Welcome to the fall program
A message to the friends of the John Paul II Centre

Once again, as director, I'm very happy to welcome and invite you to participate in our exciting new fall program for the year 2003. It is always encouraging to see so many register for the different programs that help in keeping the facility open and viable.

This fall, we are offering many new and interesting programs and workshops which will answer some of your spiritual needs and enrich your spiritual growth on your life journey. Candace, the program coordinator, has diligently devised a varied program with new presenters to enhance the life of the Centre.

We are also looking forward to another successful and fruitful year for the Lay Ministry Program. This year, we will be accommodating approximately 81 participants who will be coming to the John Paul II Centre for two weekends per month. Let us be thankful because this was the main trust for having this Centre. We thank the parishes for their support and also the candidates who commit three years of their time to develop and enrich their own spiritual life in order to be able to give more to their families and share in the vitality of the church. I also want to thank the Lay Ministry Team for their faithfulness and dedication to the people of God.

At this time, I would like to mention that Karlie King, the administrative assistant, will be saying goodbye to the staff, board members and friends of the Centre on
August 22, 2003, to further her studies in Newfoundland. We sincerely thank Karlie and wish her good luck in her studies and future endeavours.

To replace Karlie, the new administrative assistant is Joan Fellinger. We welcome Joan and we wish her many gratifying hours in the peaceful atmosphere of the Centre.

Once again, thank you for helping us in making the John Paul II Centre a place to replenish and revitalize our spiritual needs.

Holy Spirit, inspire our people to renew the face of the earth.

Sister Elaine Arsenault
Director
