An Act of Spiritual Communion My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.

Caring for Our Parish
The CWL is organizing a deep clean of the church kitchen on Friday, February 27, after morning Mass. If we have enough helpers, the parish hall will also be cleaned. All
parishioners are welcome to join – whether you can help for one hour or stay longer.
This is a meaningful Lenten opportunity to serve together and care for our shared parish spaces. A sign-up sheet will be available on the bulletin board near the kitchen or contact kyla_ouillette@live.ca. Tasks will be assigned on the day. Your help and generosity are greatly appreciated!
Attention New Parishioners: Any Knights new to the parish are asked to please contact Eugene Casavant or the parish office.
The sale of Askew’s Cards is an important program to help feed the hungry of Salmon Arm, especially as winter
Don’t forget the Donation Boxes There are two donation boxes in our church vestibule, one for the Carmelite Sisters in Armstrong and one for our local Salvation Army Food Bank. As a parish you have been very generous in the past and these groups continue to welcome your donations of non-perishable food items. The Salvation Army is very thankful to our parish for the continued weekly donations.
