This Week (Oct 1-7)


Greetings! I hope the week is going well for everyone!

The crush of school is getting to us. I guess a lot of people are effected by this wave of pain though. This makes those people with a masochistic empathy feel a little better. Thanks to the few who showed up on thursday. Unfortunately, Father Cyprian's mom had a heart attack and he wasn't able to make it. He has been rescheduled. Our prayers go out to his mom Margeret who still is in RUH.

THIS WEEK(OCT 1-7)
We will have normal prayer on tuesday.

Free Perogies!!! On Thursday at 5:30pm we will meet at place riel and head over to Holy Resurrection Orthodox Church(Lorne Ave.) to watch classic pink panther and eat homemade perogies and cabbage rolls prepared by a lady in the parish. Our OCF mom will help us prepare it. Prepare to eat like Kings!! ........ ... oh and Queens!!!

Other than that there is a few more people to phone from the table. Unfortunately, only a few responded. Sigh! Oh Well, no perogies for them!

We plan to get ratified this week please pray for us. Hopefully we can apply for 300 dollars in funding. Also 2 cars are going to the Edmonton retreat. Email mrl999@mail.usask.ca for the forms! Hopefully this week is better than last.

UPCOMING EVENTS
Hope to add a few more speakers. ArchBishop Lazaar has consented to come down sometime in march to speak on MODELS OF REALITY AS SOURCES OF
CONFLICT: PHYSICS AND SOCIETY. The discussion would focus sources and
causes of the completely unnecessary conflicts that advances in Physics
(and science in general) face in society and religion, and why there is
no actual conflict between religion and physics.
This lecture will be done in conjuction with the Physics dept.

Also two iconographers (one Ukrainan and one OCA)are considering speaking on either icons or the challenge of being an iconographer next semester.
