The last two years have created a lot of grief and consequently there’s no shortage of topics to engage and reflect upon.  The Justice & Peace Commission—Anglican & Roman Catholic— is offering four Zoom sessions on Wednesdays at 7pm beginning March 9. Speakers’ presentations will be made available on the Diocese of Ontario’s website (www.ontario.anglican.ca) and the Archdiocese of Kingston’s website (https://romancatholic.kingston.on.ca). Zoom link will be made available through the Diocese of Ontario communications in March.

The sessions will consider grief; grief as it pertains to the climate; how grief is experienced as “the other” and finally, looking at grief through hope.  We recommend you follow the presentations in order as they will correspond to the movements of the Passion, Death and Resurrection of Jesus with the final session preparing us for the hope of the Resurrection.  

The Commission is grateful for the contributions of each speaker at Reid’s Funeral Home, Green Group, Islamic Society, Sisters of Providence of St. Vincent de Paul and to Mark Hauser for overall assistance and recordings of the speakers.

The Commission looks forward to welcoming you in Lent!  May the blessings of the season bring you to new life in Christ.
