As a community, we pray
That the Lord will welcome into His Kingdom

For these brothers and sisters, their neighbours and friends, their families and those who love them and those who provide for their care
- For Lori Weinkauf who is having a vascular intervention. We pray for the procedure to go well and provide Lorie and family comfort and hope.

- For Gerry Weinkauf who will undergo double knee replacement surgery shortly. We pray for Gerry’s complete recovery, mobility and satisfaction.
- For Eileen and Reb Materi, dear friends of the Saskatchewan District community. Reb is a former Oblate. Both are having multiple health issues. We pray for their restored health.
- For Dominique and her daughter Amelia. Amelia has been very sick with a kidney disease. We pray for mother and daughter for healing, support and good health
- For John from Eastern Ontario, who is suffering from severe depression. We pray that he gets the help and support he needs to sustain him, through Jesus Christ Our Lord.
A Prayer of Healing
O! Saint Kateri Tekakwitha, we ask for your intercession as the voice of the first peoples’ of our common homeland to help us protect our ecology, to care for Creation and to support each other in gratitude.
We pray that we, whether Indigenous or non-Indigenous, may draw from the example of your short faith-filled life, a profound hope in the Resurrection. May we strive for an authentic relationship of mutual respect, friendship and joy, as brothers and sisters, on a path of healing and reconciliation.
May your prayer ever be our prayer: “Jesos Konoronkwa”, Jesus, I love you.
