Georges Vanier

George Cowley

His first words as Governor General of Canada were a prayer seeking blessing and humility. He lived and served through both World Wars, promoting healing and serving as a skillful diplomat.

Morning's Holy Light

Claire Brown

Sometimes Claire Brown starts her day in the chapel, I going to Mass and praying, making resolutions for an industrious day. Other times, it’s how she ends her day, with sometimes dragging feet, on the way home from a long day at the hospital. Through it all, Claire sees the power of prayer in her community.

Called Out of Myself

Leanna Cappiello

As a cradle Catholic, Leanna struggled to find awe and wonder in the Scripture stories. Love from storybooks, the love she learned of as a pre-teen, felt like protection and comfort. There were times when her home in Caledon felt like an elevated ivory tower. Here, she could claim sanctuary from the confusing dangers of the world. Until September, 2007.
