Catholics Celebrate Across Canada

The Canadian Catholic Organization for

Development and Peace (D&P) will be

celebrating its 50th Anniversary in 2017. To

commemorate 50 years of solidarity work with

countries of the Global South, DEVELOPMENT

AND PEACE has launched the stitching of a

‘Solidarity Quilt’ that is travelling the country

from West to East (British Columbia to Ontario)

and from East to West (Newfoundland to

Quebec). The nation-wide pilgrimage was

launched on Ash Wednesday, February 10, 2016

with the first squares of the quilt stitched in St.

John’s, Newfoundland and in Victoria, British

Columbia. Since then each Canadian diocese has been invited to add a square to the quilt as it

passes through. All are invited to attend a

special Pilgrimage Mass which will be

celebrated by Bishop Marcel Damphousse,

on Sunday November 6 at 11:00 AM at Ste.

Anne de Pins Church in Sudbury, when the

two quilt pieces from the Anglophone and

Francophone D&P Diocesan Councils of the

Diocese of Sault Ste. Marie will be added to

the growing quilt. When the patches complete

their pilgrimage just before Easter of 2017, they

will be sewn together to create a huge quilt; a

work of human hands that will represent the

solidarity that has been lived by Canadians and

people of the Global South throughout the 50

year history of DEVELOPMENT AND PEACE.

It is our hope that approval will be received from the Diocese for the balance

of the additional funding necessary to complete the first phase of the

‘Gathering Place’ and a sod turning for this Fall. An important part of the

fundraising necessary will be for all of us to take an active role in driving the

‘Journey’ Lottery to success. We will be initiating a Take-a-Book and Sell-a-

Book campaign on October 22nd for which we will require additional

volunteers and full participation in taking and selling a book of lottery tickets.

This is an important initiative to make the ‘Journey’ and the ‘Gathering Place’ a

reality. Now is the time! If you would like to start early, contact Louise Bichler

at 705.945.8259 or Jessica at 705.450.4483

Thirtieth Week of Ordinary Time

On the Thirtieth Sunday of Ordinary Time we have Jesus' dramatic story of the Pharisee and the tax collector standing in the temple, the Pharisee relieved that “I am not like the rest of humanity” and the tax collector with eyes down, begging for mercy. “Whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”

Thursday is the Feast of Saints Simon and Jude, Apostles, with its own special readings.

Luke's Gospel offers us lessons this week about humility. We see a vivid example of the compassion. Jesus heals a woman on the Sabbath over the protests of the synagogue leaders. “This daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound for eighteen years now, ought she not to have been set free on the Sabbath day from this bondage?” He compares the Kingdom of God to a tiny mustard seed which flourishes into a large bush and he compares it to yeast a woman uses to make bread, mixing until the whole batch was leavened. He cautions his followers to be humble: “For behold, some are last who will be first, and some are first who will be last.” When Pharisees warn Jesus that Herod wants to kill him, he warns the people of Jerusalem: “how many times I yearned to gather your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, but you were unwilling!” Jesus cures a man with dropsy under the critical eyes of the Pharisees. He turns to those at the table and tells them a story about guests at a banquet scrambling for places of honor. He tells them to take the lowest place, “For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.” On the Thirty-first Sunday of Ordinary Time we have Luke's marvelous account of Jesus' encounter with the wealthy tax collector, Zacchaeus. Watching from a tree, he is invited by Jesus: “Zacchaeus, come down quickly, for today I must stay at your house.”
