Lent is a time to deepen our relationship with God and broaden our response to the needs of others. Join companions in this spiritual practice over eight weeks, beginning just after Ash Wednesday and concluding two weeks after Easter. Our resource will be Tim Muldoon’s The Ignatian Workout for Lent, in which he reminds us that “we don’t make ourselves spiritual people by working hard” but rather by “removing obstacles to God’s grace.” This intentional spiritual journey will include a daily scripture passage (gospel texts from the Passion and Easter stories), accompanied by a brief reflection, written prayer, and call to action (Monday-Friday). It will be supported by a bi-weekly facilitated group time of communal prayer and sharing online and an hour-long one-on-one spiritual direction session online on alternate weeks. Note: Participants are responsible for acquiring their own books. Facilitated by Faith Nostbakken and Carol Sebastian February 23 – April 18, 2026 4 biweekly group gatherings (via Zoom): Monday, Feb, 23, Mar. 9, 23, & Apr 6, 7:00-8:30 pm 4 biweekly spiritual direction sessions (via Zoom) as individually scheduled Space is limited, register early. Save the Date: We are having a Parish Mission at Assumption Parish on March 1 @ 6 p.m. and March 2 @ 6:30 p.m. with Sr. Philomena and Sr. Catherine, religious sisters of the Queenship of Mary Community based out of Ottawa.

Poems are often mysterious things. They can confound and confuse. And yet, because mystery is often embedded in poems, they are rife with material for contemplative practice. In these four sessions, we will explore a few poems using a modified lectio divina. Following this activity, we will have an opportunity for personal poetry writing, using simple structures and easily accessible writing prompts. Sharing is completely optional. Each session will introduce a different poetic form and writing prompts. No experience with poetry reading/writing is necessary to benefit from these sessions.

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 |
