This is the first of three Masses during the Year of St. Joseph where this Apostolic Blessing will occur. The other two Masses are on May 1, and December 8, 2021.

World Day of Prayer is a worldwide, ecumenical movement of Christian women. You may know it from the worship service held each year on the first Friday of March, to which all people are welcome.

The women's group at Robertson-Wesley United Church in Edmonton is planning to watch this video together, using Zoom, and we invite you to join us on our Zoom call.... It will be on Tuesday, March 9 at 1:30 p.m. To get the Zoom link, please contact the office at Robertson-Wesley United Church, through email at [email protected]

Live: Christ-Mass at St. Joseph's Basilica (December 25 at 00:00). The Nativity of the Lord. To make an offertory, visit your local parish website and click on donate. Spiritual Communion prayer:... My Jesus, I believe that You are truly present in the Holy Eucharist. I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there, and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen

We add our own thanks and praise for Debby Glaser Shoctor’s exceptional leadership to Edmonton’s Jewish community and beyond. Debby: Thank you for your friendship and collaboration on many interfaith projects over the years. Among the highlights: partnerships through the Phoenix Multifaith Society, Edmonton Interfaith Centre for Education and Action, InterFaith Housing Initiative, and our annual #Catholic-#Jewish Hanukkah/Christmas tea with Archbishop Smith. We look forward ...to finding you in new circumstances and (perhaps) new projects in the years ahead. From all of us here at the Catholic Archdiocese of Edmonton: many, many blessings to you in your retirement! Jewish Federation of Edmonton
