Take Your Soul to Work Day: An Evening of Encouragement for Entrepreneurs
Star of the North Retreat Centre 3A St. Vital Avenue, Saint Albert, AB, CanadaJoin us for an evening of inspiration especially for entrepreneurs of all sorts. Cody Lakevold seemingly had it all, until Iife got in the way. A central component of his story centres around a return to God. Cody is an experienced speaker and has written a book about his experiences - Longship: From Tragedy to Triumph. It is the true story of healing, reckoning, and rebuilding. It traces Cody’s journey through grief, resilience, and ultimately transformation—not by his own strength, but by forging a new path. The book is recommended reading for this session.

Corpus Christi - Edmonton 2707 34 St NW, Edmonton, Alberta, CanadaApril 23, 9 am – 4 pm Corpus Christi Parish, 2707-34 Street NW, Edmonton Facilitated by: Amanda Achtman Can a Catholic who is considering euthanasia (“MAID”) receive Anointing of the Sick and Last Rites? Can a Catholic who dies by “MAID” receive a Catholic funeral and burial? Why is it wrong to be present at a euthanasia death? What is palliative care? Come explore these questions and more! The workshop will focus on equipping clergy and laity through targeted training, robust catechesis, and hope-oriented pastoral approaches to counter “MAiD's” cultural normalization, while upholding Church teaching on the sanctity of life, accompaniment in suffering, and natural death. Emphasis will be on proactive, positive witness rather than solely reactive prohibition. No cost. Lunch provided. Registration is required.
