Apple App Made For 'The New Mass'
(Article originally available at thefaithexplained.com)
The New English Translation of the Roman Missal has been approved by Pope Benedict XVI. What we'll have is a more accurate
translation of the official Latin text. More elegant and evocative of the
biblical texts from which it is drawn, it will help us all to worship God and
understand the Mass in a fresh new way. (Read more...)

Scandal, Canon Law and the
Roman Catholic Church
submitted by Michael Averyt
During the past few months, several people have contacted the Adult Faith Education Office concerned about what the media has reported regarding the Church’s role in dealing with accusations of sexual abuse on the part of her clergy. Some are quick to condemn the Church for failing to act appropriately. While the Church has much to repent of, as our Pope has made very clear, not all of the accusations have been justified or fair. These accusations have been made primarily due to a misunderstanding of the Church’s Code of Canon Law, its purposes and functions.

St. Theresa Pilgrimage in Wakaw, SK
You are invited to the 84th Annual Pilgrimage, a spiritual journey through celebrations of sacraments, prayers and contemplation on the life of St. Therese of the Child Jesus and the Holy Face.
I wish everyone to join this year's pilgrimage in solidarity with the universal Church in celebrating the Year for Priests. St. Therese had understood her vocation to pray for priests, to be "an apostle to apostles". During her canonical examination before she professed her religious vows, she was asked why she had come to Carmel. She answered, "I came to save souls, and especially to pray for priests." Let us join together and be inspired by St. Therese to pray for priests. Hope to see you all.
United with you in prayers, Fr. Roque S. Concepcion, Parish Priest, St. Theresa Church, Wakaw
