Here we are again, the beginning of Lent for another year. Traditionally Lent is a time of self-reflection, openness to the Spirit of God moving in our lives, and commitment to change for the better in ourselves and our world. The practices of prayer, fasting and almsgiving are intended to help us move along the journey of transformation to Oneness in Christ. Read More Lent Resources Article by Teresa Hanlon on a topic related to our Lenten theme: On the morning of February 19, 2022, almost a “screen full” of us
gathered with MMICC’s Indigenous Relations Team to listen to Métis
Elder, Water Walker, Marjorie Beaucage. We told our own stories of
water growing up, playing on the shores and beaches of oceans (Atlantic
and Pacific), lakes and rivers. We remembered wells and creeks, the
beginnings and the breadth of great drinks.

behalf of Roman Catholic Women Priests Canada (RCWP Canada), you are
cordially invited to Teresa Hanlon's Ordination to Priesthood on
Saturday April 30th, 2022 at 11:00 am in Lethbridge AB.

Donna S. recommends this quotation: “Grief, I’ve learned, is really just love. It’s all the love you want to give, but cannot. All that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and In that hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go.” ——-Jamie Anderson, author of Doctor Who (lessonskearnedinlife.com) Jane K. recommends the following event this Sunday:  Join Jane and Valerie Kaur this Sunday, March 13 at 3pm PT/6pm ET for how to practice revolutionary love in war-time.

Several members have mentioned difficulty receiving email regarding the MMICC Eucharist. The problem, we think, is that some Internet Service Providers (SaskTel, Bell, Telus, etc.) are either blocking or sending bulk and bcc email to the Spam folder. We will
continue to use bulk and bcc email for practical and security reasons,
but to alleviate this problem, we are doing the following:
1. Our three
messages ahead of each Eucharist are regularly sent on three
consecutive days. MMICC members may contact mmiccregina@gmail.com ahead of
time informing us that they have not received the expected email.
2. On the day the worship aid is sent out, it will also be posted to the Worship Aids page of the MMICC Bulletin Board. For security reasons, the Zoom link will be sent only by email one hour before the start of the liturgy or meeting. 3. The message with the Zoom link is sent one hour before the Eucharist liturgy starts. If the link is not received as expected, at least a half-hour before we start, members may telephone (306-737-2927) or send an email message (mmiccregina@gmail.com) requesting the missing link. |
