From the Diocesan Marriage Office Are you aware that when a Catholic gets married, he or she must be married in front of a Catholic priest (deacon or bishop) and two witnesses? This is called the Form of Marriage. If a Catholic does not get married in this way it is not recognized by the Church (unless a Dispensation from Form was requested of the local bishop through the pastor) and thus the Catholic party is to refrain from receiving the Eucharist until such time as this has been rectified. You see, it has nothing to do with the location of the wedding but with the witnesses involved. Originally, this was done to provide for the safety of women who were being abandoned by men who re-fused to recognize their marriages. Today, while safety is no longer an issue, the law still pertains. It is important to note that no Catholic marriages performed in any legal manner are considered binding by the Church if the parties are free to marry. If you are in a situation where you believe your marriage might not be presently recognized by the Church, give your pastor a shout and he will work things out with you. If you have not been married previously to another person then there is no problem in solving this difficulty. If you have been previously married, (or your spouse has been previously married) then he will simply have to work a little harder to resolve the situation. Or, if you wish, contact the Marriage Tribunal in Victoria (250-479-1331 or [email protected]) and Moira Gill will be happy to assist you with the direction of Fr. John Laszczyk.

As you are united with Me in life, so will you be united at the moment of death.
(Diary, #1552)Saint Faustina Kowalska
The DIARY of Sister Faustina, written in the form of a journal, records the last four years of her life. It reveals the depths of her spiritual life and illustrates the high degree of her soul’s union with God. The Lord endowed Sister Faustina with tremendous graces: the gift of contemplation, a deep knowledge of the mystery of the mercy of God, vi-sions, revelations, the hidden stigmata, the gifts of prophecy and of reading human souls, and also the rare gift of mys-tical espousal . (Diary Introduction, p. 10, Polish Edition)

Refugee committee. We have applied to become a sponsoring group. Estimated Budget: For the family who we invited to Canada (mother, father and 4 year old child) for a period of one year, the budget provides a very rough estimate, with many built in assumptions. Assumptions include that the government will cover all travel, medical, dental and training costs; also that fur-nishing, appliances and some clothing will be donated. Expenses: Accommodation/Utilities monthly $ 1,300. Annual: $18,000. Food and Essentials: monthly $ 900. Annual: $10,800; Clothing Annual 1,000. Discretionary Spending: Monthly $200 Annual: $18,000. Transporta-tion: Monthly $ 180 Annual: $2,160. Sundry Extras: (School Supplies, furniture, Medical etc). Total Annual $ 4,000. Travel to Canada: $ 5,000 Total: 39, 960. The adjustment will be made as emerging government sup-port is clarified and received donation in kind. So far we
collected $18,705.98 plus one of the families donated furnishings to their new home. If you can help please let us know ([email protected]) . If you want to donate some money please use envelopes marked “refugees”.
