DAY 1
MORNING PRAYER
This week we are hearing about the Catholic Social Teachings. Today
we will look at the Catholic Social teaching of rights and responsibilities.
This teaching reminds us that a healthy community can be achieved only if human
rights are protected and responsibilities are met. Therefore, every person has
a fundamental right to life and a right to those things required for human
decency. Corresponding to these rights are duties and responsibilities – to one
another, to our families, and to the larger society.
Loving God,
You call us to look beyond our own interests to what is good for
all people.
May we work towards a world where everyone has their fair share,
in order to live life to the full.
Help us to value the rights of all people,
and embrace the responsibility,
to make this world a better place
for others.
Through Christ our Lord.

TERRY FOX HUMANITARIAN AWARD PROGRAM
The Terry Fox Humanitarian Award Program aims to honour the spirit of Terry Fox, one of Canada’s greatest heroes, by encouraging Canadian youth who strive to emulate Terry Fox’s courage and determination by providing their communities, and those in need, with humanitarian service. Terry Fox Humanitarian Awards are open to students of all abilities. To be considered for the Award, applicants must be: in good academic standing; Canadian citizens or landed immigrants; students graduating from secondary (high) school or students completing their first year of CÉGEP or students who have completed secondary (high) school; involved in voluntary humanitarian activities (for which they have not been compensated); and planning to or are already studying towards their first university degree or diploma at a Canadian post-secondary institution, or entering their 2nd year of CÉGEP in the upcoming academic year. Terry Fox Award Recipients are eligible to receive the Award until they graduate with their first university degree or diploma (for a maximum of four years), provided they maintain satisfactory academic standing and a standard of humanitarian work and personal conduct which, in the opinion of the Board of Directors, justifies the award. The maximum value of the award is $28,000, dispersed over four (4) years. A stipend of $7,000 is issued directly to the institution each year in two installments of $3,500, one in September and one in January. The deadline is December 1st, 2024.
