POPE FRANCIS
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
In our continuing catechesis for this Holy Year of Mercy, we now consider Jesus’ miracle of restoring sight to a blind man on the
way to Jericho (Lk 18:35-43). The blind man, forced to beg for a living, can represent all those disadvantaged persons who, even to-
day, find themselves on the periphery of our societies. The prosperous city of Jericho, for its part, evokes the conquest of the Promised
Land and Moses’ stern warning that, once settled, God’s People were not to harden their hearts or be blind to the presence of those in
need (cf. Dt 15). Unlike the crowd, Jesus does not ignore the blind man or try to silence his cries. He stops, turns the eyes of all to
the blind man, and, acknowledging his faith, restores his sight. Saint Luke tells us that the man, now healed, became a disciple of
Jesus. Not only, but the crowd too now sees; their eyes are opened to the meaning of this encounter of mercy, and they give praise to
God (v. 43). During this Jubilee of Mercy may we too open our eyes and hearts to God’s love for the poor and to the gift of healing
that he offers to all who turn to him in faith.

Sacred Heart School News Mrs. Sienaert will head a Talent Show on Friday, June 24th. We are looking forward to enjoying the many gifts of
students at Sacred Heart School. The Grade Three students celebrated the feast day of their classroom patron, St.
Anthony on June 13th. Kindergarten students will visit the REAPS Composting Garden week to return their
worms and participate in a waste-reduction program. They hosted a Father's Day event on June 16th. Aboriginal
Day was marked on June 17th in many classrooms with art and stories related to this theme.
Grade Four/Five travelled to Barkerville last week while Grade Six students enjoyed Ness Lake. Grade Seven stu-
dents will journey to Camp Morice this week to mark their final days at Sacred Heart School. We wish them a
memorable trip!
Primary students will make two separate trips to Forests for the World this week to participate in the Pond Study
program provided by the REAPS Garden. These trips are funded by the Go Grant program for which we are most
grateful.
