Have a look at the person on your right and the person on your left. Do you recognize them? Do you know them? Today's scripture shows a bit of the playful side of Jesus as he keeps himself from being recognized by the disciples. The disciples are unaware that this stranger walking beside them is actually their friend and Lord. That person on your right and on your left...guess what? That's Jesus too.

AdaptAbilities summer camps create amazing possibilities for the best summer ever! Our camps are thoughtfully planned to provide a fun and meaningful experience for children, youth, and young adults with diverse abilities. We nurture belonging, exploration and fun while providing a safe camp experience that focuses on building trust, creating hope, and establishing meaningful relationships. Our inclusive environment is essential to our participants and their families' well-being, meeting them wherever they may be on their inclusion journey. Registrations are now open for all locations across the city! Find more information in our brochure or go to https://adaptabilities.ca/our-services/summer-camps/

If you have a child in grades 4-12, we have a place for them at Our Lady of Victory Camp this summer! Consider sending them to camp where they can swim in our lake, gather around the campfire, play epic games, and grow in their faith during one of our four weeks of camp this summer. If you don’t have a camp-aged child, you can still get involved in the preparations for our camp reopening this summer. Please pray for us! We also always need workers on the ground to help prepare the site for the summer and would welcome any financial support you might give. We look forward to gathering with families and camp supporters on Saturday, July 8th, for Mass with the Archbishop and a BBQ. If you have any questions, please contact us at 587-447-2837 or visit www.olvcamp.com.

Our hot lunch program continues to run twice a month for students in Grades 1-6. You will need to set up an account for your child. Our school is listed as 'Friends of Holy Family Catholic School'. Orders are due 5 days before each hot lunch date. If you have any questions or can volunteer to hand out lunch, please contact Jonelle at kreiserj@shaw.ca

We are dedicated to building a Catholic, Christian community that prepares our students to know, model, and witness Jesus Christ. Our faith theme this year is ”ARISE: GO WITH GOD”. Pope Francis speaks directly to all young people, especially students, with a call to ARISE. He wants to inspire today’s youth to use their God-given gifts and talents to make the world a better place.
