Parishioner Update - Our Lady of the Rosary New Church Project. On behalf of the New Church build-ing steering committee, I would like to share with all our Parishioners an update on where our project cur-rently sits. At the end of June, along with 2 of our com-mittee members, we made a presentation to the Diocese Building Commission, which included the Bishop and the Diocese Chief Financial Officer. This presentation was a request for “approval in principle’ to construct the new Church. It outlined, in very general terms, what we wanted to build and how we are hoping to pay for the construction by the sale of surplus lands. The presentation was well received and I am excited to re-port that we received our “approval in principle” to progress to the next phase, which will be an application for re-zoning of all our land. We are hoping that a suc-cessful re-zoning will then allow us to offer surplus land for sale, and in the best-case scenario, the pro-ceeds of that land sale will fund the building of our new Church and Parish Hall. We expect that the re-zoning process, which requires consent of Langford Council, should be complete by the end of the year. As with any project of this magnitude, funding is always an issue and any donations to our New Church Build-ing Fund are always very much appreciated.
Cleaning team for our church needs your help. Our cleaning team needs volunteers to make sure our church looks clean and beautiful. If you can help please come every Thursday at 10:00 am or contact Parish office for more info.

Our Lady of the Rosary Parish Building
Our Lady of the Rosary was named one of beneficiaries of the estate of Kathleen Mary West. She was part of our parish family for many years. Mrs. Kathleen Mary West passed away on January 14, 2016. Our Lady of the Rosary Building Fund is designated to receive 81,668.49. We have invested the funds in the parish savings account (MIC) to pay back a portion of the debt which we had taken for buying properties for a new church. We are filled with gratitude for Mrs. Kathleen Mary West planning and foresight to give a significant donation. I know that you join me in giving thanks for this unexpected but much needed gift, and that we will carry on with the good works that Kathleen Mary West supported so generously. Mass for the repose of the soul of Kathleen Mary West will be held on Sunday October 15th at 10:30 am.

How well do you know the Catholic faith? Well, let's find out..."
We heard a lot of stories about saints. My question is: Are we all supposed to become “saints”? A) No. Only a few people can be a saint. B) Our purpose is to find the way to heaven and sainthood is not necessary to find the way to heaven. C) Yes. The purpose of our life is to be united with God in love and to correspond entirely to God’s wishes. We
should allow God “to live his life in us” (Mother Teresa). That is what it means to be holy: a “saint”.
How well do you know the Catholic faith? Well, let's find out..." This is a very good question. Can someone earn heaven just by good works? A) No, No man can gain heaven merely by his own efforts. The fact that we are saved is God’s grace, pure and simple, which nevertheless demands the free cooperation of the individual. [2006-2011, 2025-2027] Although it is grace and faith through which we are saved, nevertheless, our good works ought to show the love produced by God’s action in us. B) Yes, of course, nobody can help us. We simply need to earn it, without any help. C) Really only a few people will be saved.
