Espérer Contre Toute Espérance
L’année Jubilaire de l’Espérance lancée par le Pape François s’est achevée le 28 Décembre 2025 en la fête de la Sainte Famille. Mais notre monde a toujours besoin d’Espérance car il semble être malade, chaotique… Il semble à la merci des volontés de domination, d’ambition, de personnes et de groupes qui désirent faire toujours plus de profits sans tenir compte des personnes plus pauvres et des équilibres nécessaires pour la vie des êtres humains. Comment ne pas perdre l’espoir, l’espérance devant des situations qui nous dépassent et devant lesquelles nous nous sentons démuni-e-s ? Durant cette retraite, nous allons essayer de voir comment L’Espérance peut guider et même habiter notre vie de chaque jour : Espérant contre toute Espérance, Abraham crut… Espérant contre toute Espérance, Jésus est ressuscité ! www.starofthenorth.ca 780-459-5511 execassistant@starofthenorth.ca Maison de retraites etoile du nord, 3A St Vital Ave St Albert, en Français du Vendredi 13 mars 19 h au Samedi 14 mars 15 h Live-in $190 Commuter $120 Online $90 Avec Sr. Catherine Grasswill et Caroline Maillet-Rao

Development & Peace ‘Train the Trainer’ Workshop
This workshop examines the Catholic Social Teachings (CST) using the Church’s “See, Judge, Act” model. Participants identify local and world justice issues (see); discern how these issues make them feel and how their reactions resonate with individual and Church values (judge); and most importantly, commit to using their God given gifts to make a difference (act). This activity provides participants with faith-based tools for discernment to engage with the ethical situations they face in their day-to-day lives and beyond. Mar 19, 2026 05:00 PM MT Development and Peace - Caritas Canada offers many enriching resources to help share the Catholic Social Teachings (CSTs) with people of all ages. Recently, the "CST Tree" workshop has been gaining popularity, creating a "good problem" for animators trying to keep up with the growing demand. Our hope is to create a list of "CST Tree facilitators" who are equipped to lead this workshop in local schools and parishes across the country. Participants in this Zoom session will be invited to become one of these facilitators of the CST Tree Workshop. However, this workshop is open to anyone who wishes to learn more about the activity. No commitment required! REGISTER HERE
