With a variety of interesting and fun activities, students
will be able to share their experiences and knowledge with others while learning more about living in Sault Ste.

The Right Honourable Justin Trudeau
Prime Minister of Canada, House of Commons, Ottawa, ON K1A 0A6
Prime Minister,
On 8 March 2017 the Government of Canada announced $650 million over three years for
“sexual and reproductive health and rights”. According to a backgrounder provided to the media, a major part of the funding will be toward removing “judicial and legal barriers to the fulfilment of sexual and reproductive health and rights”. As cited by the Globe and Mail on 9
March 2017, a federal official has confirmed “these barriers include the anti-abortion laws in
many countries.”
Such a policy is a reprehensible example of Western cultural imperialism and an attempt to
impose misplaced but so-called Canadian “values” on other nations and people. It exploits
women when they are most in need of care and support, and tragically subverts true prenatal
health care. It negates our country’s laudable efforts to welcome refugees and offer protection
to the world’s homeless, when the youngest of human lives will instead be exterminated and
the most vulnerable of human beings discarded as unwanted human tissue.
Your policy and vision, contrary to the fundamental ethic of protecting the most vulnerable
and assisting the weakest, are in conflict with the principles instinctively shared by the majority of the world’s population and consistently upheld by the Catholic Church: to defend and
protect human life from conception to natural death.
On behalf of all the bishops of Canada I thank you for your consideration and I remain
(Most Rev.) Douglas Crosby, OMI
Bishop of Hamilton, President of the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops
In our diocese there has been a change when the Share Lent collection is taken up. This year and in all future years it will be
taken up the fifth Sunday of Lent . This year April 2nd.
The Good Friday collection has been restored to support the Holy
Land.
We now have joined the rest of Canada taking up the Holy Land
collection on Good Friday. Bishop Marcel has a video on our
website explaining this change.
