COME
HOLY SPIRIT
Are you ready? Pentecost!!!!!
Although there are no Tim’s
TidBits, he did send along this week’s Lighterside,
“A Deck of Cards”
Please see Graham's
Corner for a link to a short article by Peter Kreeft entitled
"The Living Christ is the Point of it All", as well
as a link to other articles available on the "Ignatius Insight"
website. Secondly, for links to the text of Pope Benedict's homilies
and remarks during his visit to Poland from May 25 to 28, 2006,
including the Pope's remarks at Aushwitz.
Our Archbishop agreed to stay on one more year
… Are you praying for his replacement? Let’s all pray that God’s
Will be done and that Mother Mary’s right bishop will shepherd
us here! |

You already know that we have been raising money to pay off Donna
Marie's debt so she may join the Dominican Nuns of the Perpetual
Rosary. A big "Thank You" to all who have contributed
so far. Our current goal is to raise $12,000 which is the balance
of a debt consolidation loan.
Here's your chance to have fun and make a difference…
Think of this as Donna Marie's stag/shower/wedding/going away
party all rolled into one…
Please join us at Our Lady of Fatima Church Hall (153 Woodroffe
Avenue at Richmond Road) in Ottawa on Saturday, June 3rd for a
euchre tournament at 7:00pm. The cost is only $10 and there is
an opportunity for a cash prize!
We will be having a dessert potluck, a silent auction, a "50/50"
Draw, other board games, (for those who are not euchre players)
in addition to hearing Donna Marie's story of her joyful journey.
Mark the date on your calendar...Saturday, June 3rd! Spread the
good news and invite your friends/family to a fun event in support
of Donna Marie. If you cannot make the evening and would still
like to make a financial contribution, you can mail your cheque

I was wondering if you would be so kind as to
post my message on Virtual Ministry. My friend, a practicing Catholic
mom, had to leave a bad situation and move into Nepean Housing
recently with her two small daughters ages 15 months and five
years.
I asked her to send me her "wish"
list of items she might need/want. They are: phone, radio, mirror(s),
clock, book shelf, pantry-type cupboard, microwave, office chair,
small table (suitable for crafts), dresser, lamp(s), curtains,
assistance putting curtains up, outdoor baby swing, bed frames:
single, double and queen (have mattresses), bed side table, summer
clothes for oldest daughter (size 8-10)
If anyone has an item or two listed above that
they don't need anymore and would like to pass it along to this
family, please contact me, Kim Hanekom by e-mail at Kim.Hanekom@gmail.com.
I am a parishioner of St. Mary's Parish in Ottawa and have been
for about eight years now.
Thanks in advance and God bless you.
Editor’s note: Thank you Kim for once again answering
HIS call, and OF COURSE this is to be posted in VM. FOLKS! Come
on and let’s be CHURCH. Remember to visit our http://virtualministry.com/contrib_pages/Testimonials.htm
page to read of past successes, and lets overwhelm this friend of
Kim’s. |

Greetings all,
In order to help recover some of the costs of the conference,
I am offering a special promotional offer on the Humanae Vitae
Conference CDs and DVDs.
For the month of June only, I will ship you your choice of the
Conference CD or DVD packages for a $99 donation. You can address
two of the most pressing issues of our times with one shot: contraception
and John's dwindling bank account :)
If anyone is interested, please email me at life@therosarium.ca.
Be sure to mention the "Virtual Ministry" offer.
Regards,
John Pacheco
The Rosarium
Editor’s note … Folks – once again
we sit back and watch one of our extended family practice what
he preaches. John doesn’t just talk about it – HE DOES IT. Forward
this week’s message to many others. They may not be aware of this
special offer.

The
head of the Family Coalition Party (Ontario's ONLY pro-life, pro-family
political party) will be in town on Monday to present the case to
support this party in the next provincial election.
It would be great to have a few people out to
his presentation. He will be recruiting candidates for the Ottawa
area (ever wanted to go into politics?) and also drumming up support
in general.
In the next election, we will face a stark choice
between three radically pro-abortion and anti-marriage party leaders
(Howard Hampton / Dalton McGuinty / John Tory) It is important
that we have some candidates of character, standing for truth.
The Family Coalition party runs candidates in
ridings where there are no other pro-life candidates from the
mainstream parties. This ensures that those who respect life have
someone to vote for.
If you'd like to find out more, here are the details:
Date: June 5, 7PM
Place: St. Ignatius Parish, 518 Donald St.

Fr. Lindsay Harrison had provided new editor,
Sue Atkinson with a 60-question quiz … go have a look and see
how you do
Go back four years ago to read about Bas’ successful
recovery – he still drinks Pepsi instead of coke though. I liked
Graham’s link to Tolkien:
