Sarnia Catholic Cursillo

General Announcements by Members of Cursillo

For the last two years, a group of primarily Cursillistas has been meeting on a regular basis to reflect on our role as Laity in the Catholic Church.

The group which includes quite a few familiar faces, including Fr Tom Lever and Brother Anthony, met with the Bishop earlier this year and shared with him our hopes and expectations as a group.

Our group is called "Laity in Action" and our Mission Statement is below.

We meet every 2 months usually on a Saturday morning starting with Mass at 9:00 a.m. celebrated by Fr Tom at Sacred Heart Church. This is followed by a program of reflection, presentations and working group sessions lasting the rest of the morning.

Our next meeting is scheduled for Saturday, September 26. The agenda is as follows:

9:00 a.m. Mass at Sacred Heart (Fr Tom)

9:45 a.m. Introduction + welcome to any new people + updates

10:00 a.m. Opening Reflections

Sarnia Justice Film Festival Screening - Saturday, September 26, 7pm Sarnia Public Library Auditorium PG13 Call and Response www.justicefilmfestival.ca This documentary is about modern-day slavery. From the child brothels of Cambodia to the brick kilns of rural India, human trafficking is a grim reality of our time, not just a thing of the past. Human trafficking is a very profitable business that uses human beings as commodities to be bought and sold generating more income in 2007 than Google, Nike and Starbucks combined. This film is a rallying cry for a modern abolitionist movement, featuring many prominent figures from the worlds of politics and music. It is a reminder that true justice and freedom cannot happen for anyone until they happen for everyone. Free admission. Donations glady accepted.

Conversation leaders after the screening will be representatives of: The Sarnia-Lambton Committee against Trafficking of Women and Children, the International Justice Mission and the Sexual Assault Survivors' Centre Sarnia-Lambton.
