Workaholics Anonymous
Star of the North Retreat Centre 3A St. Vital Avenue, Saint Albert, AB, CanadaDo you ever relax? Does your boss praise your willingness to go the “extra mile” but is unaware that your life is rushed and over-committed? Maybe your health is taking second place to your job and your family wishes you had more time for them? Are you missing a connection to your spiritual side? Perhaps you are burnt out and have lost all desire to do anything. Have you almost forgotten what play and relaxation feel like? These stresses are not just associated with paid work, but can also surface as hobbies, exercise, housework, or just trying to save the world. Here’s a solution If this sounds like your life, you may benefit by meeting with people who share these problems and are finding a solution in Workaholics Anonymous. We invite you to attend our 12 Step open meetings. We gather to share our experience, strength and hope for a life of serenity and joy. All are welcome! Meetings are held 1st and 3rd Tuesdays of the month, 7 – 8 p.m. Location: Star of the North Retreat Centre, 3A St. Vital Avenue in St. Albert. A Zoom link is also provided for those who are unable to attend in-person.

Is Life Always Worth Living? Responding to the Rise of “MAID” in our Society
Our Lady of Perpetual Help, Sh Pk 13 Brower Dr, Sherwood Park, Alberta, CanadaHybrid EventPresenter: Amanda Achtman 6:15 pm Mass celebrated by Archbishop Stephen Hero 7:00 pm Presentation Many people think that there are circumstances under which it is reasonable for someone to ask someone else to end their life. In the jurisdictions where euthanasia is legal, there has tended to be an increase in the number of people opting for it. Some of the reasons listed in government reports are due to cancer, chronic illness, or disability. Does life lose its sense in the face of suffering? Or, is life always worth living? Come get inspired to encounter, understand, and overcome the euthanasia temptation. Filled with stories, this talk will equip you to better engage in these conversations and experiences in your own life because this concerns all of us. No cost. No registration required. Everyone welcome! April 21, 7-9 pm Our Lady of Perpetual Help Parish 13 Brower Drive, Sherwood Park Livestream: https://youtube.com/live/MnAZldmKs-c
