On the feast of Saint Marguerite Bourgeoys we were blessed at Saint Marguerite Bourgeoys School in Innisfail, AB, to have masses as we now have a chapel. At 9:15 a.m., we had students, staff, some parents and parishioners from grades K-5. At 10:00 a.m. grades 6-9. The students in grades 2 and 8 did the ministries and I did the homily. Sister Paula Maher and I are so blessed to be part of the celebrations.
The timing for the Jubilee Year of Mercy called by Pope Francis is clearly a response to the signs of our times. Our times are replete with the savagery of war, the horror of trafficking, the scourge of poverty, the destruction of our planet, and the staggering numbers of refugees as a result of all these factors.
