Stewardship Message
Weekday Masses and Intentions
In today’s second reading, St.
Paul tells us that he has learned to
be comfortable either with being
well fed or going hungry, having
plenty or being in need. One
perspective on Paul’s attitude is
learning the secret to being
content with less! This is trusting
in God, and one of the principle virtues of the Christian
disciple and steward. “Live simply… so that others may simply live”
Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta

Adoration Chapel
To be able to discover the actual will of the Lord in our lives
always involves the following: a receptive listening to the Word of
God and the Church, fervent and constant prayer, recourse to a
wise spiritual guide, and a faithful discernment of the gifts and
talents given by God, as well as the diverse social and historic
situations in which one lives.
—Blessed John Paul II
There are several chapel hours waiting for the faithful to sign, call
Josie 604-266-6131.
Did You Know?....The monogram ‘IHS’ that often appears on
clerical vestments or sacred objects is a shortened representation
(including the first and last letters) of the name of Jesus as it is
written in Greek – “ Iesous”. St. Ignatius of Loyola adopted the
monogram as the symbol of the Society of Jesus (Jesuits) that he
founded in 1540 (Catholic Encyclopedia, 2009).

Jesuit Order is renowned for its scientific
accomplishments and achievements in a number of disciplines,
including astronomy and linguistics. Seismology was at one time
so extensively studied by Jesuits that it came to be known as the
“Jesuit science”. Approximately 35 craters on the moon are also
named after Jesuit scientists and mathematicians (How the Catholic
Church Built Western Civilization, Thomas E. Woods Jr (Regency
Publishing), 2005).
