PARENTING TIP OF THE MONTH
The first day of July starts with a celebration of Canada and all that our country has to offer. It is a wonderful month to celebrate summer with family and friends and a great time to remember to pray for our country, be thankful for our freedom to celebrate our Catholic faith and to look at the many riches our country has to offer us. So, speak to your children about their wonderful country, about the beauty God has created here for them and about the many blessings they experience as Canadians. It is easy to dwell on the negative, but teaching our children to have an attitude of gratitude for their blessings makes for a healthier frame of mind!
MARRIAGE TIP OF THE MONTH
Love is a choice and sometimes little choices can make for a more loving and contented relationship. A smile and kiss as a greeting, a thank you for something your spouse does for you or for the family, a little note of gratitude for their gifts and talents. Over time, we can forget that kind words, compliments and seeing the good can change the way we interact. Choose to take these actions and watch your love grow.

THE SANCTUARY COURSE FOR CATHOLICS
SANCTUARY MENTAL HEALTH MINISTRIES
How can a church become a sanctuary—a place where individuals living with mental health challenges feel safe, supported, and a sense of belonging? The Sanctuary Course for Catholics was created to inspire and equip communities of faith that are asking this important question. Developed in consultation with mental health professionals, theologians, and people with lived experience, this eight-session study guide explores key mental health topics and examines meaningful ways to offer companionship, support recovery, and promote wellbeing.
