20th Anniversary Discernment House Reunion 2006

On August 26th we gathered in Saskatoon to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Discernment House in Sskatoon, Sskatchewan Canada! It was with great joy and consolation that we joined with many of the former women who lived with us in our house in the past 20 years!.

We all gave thanks to God for blessings received over the years:
For approximately 1200 Youth who have attended our Discernment Weekends. For the 118 young women who have come tho live a faith community experience with us! For the 6 young women who have entered our congregation - the Sisters of the Presentation of Mary. For the 8 other women who have entered other communities. For the 6 young men who have attended discernment weekends and been ordained to the priesthood. For approximately 65 young women who have received the sacrament of Marriage.

We have trusted in God's promise: "I know well the plans I have I mind for you, says the Lord, plans for your welfare, not for woe! Plans to give you a future full of hope. When you call me, when you go to pray to me, I will listen to you. When you look for me, you will find me." (Jer. 29:11-13)
