Do 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. |

Since 1993, over 200,000 laypeople, clergy, and religious across the globe have embarked on the Called & Gifted™ Discernment Process to uncover how the Holy Spirit is uniquely at work in their lives. This powerful discernment process helps Christians recognize the charisms—spiritual gifts—they’ve been given not just for their own sake, but to represent Christ and be channels of God's goodness for others. Charisms are not reserved for a few; they are for every baptized Christian. As the Catechism reminds us, “All charisms ought to be exercised in the service of God” (CCC 2003). PART 1: Introductory Workshop The Called and Gifted Introductory Workshop lays the foundation for the beginning of discernment. The workshop introduces Church teaching on charisms and includes taking the Catholic Spiritual Gifts Inventory. Throughout the workshop, you'll explore: The unique role of each Catholic, and the local parish, in the Church’s mission to the world. Why charisms are essential in helping laypeople serve others and build vibrant Christian communities. The signs and characteristics of 24 common charisms. How discovering and using your charisms can transform your life, your parish, and the world around you.

Every year since 2019, the Star of the North has hosted our own mini Camino, a spiritual pilgrimage and fundraising walk. Participants walk a chosen route—either together or independently, for up to 5 km. The walk is intended to be more than simply a physical hike: it is an opportunity to slow down, pray, reflect, connect with nature, and be intentional about your spiritual journey. |
