Inspired by St. Eugene de Mazenod, we begin this week with a reminder that steadiness is type of strength.

Not every moment of life will feel that things are shifting, growing and are happening yet these consistent steps build over time to fully see what has been laid in your path by God's watchful hands.

We must remember to continue showing up, to remain faithful in small things, and to act with integrity. This is how great work grows.

This week begins with steady hearts and simple commitment to what matters 💙🙏

Before we know it, July will be here, and that means the Oblate Young Adult Conference is coming quickly. This is open to all 18 to 35 year old Christians and those who are seeking. The Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate - OMI Lacombe Canada have contributed so much to the Catholic Archdiocese of Edmonton, and this is a wonderful opportunity to spend time with them. There are possibilities for subsidies for the conference and for travel. Please share with the young adults in your life!
