National Family & Life Week
“I am with you always.” (Matthew 28:20) Christ’s words at the time of his Ascension serve as this year’s theme for National Family and Life Week 2026, which begins on Sunday, May 10, and concludes on Sunday, May 17. Families, parishes and parish groups, ecclesial movements and associations, as well as Catholic schools, are encouraged to take time this week to celebrate their own families, express gratitude, offer forgiveness, or share meaningful moments with loved ones across generations. This week is an opportunity to uphold the value of life and to live out our calling to love one another within our homes, communities, and the world. May Christ’s enduring presence bring us consolation, hope and renewal, as we journey with him in prayer and through the Sacraments, in the knowledge that we are never truly alone. God is with us always “to the end of the age.” Additional Resources from the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCWllROedhI

Men’s Prayer Breakfast
St. Andrew's Centre 12720 111 Ave NW, Edmonton, Alberta, CanadaForming men through the Archdiocesan Pastoral Priorities The world needs courageous men to witness to Jesus Christ, men need authentic brotherhood, and families need holy husbands and fathers. To help address these needs, Knights of Columbus St. Joseph Assembly #5 is hosting “Come and Have Breakfast” (John 12-21), a Men’s Prayer Breakfast in Edmonton, on Saturday, June 20th. ALL men of ALL ages are invited to this pre-vacation ‘pitstop’, embracing COR principles and the Archdiocesan Pastoral Priorities: Refocus Catholic men on Jesus Christ Formation for Eucharistic Worship Formation for Confident Witness Formation for Service to Families & Marriage Consistent with Dr. Ryan Topping’s message: “If You Want Vocations, Rebuild Catholic Culture” the Event is dedicated to fostering an environment where men can sharpen their worship toolkit, build fellowship, and enjoy a hearty hot breakfast buffet together. The focus on cultivating a space that supports spiritual growth and authentic brotherhood, can help lay the groundwork for vocations and strengthen Catholic culture within our communities. Current registrants represent men of all ages and backgrounds including father-son pairings, clergy, seminarians, high school students, and at least one grandfather -son -grandson combo thus far. In addition to Mass, Rosary and Holy Eucharistic Adoration, attendees will enjoy two keynote addresses: “I Saw You” (John 1:48): Evergreen Catholic Schools chaplain Mike Landry looks at the parallels between Jesus' call of Nathanael at the beginning of John's Gospel with his own story of faith: how through the twists and turns of life, Jesus was there and guided him to 29 years (and counting) in the service of the Church and Catholic Youth Ministry. “Evangelization Intelligence": Burn The Boats Catholic Ministries founder Kevin Philip will focus on cultivating a keen sense of how, when, and where to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus, consistent with the Archdiocesan principle of becoming a "Confident Witness." You are encouraged to invite your son, grandson, father, nephew, brother, or a friend. Online registration is now available at: events.insogan.org/MB. Please note that seating is limited to 160 participants. Get your tickets now.
