SUMMARY:Rosary Novena for the People of Canada
DESCRIPTION:As Catholics\, we are called to “seek the welfare of the city\,” in the words of the Book of Jeremiah. We are\, after all\, citizens of two nations: this earthly country Canada\, this place and people we all love\, and the heavenly Kingdom of God. Let’s come together to praise the Lord of both these nations and to call on the intercession of the heavenly Kingdom for the needs of our earthly nation. \nJoin Canadians from coast to coast as we gather for a nine-day rosary novena to pray for the people of Canada\, each of us discerning our own consciences in preparation to vote for our next government during the 2021 federal election. We will pray for all Canadians\, and for guidance in choosing leaders who will provide practical and efficient leadership with the good of all in mind – including the unborn\, the elderly\, the young\, families\, and those who are too often forgotten by society – as well as workers\, farmers\, business owners\, and all future generations.

SUMMARY:The Beauty of Creation:  Green Thomism
DESCRIPTION:Professor Christopher Thompson of the Saint Paul Seminary School of Divinity explores his new idea of Green Thomism\, which “seeks to integrate the wisdom of St. Thomas Aquinas with the questions of environmental stewardship\, sustainability\, and awareness… [and] interprets the signs of the times to indicate the need for a renewal of some of the most basic principles of Thomistic thought: the goodness of created things\, the purposive structure of created being\, the inescapable embodied character of human existence\, the capacity of reason to discern an order of creation which is to be respected\, the contemplative nature of human happiness… All of these claims are rooted in St. Thomas’ vision of creation\, the human person\, and God; each of them has the capacity to enliven the best of what is happening in the ever-growing movement of environmental concern.”

SUMMARY:Faith & Reason Event - Cathonomics & Integral Ecology
DESCRIPTION:Cathonomics & Integral Ecology: Treating people and the environment with inherent dignity \n“The main tenets of socialism\, community of goods\, must be utterly rejected\, since it only injures those who it would seem meant to benefit\, and is directly contrary to the natural rights of mankind; “once the demands of necessity and propriety have been met\, the rest that one owns belongs to the poor\, and “based on a purely economic conception of man\, the system of neoliberalism considers profit and the law of the market as its only parameters\, to the detriment of the dignity of and the respect due to individuals and peoples.” From the beginnings of Catholic Social Teaching to today\, the church has never shied away from criticizing the failings of economic and environmental ideologies\, from socialism to capitalism\, and others that lie in between. In this Faith & Reason event\, economist\, and advisor to the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace\, Anthony Annett\, will share the richness of Catholic social thought on economics and the environment\, showing how it transcends the secular ideologies that surround us. Moderated by Peter Copeland of Catholic Conscience and the St. Monica’s Institute\, on behalf of the Newman Centre at the University of Toronto.”

SUMMARY:Faith & Reason Lecture Series - Faith & Profession
DESCRIPTION:“What does it mean to care for another person? It is one thing to provide medicine\, and services by contract\, but another altogether to enter into solicitude\, defined as great concern for the well-being of another\, involving thoughtful or hovering attentiveness toward them. \nWhat is nursing and where does it fit in the world of healthcare? What value does it add to the healthcare system and what does it mean to be a nurse from a secular vs Catholic perspective? \nIn this talk\, we will explore these and other pressing questions about the challenges the nursing and healthcare fields face with the trends in secular philosophy of medicine and well-being which emphasize autonomy\, consent\, subjectivity\, and consumerist models of healthcare. We will dive into these questions with Helen McGee of the National Association of Catholic Nurses and explore a model of nursing through an exploration of the life of Bl Hanna Helena Chrzanowska with Dr Gosia Brykczyńska.” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHelen McGee RN MN is a mental health nursing consultant in independent practice. She graduated from the University of Toronto with a BScN in 1974 and an MN in 2012. Her clinical work was focussed primarily on young people and families at the onset of schizophrenia. Later\, she led clinicians as they developed their clinical skills and services. \nHelen has served as President of the National Association of Catholic Nurses – Canada since 2020. In this role\, she has encouraged Canadian nurses to anchor their vocation in prayer and participation in the sacraments to face the clinical challenges of Canada’s culture of death. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDr. Gosia Brykczyńska: Gosia Brykczyńska is a bi-lingual humanities graduate\, who wrote her BA dissertation on leprosy in Siberia. She subsequently obtained a degree in nursing from Columbia University\, in New York City\, going on to specialise in paediatric oncology nursing. Since 1985 she has been involved in the education of nurses in the UK teaching healthcare ethics\, philosophy and nursing humanities. At the end of her career she worked as an international officer for the Royal College of Nursing (RCN). In semi-retirement she taught Child Health Nursing at The University of West London and Christian ethics at The Benedictine Arts and Study Centre of Ealing Abbey. \nShe was the Royal College of Nursing representative on the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health Ethics Advisory Committee. She is a Fellow of the Florence Nightingale Foundation\, an honorary member of the Polish Nurses Association and a member of the Polish Association of Catholic Nurses and Midwives (Kraków Branch) and The Association of Catholic Nurses in the UK. She is currently the European President of CICIAMS. \nShe holds a doctorate from Heythrop College – London University\, in pastoral theology and philosophy and has written the definitive English biograph of Bl. Hanna.

SUMMARY:Alberta Election
DESCRIPTION:Alberta’s 31st general election will take place May 29\, 2023.

This is an important opportunity for Catholics.

SUMMARY:New Year Rosary
DESCRIPTION:Ring in the New Year with us as we celebrate the World Day of Peace and launch our new global online weekly Rosary\, on January 1st\, 2024. \nThe annual World Day of Peace was established in 1967 by Saint Pope Paul VI\, to coincide with the Solemnity of Mary\, Mother of God – thus linking the Church’s prayer for peace to its solemn reverence for our Blessed Mother. We will pray for our civic leaders and for our own civic participation\, placing our hope for peace founded on justice in her loving hands. \nThen join us every Wednesday for rosary and reflections\, as we begin to build a global community of Catholics devoted to civic evangelization through the beauty of Catholic social teaching.
