“So with old age is wisdom, and with length of days understanding.” Job 12:12 This week at Chosen, we had the great joy of visiting with the residents at Extendicare and Lakelands Village. We had fun playing BINGO and enjoyed a game of Easter Trivia in which the male team narrowly beat the ladies! We also served our home baked treats and enjoyed a time of fellowship. A big THANK YOU to Nancy Rooney and her staff for the warm welcome! We hope to return for another visit sometime soon. Next week at CHOSEN we will turn our attention to learning about God’s Mercy as we begin a 3 week unit entitled Mercy Reigns. Grade 7 and 8 students, please join us. New members are always welcome! Next meeting Tuesday April 10th 7-9pm, St Mary’s School.
On Wednesday Apr 4th, we attended the movie Paul, Apostle of Christ in Peterborough. The movie was a good reminder of the persecutions and martyrdom suffered by the first Christians in witnessing to their faith in Christ, and the action of God’s grace in his holy saints especially in the lives of St Paul and St Luke. A big THANK YOU to all who braved the spring snowstorm to make the trip to Peterborough for this event especially parent chauffeurs! High school students please join us for our next meeting which will take place on Friday, April 13th from 7-9pm at St Mary’s School when we will discuss the theory of evolution and the Catholic’s Church’s teaching. We will also enjoy a game of basketball, pizza and a time of prayer in the church with the opportunity for Confession. Please consider supporting our trip to March for Life in Ottawa with a financial donation. Envelopes are available on the boards at the back of the church. Representatives from the youth group will share more information about March for Life at next weekend’s Masses!
