Pilgrimage to Mexico Shrines & Our Lady of Guadalupe with Fr. Alvin Matias – May 4–9, 2026
2026-05-04 - 2026-05-09 | Alberta
Our Lady of Guadalupe & Mexico Shrines
A Sacred & Cultural Encounter
May 4 – 9, 2026 with spiritual director: Father Alvin Matias
This is more than a trip—it is a deeply moving encounter with Our Lady, whose miraculous image on the tilma of St. Juan Diego continues to inspire millions around the world. Standing before the tilma at the Basilica of Guadalupe—one of the most visited Marian shrines on earth—you will feel the profound presence of our Blessed Mother and the warmth of her call to each of us.
Our journey will take us beyond Mexico City, through towns and cities steeped in Catholic heritage: from the healing waters of Tlaxcala, to the miracle of Our Lady of Ocotlán, to the gold-adorned chapels of Puebla. We will walk the path of saints, martyrs, and faithful witnesses who brought light to the Americas.
Not only will your faith be nourished, but your senses will be delighted. Savor Mexico’s vibrant culture—its music, colors, markets, and world-renowned cuisine. From street-side tacos to traditional mole poblano, every meal is a celebration of community and joy.

Announcing a Bible study starting January 2026 at St. Anthony’s Church, Edmonton.
Please share this news with your network. The Knights of Columbus are facilitating Bible study on the second and fourth Saturdays of the month starting January 10 2026. The study will use The Bible Timeline: The Story of Salvation (2025), part of the Great Adventure series from Ascension Press. This study teaches Catholics how to read and understand scripture. It introduces the wonderful narrative of the Bible, from Creation to the beginning of our Church, in a way that transforms lives. Participants will gain the confidence to dive even deeper into God’s Word through the mass, their devotions, and their personal study.
The Bible Timeline uses high quality materials. Participants can choose between a colour printed or digital workbook that guides their reading of key parts of the Bible. During the meetings, the group discusses their answers to study questions, view video lessons featuring Catholic presenters, and share in fellowship.
Location: St. Anthony’s Catholic Church, 10661 82 (Whyte) Ave., Edmonton. in the Padua Room.

Esperer Contre Toute Esperance
2026-03-13 19:00 - 2026-03-14 15:00 | Alberta
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 !

Listening to Hear: Engaging the Literary Arts as a Spiritual Practice
2026-03-04 18:30 - 20:30 | Star of the North Retreat Centre, 3A St. Vital Avenue, Saint Albert, AB, T8N 1K1, Canada
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.

Lenten-Easter Journey with St. Ignatius of Loyola
2026-02-23 19:00 - 2026-04-18 20:30 | Zoom, Canada
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
