New Parish Pastoral Council Executive
-
"A Parish Pastoral Council is vital in the life of all our parishes; it is the principal avenue of consultation and planning in a parish. It is indispensable for fruitful leadership by the pastor; it is equally indispensable for all the lay people to properly exercise their co-responsibility for the mission of the Church."
Archbishop of Saint Boniface, Albert LeGatt
Following the required Nominations process, PPC members met on Thursday, August 20, to elect the new Executive from a group of six eligible members of the PPC, who had allowed their name to stand.

A Passport to Heaven?
"[T]he message that comes through Matthew's parable is quite reassuring. There is no question in that story of measuring what anyone deserves. The question of payment or rewards handed out to the workers is simply a question of how generous the landowner is."

An Elusive God
"Along with strong consciousness of God’s presence in virtually every facet of the biblical peoples’ lives, there is also a nagging perplexity that is a sense that God is barely known and far different than anything or anyone we might imagine. The paradox of the God of the Scriptures is that he is both very near and very far."

Service, Not Envy
"Our Gospel reminds us that our entry into the kingdom of God is a pure gift, nothing we have merited. God owes us nothing, had no need to lavish on us the love manifest in Jesus Christ. ... We cannot grasp His providence, and should not pretend to do so, except where He of His freedom has revealed it to us."
Read more from Fr. Richard Finn, O.P. at Torch.
