Pope Francis has been in hospital since February 14 as a result of a number of serious health concerns. As the world continues to receive updates on the Holy Father’s wellbeing, Catholics around the world have been holding the Pope close in prayer.   Last week,  Most Reverend William T. McGrattan, Bishop of Calgary and President of the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops (CCCB) offered the following statement: 

March 5 is Ash Wednesday.  This special day signals the beginning of Lent for many Christian traditions. May we enter this 40 day Lenten season during this Jubilee Year with expectant hope; a hope that guides and strengthens our intentional acts of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. 

Please join us on Sunday, March 2 at 3 pm to hear more about Frassati Academy. An information session about the new school will be held in the auditorium of the St. Agnes location of Good Shepherd Parish. All are welcome. Please be sure to RSVP by clicking here.
