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. November 20 th : Christ the King Catholics celebrate the sacrament of Reconciliation because we recognise that sometimes we fail to do as we ought and because we believe in God s mercy and forgiveness. The priest can help you and you can trust the Holy Spirit to guide you. Even if you don t know how you can change your life, showing up makes you open to the grace that the sacrament brings. The Diocese of Calgary invites you to re-discover the meaning of the sacrament of Reconciliation in your life. Action: Do you celebrate the sacrament of Reconciliation regularly? If so, share your positive experience with someone this week. If you are afraid to go to Reconciliation, speak about your reservations with a priest or someone you know who does participate in the Sacrament. A Special Book has been set up in the Church, (east side, near the altar) for everyone to sign the names of your deceased loved ones. They will be remembered at all Masses during the Month of November. 2017 Sunday Missals Sunday missals are available for sale, they are $3.50 each and can be found on the table in the Narthex. *Missals for Young Catholics: $7.50 Lighting of the Crèche (Start your Advent by preparing the manger for Jesus) Please join us at St. Michael s on Saturday November 26 starting @ 5:00pm.
