Upcoming Events and Activities
Even with the Extraordinary Year of Mercy behind us, doors across our Diocese remain open for you
to experience the peace, love, and joy brought by participating in the sacrament of Reconciliation.
In addition to the regular parish schedule, the sacrament of Reconciliation will be available at
parishes throughout the Diocese of Calgary all the Wednesdays of Advent, from 7:30-8:30 p.m.
December 11th: 3rd Sunday of Advent
With God anything is possible. There is the danger to think that God will never forgive you or
that you cannot change yourself or the world. In Advent we are reminded that we do not need to do everything
ourselves. Jesus has ransomed us and we respond to the psalmist by crying out: “Lord, come and save us.” It
may be that the healing or the change for which we long does not come quickly enough for us. Advent is also
about waiting. In Advent we have to be patient and trust that the coming of the Lord is near. With God the blind
can see, the lame walk, the sick are cured, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the poor receive good news!
The Lord continues to do these things for us but we have to put aside all substitutes for God in order to see and
receive the healing promised through Jesus Christ. Action: Look for the goodness of God in your life, in the people
around you, and in the world .

established in 1967 by the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops in response to Pope Paul VI's encyclical letter Populorum Progressio,
which says that Development is the new word for Peace. Peace must be built daily, and it must strive towards a more perfect justice among
human beings (Populorum Progressio, 76). That founding principle of Development and Peace is still maintained today. This is as relevant
today, as it was 50 years ago. Mark your calendar and join us in this celebration. More details to follow soon.

FERTILITYCARE CENTER OF CALGARY
The Creighton Model Fertility Care System Practitioner education program will be held in Calgary with Phase I in April 2017 and Phase II

women to monitor and maintain their gynecologic and reproductive health. The CrMS provides comprehensive, professional services
through individualized follow-up, standardized teaching tools, and ongoing research. The CrMS is the first standardized system of the
menstrual and fertility cycle biomarkers, which strongly links and networks the ability to achieve or avoid pregnancy successfully. It is
based on 37 years of research by Dr. Thomas Hilgers, Ob/Gyn of the Pope Paul VI Institute for the Study of Human Reproduction. It is
versatile and effective at any stage of a woman’s reproductive life, and is the foundation in helping women treat various gynecological and
infertility issues. Post-secondary program completion is a pre-requisite to train as a Fertility Care Practitioner. For more information on

Stewardship Reflection:
December 11, 2016 - 3rd
Sunday of Advent
“You too must be
patient. Make your hearts firm,
because the coming of the Lord
is at hand.” James 5:8
Patience is another one of those things many of us
struggle with. We want things to go according to our
plan and our schedule. Any change brings anxiety
and fear. Through daily prayer we better align
ourselves with God’s will and His plan, which is far
better than anything we can come up with on our
own.
http://archstl.org/stewardship/page/bulletin-inserts
All parishioners are invited to join in the prayer of the Divine Mercy Chaplet on the 3rd Sunday of every month at St. James Church, beginning at 10:50am, next one Dec 18th.
"The Christmas Liturgy Schedule is now
available. All ministers are asked
to sign their names where they
can help. The deadline is
December 18th."
Dear St. James Parish,
Ecole Good Shepherd
School cordially invites you
to share your Faith with us
during Jan. 16-20th for our
annual Student Faith Week.
We are looking for volunteers to lead a 30
minute session of your choice for one
afternoon (12:45-3:00)or more if you so
choose. There will be three sessions that you
would present repeating the same session
three times. Each day is a different grade.
If you are interested, need suggestions, or
have questions please email Jacealyn
Hempel at [email protected] stating
the day or days and the topic you would
like to present. There will be more info to
follow as the dates get closer. Thank you
and we look forward to your presentation!
As the busyness of Christmas
approaches we kindly ask parishioners
to abstain from parking on the roadways
and emergency lanes. This prevents the
traffic from flowing out smoothly to the North and
to the South, causing people to get frustrated and to
drive a little more hectic than usual, which in turn
puts our Pedestrians (especially the little ones) at
risk. Please be courteous, drive slow and
use our extended parking lot on the East
side. We all wish to have a safe, Merry
and Peaceful Christmas!
Senior’s Group All seniors are invited for
fellowship & fun on Wednesday,
January 18th, 2:00pm, @ St. James
