Sixth Sunday in Ordinary time.

Hi guys,
just a reminder that we have our weekly meeting today at 4:30pm in the Notre Dame Chapel joining the Bible study at SJU.
The Gospel reading for the upcoming Sunday is Mark 1:40-45.

Weekly Adoration & Bible/Catechism Study

Hi guys,

I'd like to share that the Laurier Catholic Club hosts a weekly Eucharistic Adoration followed by Bible or Catechism study, every Thursday at 7pm and 8pm respectively.
For me, it was precisely adoration and the sacrament of penance (also available during this time) that were instrumental to my re-version to our holy Catholic faith, Jesus is there you guys and He wants you to talk to Him.


The location is the Lutheran Seminary Chapel on WLU campus.

First Meeting of the Term

Hi guys,

I hope you had a delightful Christmas and New Year!
I know some of you spent the first hour of the year 2012 at Mass, and what better way to start the year than to receive our Lord in the Eucharist? :D

Father Toby is starting a Bible study this semester, focusing on readings for the upcoming Sunday and it would be awesome if Compass would come out and support him.

So, for our first meeting of the term, let's participate in this Bible study tomorrow at 4:30pm in the SJU Notre Dame Chapel.

God bless,

Daniel

Points Encounter tomorrow

Hi guys,

Tomorrow, we will have out meeting at 5:30 p.m., as usual, in SLC 1115. It will be our last or second last points encounter from the term, as final exams are starting shortly.

I will also bring some goodies :) So, please, come up !


In Christ,
Tereza 

First Sunday of Advent

Hey guys,

I hope you're having a great term!
Just a reminder that there is a Points Encounter tomorrow 5:30-6:30 as usual
in SLC 1115.

Also there is a great opportunity to go listen to a talk by Michael Coren on his books Why Catholics Are Right which will be hapenning at St. Aloysius Church in Kitchener tomorrow 7:30-8:30pm.
Michael Coren is a well-esteemed columnist, televisions host and a Catholic apologist among many other things. 

If you would like to come you can catch a ride with me after he Compass meeting.

Thirty-Second Sunday in Ordinary Time

Hi all,

hopefully most of you are through the biggest stack of midterms by now, which I hope went well :)

Today is All Soul's Day and we join our fellow Catholics around the world commemorating all the faithful departed.

Just a reminder, the meeting is at 5:30pm as usual in SLC 1115, and today's topic is the Church's stance on evolution.

Hope to see you here!

Thirty First Sunday in Ordinary Time

Hey everyone,

just a reminder that there is a meeting tomorrow
at 5:30pm at SLC 1115
which is our usual meeting room for the rest of the semester now.

Also, tomorrow THE SOURCE
is hapenning at the University of McMaster
and we have been invited (it's from 6-8pm).

The SOURCE is a recurring Adoration-based event at McMaster and this time:  the theme is "Our call, surrendering to God's love". HOW UTTERLY PERFECT. SO nowww we can truly reflect on this week's Gospel, for if we know how to surrender, we are exercising our FAITH, and we are choosing to IMITATE Christ. Fr. Hansoo Park is our amaazing speaker who will further expand on God's ridiculous amount of love for us, and how to surrender to it! (copied shamelessly from a MACSA email)

If enough people are interested we'll send out a delegation from UW :)

This Saturday is the optional memorial of St. Simeon and Jude, the Apostles - hence the picture on the left.

Midterm Break

Hey guys,

I hope midterm studying is going well,
and that you're not too stressed out (or sick!)

There will be no meeting this week,
on account of all the sorts of studying going on,
so I wish you good luck with that.:P

Also, the situation in Egypt I mentioned on Thanksgiving
is getting worse, so please consider singing and sending the following letter to our Prime Minister Harper.

God bless and peace of Christ be with you!

-Daniel

Coptic Unrest

Hey guys,


I hope you're having a blessed Thanksgiving!

We have many things to thank God for, one of which is the (relatively okay) religious freedom we enjoy in Canada.
Our Christian brothers in Egypt are not so fortunate.
After trying to hold a peaceful protest after the burning of a Coptic Church,
they were attacked by angry mobs and later the Egyptian military,
leaving at least 24 people dead.

I urge you to please include our Coptic Christian brethren in your prayers!

Here is one of the articles on the recent developments.

Weekly Meetings

Hey guys,

so after your responses came in about your availability,
we found the best time to have the weekly Points Encounters.

Wednesday 5:30pm-6:30pm


That means the first meeting is tomorrow! :D

Please meet at 5:20pm at Turnkey Desk and we'll go to the meeting room from there.
