  • The Art of Living and Dying

  • The Art of Living and Dying
    Friday, October 25, 2024, 10:45 AM

    Repeats every Friday until October 25, 2024
    Location:
    St. Paul the Apostle Parish Hall, Kingston

    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.

  • Blanket Exercise: Renewed Catholic Commitment to Indigenous Reconciliation

  • Saturday, October 19, 2024
    Location:
    St. John Catholic Elementary School, Perth

    It has been 2 years since Pope Francis came to Canada on a penitential pilgrimage in which he apologized and called for a future of justice, healing and reconciliation for and with Canada’s Indigenous Peoples.  In a “Letter to the People of God”, the Canadian Bishops are encouraging all Catholics to continue to listen to Indigenous communities on this journey of reconciliation.
    On Saturday afternoon, October 19th you too can participate in this process of healing and reconciliation through a unique event in our parish: the Blanket Exercise.  This is an interactive way to learn the history and the relationship between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people in Canada.

    See poster for details.
