mass for Shut-Ins... to name a few. During World War II, our CWL provided cigarettes and magazines for parishioners fighting overseas. Of particular note: Holy Redeemer Church’s Stations of the Cross were donated in 1929 by our CWL. They are also involved in the care and cleaning of the sanctuary as well as catering various parish functions and funerals. In addition, our CWL makes a generous donation to our Building Fund each year in memory of deceased members. Holy Redeemer Parish owes a debt of gratitude to our CWL for nearly 95 years of faithful service to our parish. Thank you ladies!!! COLLECTION - JUNE 5, 2016 5,845.00 Envelopes & Loose Building Fund Cemetery Oil Cemetery Candles Total 4,742.00 821.00 100.00 52.00 130.00 $5,845.00 Assisted Dying: You will find another excellent letter written by Cardinal Lacroix, Archbishop of Quebec, on our parish website. His letter is entitled: “Assisted Dying: No Dying without Dignity”. Please take a moment to read this article and know your Catholic faith regarding human life. Come on Home! Our Parish of Holy Redeemer makes this its own invitation to all our Catholic brothers and sisters who, for whatever reason, have ceased the regular practice of their faith — “Come on Home.” A parish is like a family: it is composed of many people with different personalities and natures. Every person has their strengths and weaknesses, gifts and fears. Yet, we all come to Mass to worship God and we all come before Him as equals — sinners who are made for Him and are loved by Him. We all know of family members and friends who have ceased the practice of their faith. Why not invite them back? We want them back; indeed, the family is incomplete without them. Assure them that they need not be hesitant about returning as they will be fully welcomed here at Holy Redeemer. On behalf of our parish I extend a very sincere invitation: “Come on Home — please.” Father Paul Murphy Cemetery Memorial Candles are once again available for purchase at the back of the church for those wishing to place one in remembrance at the graveside of a loved one. Cost is $10. All proceeds go to the Building Fund to support much needed work to the outside of the church this summer. **You may also purchase these candles through the week during office hours at 80 James Street ** Cursillo News — The monthly Mass and Ultreya will be celebrated downstairs at Our Lady of Fatima Church on Thursday, June 16 at 7:30pm.
