SEASON OF LENT
Our Lenten journey begins on Ash Wednesday when we receive the ashes on our forehead to remind us that we belong to God and we shall return to Him. Throughout these forty days, let us make an effort to spend more time in prayer, fasting and almsgiving. Repentance of sin and acts of mercy help us prepare to celebrate the Paschal Mystery at the great feast of Easter.

And now, in the midst of our 100th anniversary year, we are reaching out to a new generation in a new way, with the launch of an interactive, and fun-filled website for children called BibleKids.ca. It is our hope that through kid-friendly music, colourful animation, Bible adventure stories and games, BibleKids.ca will engage youngsters with the Old and New Testament Scriptures, and help them to develop a love for God's Word.

OMI Lacombe Canada Vocations The feast day of our Founder St Eugene, and the beginning of our Novena for Vocations (May 21 – 29) seems a fitting moment to announce that OMI Lacombe now has a vocations website (oblatevocations.ca) and it is up and online! Ken Thorson, OMI Lacombe Director of Vocations, invites all of you to check it out for yourselves and make sure you tell every one you know, especially young people, about the site. The site is meant to be a discernment tool for young adults between the ages of 18 – 40 years, particularly those who are considering life as a religious brother or priest. You will notice there is a blog on the site. Five people will join me in writing periodically (blogging) about their experience of living the Oblate charism today. The bloggers, both Oblates and Associates, are: Sandra Prather and Brad and Christine Taylor, along with Nestor Gregoire, OMI, David MacPhee, OMI, and Ken Thorson, OMI.
