The Stories of Our Lives Retreat
Star of the North Retreat Centre 3A St. Vital Avenue, Saint Albert, AB, CanadaThe retreat runs from Friday at 6:30 to Sunday at 1 pm. Join spiritual director Wenda Salomons in exploring the stories of your life. Using simple, arts-based activities, you will be invited to recall, consider, imagine, and reflect on some of the stories that have shaped your life. This process will give you new insights into how you might approach the past, the present, and the future in ways that are soul-affirming and spiritually nurturing. Interspersed with distinct periods of rest, this creative weekend will help your spirit grow. No previous art-making experience necessary. Come to play and to rest! This retreat also includes an evening of musical storytelling with Edmonton singer/songwriter Randy Ritz on Friday.

Glen Argan Book Launch at Star of the North: ‘Jesus Christ: The Heart of Vatican II’
Star of the North Retreat Centre 3A St. Vital Avenue, Saint Albert, AB, CanadaGlen Argan is holding the book launch for Jesus Christ, the Heart of Vatican II at the Star of the North!
More than 60 years after the Second Vatican Council concluded in 1965, its teachings remain essential to Catholic renewal, says Glen Argan, author of Jesus Christ: The Heart of Vatican II.
At the heart of that renewal is not simply liturgical reform or changes to Church structures, but a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ that transforms how Catholics live their faith and serve others, says Argan, longtime editor of the Western Catholic Reporter, the newspaper of the Edmonton Archdiocese.
The book grew out of a series of articles on Vatican II that Argan wrote for the WCR. Archbishop Joseph MacNeil, then retired, encouraged him to compile them into a book. The project soon expanded into a deeper exploration of the council’s teachings.
