A note of gratitude from Bishop Emeritus Albert Thévenot, M. Afr. for the Tanzania Tractor
Greetings to all,
Fall is upon us as we experience the first frost. The leaves have already changed colors. What a beautiful time of the year. The harvest was not according to expectation.
Once again, I would like to share with you a few photos of the tractor and the implements for our farmers in Tanzania. Once again, they would like to express their gratitude to you. The driver was trained and was given a crash course by the John Deere dealer. Their sowing season is approaching. They will soon be in the fields. I will share more photos when I receive them.
Thank you and blessings
Bishop Emeritus Albert Thévenot, M. Afr.

August 20, 2021
The Executive Committee of the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops (CCCB) wishes to address recent reporting on the Corporation for the Catholic Entities Party to the Indian Residential School Settlement (CCEPIRSS). As a Committee, we have been profoundly saddened by the recent uncovering of unmarked burial sites and wish to play a meaningful role in the journey towards healing and reconciliation. This journey requires long-term commitment, but we are encouraged by recent progress, which includes the confirmation of a meeting between Pope Francis and a delegation of First Nations, Métis and Inuit survivors, knowledge keepers, and youth this December. ....to read the full letter

Theodore Supreme Court leave NOT GRANTED
Theodore court case update
On February 25, 2021, the Supreme Court of Canada dismissed Good Spirit (Public) School Division’s application for leave to appeal the Theodore case to the Supreme Court of Canada. This means that the unanimous decision of the Saskatchewan Court of Appeal that overturned the April 2017 trial decision stands. Good Spirit has exhausted their legal options, and the decision of the Appeal Court remains the law in Saskatchewan—which can be considered a victory for both religious and parental rights and freedoms.
