KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS
Blood Donation Ministry
As Pentecost Sunday arrives, we realize that it was just six short weeks ago that we celebrated the Triduum: the Passion, Death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ.  He willingly gave up his life for us.  He poured out his blood for us on the cross, and conquered sin and death by rising from the dead.

Jesus asks us to pick up our cross and follow him.  Jesus asks us to love our neighbour.

Your participation in the Blood Donation Ministry is one way we can do that.  We can pour out our blood to help our neighbour.  This relatively easy act could change the world and save the life of a stranger.  Talk about loving your neighbour!

The ministry currently has 16 members who have donated 20 units of blood.  Thank you to those already participating, your neighbours thank you!

As we near the end of the Easter Season, we ask you to consider joining this ministry.  The process to sign-up through the Canadian Blood Services system is below.

Let’s continue to follow the example of Jesus and love our neighbour.  Even give up our blood for them.

MONTHLY MEMORIAL MASS
Tuesday, June 2nd, 2026 at 7:00 p.m.
A Memorial Mass will be offered within the context of our Novena Mass in honour of St. Gianna, for all those who have died within a given month and have been memorialized or entombed within Living Waters Columbarium.  The names of all those whose anniversary of death is within that month will be named and prayed for.  This is a wonderful way to know that a Mass will be offered for our beloved dead each year in the month of their death.

MONTHLY NUPTIAL ANNIVERSARY BLESSINGS
Tuesday, June 9th, 2026 within the 7:00 p.m. Novena Mass
The Vocation of Marriage continues to be foundation for the building up of society and the Church.  As an icon of Christ’s own love for the Church, marriage is at the service of the entire community, as we witness what enduring love can ultimately do.  Our patroness, Saint Gianna with her husband Pietro, knew the gift and responsibility of sharing in such a vocation.

This Novena Mass will include a special blessing for all of our married couples celebrating a wedding anniversary in JUNE, including a renewal of vows for those marking 10, 25, 40, 50 or more years of marriage.  All couples marking their anniversary in this particular month are encouraged to bring their family and friends along with them as together with God and the community, we join in giving thanks for your vocation.

Please indicate if you will be participating in the upcoming Nuptial Anniversary Mass, by using the link below.

LIVING WATERS COLUMBARIUM is Expanding!
Pre-Installation Opportunity Extended!
The current high demand for Columbarium Niches has made it necessary to expand our Niche inventory.  A new 198 niche addition will be located along the large curved wall on the northeast side of the Columbarium.

In preparation for this new addition, we are pleased to extend our pre-installation opportunity a little longer, where all Niches on this bank will be offered with a special incentive pricing (some exceptions may apply).  This is a great time to let your family and friends know of this pre-installation opportunity.

In appreciation for any referral resulting in the purchase of a new Niche, Living Waters Columbarium will offer a complimentary Vigil Candle for two designated dates, in memory of your beloved deceased presently entombed or memorialized in the Columbarium.

For more information or to take advantage of this opportunity, please contact Donna at 204-488-3977, to schedule an appointment.
