On March 20th, Sr. Catherine MacPhee celebrated her 105th birthday with residents and staff at the Health Care Centre. Sr. Catherine is very grateful for all the cards, calls and best wishes she received. – Arlene Rutledge, coordinator CND Health Care Centre
Literally millions of people are faithful to this yearly way of joining in an environmental movement to show we care about the Earth. We shut off our lights for one hour – at 8:30 pm – or other time, if necessary, on Saturday, March 28. This is an opportunity for us to collectively speak up for the preservation of a natural healthy world. It’s also a time to reflect, with gratitude, on our “place and space.” We have abundance of water, clean air, good food, essential services and we enjoy natural beauty around us. Earth Hour is a good time to join with the entire world to appreciate the universal effort to care for Mother Earth.

Jesus Is Condemned to Death
Sentenced to death!
Oh no! My dear son.
My beautiful, loving boy. He’s been scourged
and whipped.
He’s bleeding and beaten—just to satisfy
this bloodthirsty mob.
Pilate knows that Jesus is innocent,
but he caves in
to their screams.
Led by the chief priests, they’re yelling, shouting:
Crucify him! Crucify him!
Dear God, the most painful, shameful death
of all.
Be with him, my God, and with me.
