The Power of ‘Sì’
A decent amount of people have given me a confused look when I tell them that my last name, Castelino, is of Portuguese origin. Their confusion is not unfounded, considering I am pretty much completely of East Indian descent and have the looks to match it. But I find it enjoyable explaining that one [...]
The Secret of True and Lasting Happiness
My name is Kasia. I am an international student from Poland, studying physics at SFU. This is my testimony. How many times in your life has someone asked “how are you?” and you answered “I’m fine” without really thinking? How many times have you asked “how are you?” without really caring about how that person [...]

Most of us are aware that God loves us. As part of the Catholic Church we learn from a very young age “Jesus loves you”. We sing songs about it, we hear homilies on it, and we read about it in holy scripture. But it begs the question…do I love Jesus? Instinct might be to [...]

The endless possibilities of Rise Up!
“What captures your heart?” This question was posed by Father Clair Watrin during Rise Up in Winnipeg and the answer to this question has come to shape who I am. He posed this question during a homily during the conference and it really struck me. He went on to ask other questions about who we [...]
Jesus, I trust in YOU
Remember those times when you were a kid that you got into a heap of trouble? That barely ever happened to me. I was the ideal child growing up: obedient, quiet, loving, hard-working – I can go on and on with my amazing traits. Don’t listen to my siblings if they tell you I was [...]
