It's fitting for God's people to offer public thanks for all the gifts we have received. The bountiful produce of the earth is a visible sign of the many blessings God wants to shower on us through Christ. Our God also wants us to share the goods of the earth with all people. (Ordo 2021). 

Note that the Catholic Pastoral Centre will be closed on Monday, Oct. 10 for Thanksgiving Day, and will reopen on Tuesday, Oct. 11.  ​​

Thanksgiving Day Prayer

​Lord, we thank you

for the goodness of our people
and for the spirit of justice
that fills this nation.
We thank you for the beauty
and fullness of the land
​and the challenge of the cities.

We thank you for our work and our rest,
for one another, and for our homes.
We thank you, Lord:
accept our thanksgiving on this day.
We pray and give thanks
​through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen.

A blessed Thanksgiving to all. As the priest said in his opening greeting during our mass yesterday, "everyday is a thanksgiving for us christians." Indeed, each day is a thanksgiving to our God.

Yesterday was also the inauguration of the 16th Synod of Bishops. The inaugural mass of the 2-year Synod, led in celebration by His Holiness Pope Francis, was celebrated at the St. Peter's Basilica and was broadcasted at the Salt & Light media.

In line with the Synod, I was expecting and anticipating any announcement at the end of the mass where I and my family yesterday. However, no announcement was made. I checked on the online bulletins of the adjoining parishes here in NW Calgary and there was no news on the Synod too. Neither could I find any in the Diocese website (please correct me if there is any and that I just could not find it in the Diocese website).

So may I just ask for any information if how can I as an individual parishioner participate in the parish level for this 2year Synod? An article in the Vatican News website mentioned that the synodal journey will be inaugurated the local levels on October 17, which will be this coming Sunday.

Thank you, and I very much appreciate any information.
