6 - Fostering a Spirituality of Mercy: Lenten Series 2016
2:00 PM-4:00 PM 03/06/16 Cathedral of the Holy Family, Nelson Road, Saskatoon, SK, Canada If the world needs the Father’s mercy, then our call is to embody it. The spiritual and corporal acts have long been given as a guide, yet feeding the hungry, burying the dead, sharing our knowledge and bearing wrongs patiently are overwhelming undertakings that often elude us. Spend some time this Lent in your own experience, and spot the little ways for injecting mercy that will change your heart and overflow into the lives of others. Details:Join Leah Perrault on Sunday, March 6, 2016 at the Cathedral of the Holy Family from 2:00 to 4:00. All are welcome.
| 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 - Red Deer Catholic Schools Faith Day
All day 03/10/16 Red Deer Catholic Schools is hosting their annual faith day. I will be presenting two sessions for their teachers and staff:Fishers of the Indifferent, Disillusioned, and Skeptical: Building Disciples in the Age after Cultural Christianity It might be a bold assertion, but what if cultural Christianity is dead? Though many of us know that our society is no longer dominantly Christian, many of our approaches to faith education and ministry have not changed. How do we grow our own faith at the same time that we reach out to the indifferent, disillusioned and skeptical? The call to be fishers of people remains; it’s time to look a new ways of building disciples, in our own hearts and homes, and in Catholic schools and classrooms. Walking with Pope Francis: Making Merciful Classrooms If mercy is God’s name, as Pope Francis so lovingly proposes, then how often do our children hear His name in our classrooms? Does our presentation of God lead to increased knowledge about God, or an invitation to encounter His merciful love? Drawing on the traditional corporal and spiritual acts of mercy, we will look together at the ways that classrooms can become of a school of mercy for kids longing for love.

13 | 14 - A Spirituality of Mercy: Sharing Compassion without Compromising your Principles
7:00 PM-9:00 PM 03/14/16 Mercy is the way God loves and the way we are invited to love alongside Him. Sometimes, it seems like mercy is used as an excuse to set aside our principles, but God’s mercy never sets aside the truth. We will reflect together on the mercy we have received, the mercy God offers and how we can grow into loving like God does – with mercy.
