5th Sunday of Lent - March 13, 2016
“As I am Welcomed to Cold Lake” As I start my ministry in our Parish, I would like to enjoin you all to pray with me to seek guidance from God, St. Dominic and Our Lady of the Assumption our Patron Saints, as we continue to build His Kingdom of Love, Peace, and Justice. This year is the Jubilee Year of Mercy and it is fitting that we ask God’s Mercy and Forgiveness for whatever hinder us in promoting His Kingdom. Change is something that we often dread. But it is inevitable if we want to improve and make progress. Only when we are open to it guided by the Spirit that we will under-stand where God is leading us to. The saying goes: “We do not join a community, we build it,” let us work together then and always mindful that we all work for the greater glory of God. I believe that the king-dom of God is about relationships. And so unless we are connected to God and are in a good relationship with each other nothing can be accomplished. Please be more involved in church. This is your parish - our parish. Let us feel that we all belong to this parish. Let us all be reminded of our stewardship. Let us learn to share. It is said that we can never change the world by going to church but by being “The Church”. Bless you all!!! Fr. Nong

Our youth come together to journey towards Jesus. We do this through the use of speakers, discussions, games, prayer, celebrations, and the gifts and talents that God has given all individuals.

Live-In… a time to get to know Jesus A Live-In is a retreat-type experience. The ultimate purpose of the Live-In is to lead participants to a deeper personal relationship with Jesus Christ. This involves a series of presentations on the basis of Christian Life. A variety of speakers from various walks of life help to make it instructive, uplifting, and very enjoyable. You would also experience a new peace and a much deeper faith. Many have said after-wards that they have a much different outlook on their life, Spiritually, Mentally and Emotionally. Some have found a greater meaning and purpose for their life. Live-In takes place from April 15-17 in Dr. Brousseau School in Bonnyville. Participants must be at least 18 years of age to participate. Please call Dianne @ 780-826-2917 for more info. Registration forms are available at the entrance of the church. Each person requires a sponsor that has already participated in one. You may contact Janet @ 780-639-3245 or 780-594-4170 if you are need of a sponsor.
