SUMMARY:Glen Argan Book Launch at Star of the North: 'Jesus Christ: The Heart of Vatican II'
DESCRIPTION:Glen Argan is holding the book launch for Jesus Christ\, the Heart of Vatican II at the Star of the North!\nMore 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. \nAt 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. \nThe 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. \n“I thought I could go much deeper into the council’s teachings that I had in the series of articles\, so I attempted to do that with Jesus Christ: The Heart of Vatican II\,” Argan said. \nArgan encourages parishes to put that vision into practice through outreach to people experiencing poverty\, reconciliation with Indigenous communities affected by residential schools\, contemplative prayer\, Scripture study and greater lay participation in parish renewal. \nUltimately\, he hopes Catholics will move beyond longstanding disputes about liturgical changes and rediscover the council’s deeper purpose. \nHis advice to readers is straightforward: “First\, study and pray frequently with the Gospels\, Pauline letters and the Psalms. Second\, pray for guidance in applying the Gospel in the events of your daily life.” \nFor Catholics today\, Vatican II remains a continuing mission: to encounter Christ and recognize him in others. \nJesus Christ: The Heart of Vatican II is online through Indigo\, Amazon\, Barnes & Noble\, and Friesen Press Bookstore. It is also available at the Newman Theological College bookstore and St. John of God Books & Church Supplies. \nFor more information\, visit Glen Argan’s website glenargan.com.

SUMMARY:L'Advent: Temps d’Attente de la Création
DESCRIPTION:« Avent » qui signifie ‘avènement’ est le temps ‘d’Attente’ de la Naissance du Christ en notre Humanité. Et nous nous réjouissons avec ce bébé\, l’Enfant-Dieu\, qui nous rappelle à chacun et chacune cette merveille de l’Incarnation d’un Dieu qui se fait l’un de nous. \nMais ce temps liturgique est aussi ‘l’Attente’ du retour du Christ à la fin des temps. \nPendant cette retraite à partir du poème de la Création en Genèse 1\, nous essaierons de découvrir comment la Création est toujours en ‘Attente’ et qu’elle est même « en travail d’enfantement » comme dit St Paul dans la lettre aux Romains 8\,22. \n« Nous le savons bien\, la création tout entière gémit\, elle passe par les douleurs d’un enfantement qui dure encore. Et elle n’est pas seule. Nous aussi\, en nous-mêmes\, nous gémissons ; nous avons commencé à recevoir l’Esprit Saint\, mais nous attendons notre adoption et la rédemption de notre corps. Car nous avons été sauvés\, mais c’est en espérance ; » \nVendredi 11 Décembre 2026 \n\n6:30 pm              Session I (18h30)\n\nSamedi 12 Décembre 2026 \n\n8h00 pm             Petit-Déjeuner\n10:00 am            Session II\n11:00 am            pause\n11:30 am           Session III\n12:15 pm            Lunch\n2:30 pm             Session IV (14h30)\n3:30 pm               pause         (15h30)\n4:00>5 pm   Session V  (16h00 -> 17h00)\n5:30pm                Souper         (17h30)\n6:30>7:15 pm    Session VI (18h30 -> 19h15)
