On November 11th we remember St. Martin of Tours.Martin was born around 330 of pagan parents. His father was a soldier, who enlisted Martin in the army at the age of fifteen. One winter day he saw an ill-clad beggar at the gate of the city of Amiens. Martin had no money to give, but he cut his cloak in half and gave half to the beggar. (Paintings of the scene, such as that by El Greco, show Martin, even without the cloak, more warmly clad than the beggar, which rather misses the point.) In a dream that night, Martin saw Christ wearing the half-cloak. He had for some time considered becoming a Christian, and this ended his wavering. He was promptly baptized. At the end of his next military campaign, he asked to be released from the army, saying: "Hitherto I have faithfully served Caesar. Let me now serve Christ." He was accused of cowardice, and offered to stand unarmed between the contending armies. He was imprisoned, but released when peace was signed. |

GoFundMe for Liz and her daughter Nicole.As many of you already know, Liz and her daughter lost the place they rented due to the fire on September 16th. Luckily, no one got hurt but they lost pretty much everything they had... Their favourite items, clothes and memories are gone. They have insurance but it will take a long time before they will get any money. Hotel where Nicole is working offered them temporary accommodation but still it's not cheap. Due to the housing crisis in Bow Valley, both ladies are struggling right now to find an affordable accommodation. Liz and Nicole were born and raised in Canmore and their family have been members here for over 100 years now. If you can, donate as every penny matters. |
