Come join us for the 15th annual Women’s Fall Retreat on Saturday, October 26 from 9 am to 3:30 pm. The retreat will be held at Holy Cross Catholic School, 521 Clothier Street, Kemptville, ON. The guest speaker, Nancy Steele, is a well-known author and motivational speaker. Nancy will address the theme, “The Steadfast Love of the Lord” (Lamentations 3: 22-23). Nancy will present two interactive keynote talks, with opportunities for discussion. She will invite the attendees to ask themselves: “Where do I see God’s steadfast love?” The day will begin with Mass in Holy Cross Catholic Church, celebrated by our spiritual advisor, Father Brian McNally. Music and singing during the Mass and at various points throughout the day will be led by Cynthia Fediuk-Mombourquette and Anna Brown. The retreat will include snacks and a delicious lunch, and the day will culminate in the exchange of prayer partners. The cost of the retreat is $50 per person. For more information and to register, please go to our website, www.womensfallretreat.com. The deadline for registration is October 18. Attend the Women’s Fall Retreat Team and Nancy as we learn to recognize, and respond to, God’s steadfast and intimate love for us. 

In light of the legalization of medically assisted suicide and euthanasia (MAID) throughout the world, disciples of Jesus need to cultivate the virtues and attitudes that will allow them to embrace fully the life and death God has given. In the past, the Catholic tradition emphasized preparing for a good death in order to see the face of God. We need to rediscover that way of life. In this four part series, Father John Hibbard will share some spiritual and biblical reflections on living, illness, pain and dying in light of Jesus’s own experience of suffering and death. Saint Paul the Apostle Church, 1111 Taylor-Kidd Blvd, Kingston, ON. In the Parish Hall. Thursday evenings on Sept 19, 27, Oct 17 and 24 at 6:30 pm or Friday mornings, Sept 20, 28, Oct 18 and 25 at 10:45 am.
