PASTOR’S VIEWPOINT
I have spent the opening days of November in the
spirit of gathering with Saints and praying for the
deceased. Managed to sprinkle the experience with a
few Jet games and day dreaming moments of
fascination at God’s words expressed in the created
language of the Fall season. A great time, just to be
and to appreciate and celebrate. I often think of my
deceased father, because he taught me the love of
life, hockey, baseball and left the faith department to
his mother, my grandmother to handle. All of these
aspects of real life have changed so much and I
regret to experience so many of them, mostly the
faith and the experience of community, on both
sides of the death experience, without my father, as I
know he would have enjoyed the ride.
A less interesting bit of new comes from our parish
finance ‘minister’. At the pace we are travelling, the
Sharing God’s Gift campaign will miss the target for
a second straight year, unless we have a few sleeper
donors who will have resources ready to creep out of
nowhere and help us fill in the blanks. I have not
figured out why, for the second year in a row, we are
less successful than past years. Not a good subject
for meditation.
I am waiting for promotion materials to come in
from Vancouver, to introduce the Mission we will
experience during the second week of Advent. One
bit of interesting information is that Fr. Lucien Larre
has an assistant by the name of Ria Kaal. They often
stay in rectories, but mine has one spare room only.
They also cook their own meals. Their special
requirement is for the big black Poodle, Pierre.
Apparently he does not bark nor bite, never fights
with other dogs and chews nothing but food. We
might need a billet for the length of the Mission.
Just thought I would place the seed in the ground
and hope for a sprout, even though we are out of
season for sowing. God’s love would be the only
reward I see for now. Have a holy month of
November.
