Ministry has been so amazing out here in Alberta for the last few weeks. Event after event every weekend has been nothing short of amazing! Unchained and Equip has been going absolutely awesome with big numbers coming out. A bit of a glory story to come out of the weekend was we were anticipating about 20 youth to show up to our first Equip night last weekend based off of last years stats. We were in for a large surprise. We ended up having 70 youth show up to our night! It was absolutely incredible having that many youth show up who were nothing but excited to be there. Laughter and shouting were in huge supply that night which made for giant games of ballon stomp, sharks and minnows, and large consummations of Ice Cream (which we made by hand). The night ended up being a great success!
We have also kicked off our Family Fun Days which have been also been a great success for the families in both parishes. Being close to Halloween we had a Pumpkin carving as one of our activities! The families had lots of fun and many parents mentioned to us how great it was to see there children having so much fun with them and other families in the church through an afternoon of fun and fellowship!
This past weekend we also had the 100th Anniversary of St. Patrick's Parish which was exciting to be part of. Bishop Fredrick Henry came out to celebrate mass along with many past priests, deacons, nuns and parishioners of the parish. It was so great to be part of such a huge part of history!
And as we all know yesterday was Halloween the team obviously got into the spirit of things. We had Jimmy the Pooh, 102 Ian puppies, and Kyley "Drachua" just to name a few of the exciting costumes we had! Good times, good times.
Stayed tuned for more stories from under the world's largest teepee!
God Bless!
