PAST UPDATES:

[UPDATE 2024-07-29]
The Sour Cherry U-Pick will open for the season on Saturday, August 3. Additional details to follow!!!

[UPDATE 2024-07-27]
The sour cherries are still not quite ripe enough for picking. We are tentatively planning for opening next weekend — Aug 2 or 3? More updates to follow.
[UPDATE 2024-07-19]
After a cool, wet spring, the cherries are trying hard to ripen, and the hot temperatures that we’ve been seeing over the past two weeks are encouraging them along. The difference in redness is noticeable from day to day.
Sour Cherry U-Pick in the St. Therese Institute orchards might be opened by July 27, but it may also take a few extra days for the fruit to push through to that perfect-to-pick point. We are anticipating that there will still be fruit available for U-Pick during Bruno Cherry Sunday on Aug. 11, 2024!
Bookmark this page or check back for more updates. You can also find updates at www.cherrysunday.ca/u-pick-cherries or by contacting St. Therese Institute at www.StTherese.ca or 306-369-2555

RECLAIM THE GOSPEL:
Understanding the Context of the Good News
Register
Speaker: Dr. Scott Powell (Sunday School, A Pillar Bible Study podcast)
AFTER MARCH 5, please call to register: 306-369-2555
“Dr. Scott Powell makes the Bible COME ALIVE like no one else I’ve ever heard! The way he dives into the background of the Scripture passages, explaining the impact that each word would have had on its audience made it feel like I was actually there, with Jesus and the Apostles, 2000 years ago.
Bring Dr. Powell back again!” — Past Conference Participant
Sometimes, the Bible can be hard to understand. When we don’t know the background or the history or the backstory of the characters, it might be difficult to get a feeling for what the author is really communicating.
Dr. Scott Powell
So Philip ran to [the eunuch] and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet and asked, “Do you understand what you are reading?” And he said, “How can I, unless someone guides me? (Acts 8:30-31)
Dr. Scott Powell is a modern day Philip. He clearly articulates the details in a way that unlocks everything that makes Bible passages come alive and become tangibly real.
You’ll never look at Holy Scripture the same way again!
Register while space remains

BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND!! Dr. Scott Powell is a teacher, theologian and author with an amazing ability to unlock and explain the historical and social context of Scripture in a dynamic and engaging way. Dr. Powell has been featured on EWTN, “Catholic Answers Live”.

Scott is Assistant Professor of Theology at the St. John Vianney Theological Seminary in Denver. He and his wife, Annie, founded and run a Catholic wilderness camp called Camp Wojtyla.

Instructor: David Douglas
David Douglas studied at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Minnesota, and double-majored in Catholic Theology and Sociology. After a career in employee benefits funding consulting, he decided to realize his goal of living abroad by earning a TEFL certificate to work as an English language instructor. He found a teaching job in Korea, and for most of the next decade, worked as an independent educational contractor, ultimately earning a teaching license and a master’s degree. He moved from language academies to international school classrooms, taking on a wide variety of instructional, mentoring, editing, and education leadership roles across South Korea, Malaysia, China, and the USA.
David Douglas is a native of St. Paul, Minnesota and his wife, Charmaine, is originally from Saskatchewan. David met Charmaine in Seoul in 2009; they came to Canada to be married in her family’s home parish outside Melfort, SK, in 2010, and then went back overseas together. David was raised Protestant but had studied the Catholic faith since encountering it in college. Shortly after the birth of their first son, he was received into the Catholic Church on Easter, 2012, in Sungai Petani, Malaysia. When Charmaine and David eventually decided to settle in North America in 2018, they came to her mother’s home in Bruno for the transition. They got to know some wonderful people related to the St. Therese Institute that summer and were both amazed by the vibrant Catholic community of the town; Their seventh child was also born while they were in Bruno baptized at St. Bruno Parish.
From Bruno, they moved to Cloquet, Minnesota in August 2018, where David served as the principal of Queen of Peace Catholic School.
Five years later, the Lord’s path directed them back to Bruno and in 2023 David took on the role of Executive Director here at St. Therese Institute.

About the Course:
Contemporary culture talks a lot about sexuality, but one is hard pressed to find a holistic presentation on the body and how fertility works. With so much confusion, isn’t it time to get some clarity? Learn about your body in the light of principles inspired from Pope St. John Paul II’s Theology of the Body and the best of the sciences. This course will certify you to teach the TeenSTAR program.
“Teen STAR™ is a developmental curriculum, founded by Hanna Klaus, MD (Sr. Miriam Paul , MMS), that helps adolescents and young adults come to terms with their emerging sexuality and fertility and assist them in making responsible decisions. Beginning with the physical, the young person can then integrate their intellectual, emotional, social, and spiritual aspects of their persona and mature into a fully integrated human being.”
Registration for TeenSTAR is open to adults (18+) only.

Instructor: Sr. Genevieve Gadbois, FM
Geneviève Gadbois has been a member of the Myriam Beth’léhem Family for over 25 years. She holds a certificate in Canon Law and has been a TeenSTAR trainer since 2007. Her pastoral accompaniment of young Catholics has made her aware of the difficulties they face in integrating the values of their Catholic faith into their daily lives. The TeenSTAR Program has given her the tools to accompany young people and couples alike in the discovery of a holistic sexuality, i.e. one that touches all aspects of being (physical, emotional, intellectual, social and spiritual).

If you consider yourself a steward of St. Therese Institute of Faith and Mission, plan to Zoom in for this important annual meeting.
David Douglas (Executive Director), Christine Aalbers (Board Chair), and the rest of the Directors of the Board are seeking collaboration from our community this year as we prepare for new sustainability initiatives.
