Blessing for a New Beginning

Blessings on you
As you take the next steps on your path.
May beauty and strength walk with you.
May the winds and rains anoint you.
May you experience all creation as friend.
And my gratitude
Be your constant companion
In the dance of life.

I hope that everyone had a blessed Christmas.  I spent Christmas in Toronto with my daughter and husband.  When I returned, the temperature was -40C in Whitehorse with thick ice fog.  I hope everyone else started the new year warmer.

Madam President,

We are a Diocese spread for many miles with 18 parish councils of which 16 are active. Our membership is up 6% or 39 members.

We had a very good Diocesan Convention April 13th to 15th. Our National President attended as the guest speaker at the Banquet. She was at the convention from start to finish. What a spiritual, enthusiastic and inspirational person. She attended all the meetings so that she could experience CWL in our part of the woods. Mind you, we picked her brain lots and she was just one of us. Our Provincial Spiritual Advisor, Father Terry Brock attended and gave a presentation on Saint Gianna Molla. Marilyn V………., provincial 2nd vice was also in attendance and gave a workshop on Restructuring of Standing Committees. Another two hours went by fast. Our convention ended on an enthusiastic note. » Read the rest of this entry »
