The mission of the Diocese of St. Catharines is founded in the mission of Jesus Christ. In the Gospel of St. John, Jesus states that He came down from heaven, "not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me." (Jn6:38) Jesus' mission is doing the will of his Father. This is the will of the Father, "that all who see the Son and believe in him will have eternal life, and I will raise them up on the last day". (Jn 6:40)
The Diocese of St. Catharines' mission is rooted in doing the Father's will by proclaiming His son to the world so that all can know, love and serve Him. This mission is lived out on a daily basis in our parishes, schools and Catholic institutions. We find clergy, religious and laity committed to proclaiming the good news of Jesus Christ by witnessing to His truth, justice, love and mercy. St. Catharines Diocese is where faith lives.

2016-2017 Meeting Dates Approved
During the May 24 Board Meeting, the Board approved the meeting dates for the 23016-2017 academic year.
The approved 2016-2017 School Year calendar, which includes meeting dates, is available here.
2016-2017 Annual Budget Approved
After months of working diligently to ensure Niagara Catholic's cost structure is aligned with the Board's estimated 2016-2017 Ministry revenue, on May 24, Trustees approved the 2016-2017 Annual Budget, which is balanced without the use of prior year surplus funds.
The 2016-2017 Annual Budget is set at $254,053,854, an increase of $211,000 over 2015-2016.
In March, the Ministry of Education announced funding for the 2016-2017 school year. This includes a 1.25 per cent increase for salaries, a result of the central labour agreements within the province.
Keeping this, an estimated decline in enrollment of 426 students for 2016-2017, and the two per cent benchmark for School Operations Allocation in mind, Senior Administrative Council presented a budget which addresses these issues and accomplishes the expectations of the Vision 2020 Strategic Plan.
The Report on the 2016-2017 Balanced Board Budget is available in the May 24 Board Meeting agenda. The complete 2016-2017 Budget Book will be made available online shortly.
Board Supports Niagara Catholic Athletic Association
During the May 24 Board Meeting, Trustees endorsed a report presented by Superintendent of Education Mark Lefebvre, and Niagara Catholic Health and Physical Education, Science and Social Science Consultant Mike Sheahan which would see Niagara Catholic form its own Athletic Association.
Niagara Catholic's eight Catholic secondary schools are part of the Southern Ontario Secondary School Athletic Association (SOSSA) and within this association, participate fully in the Niagara Regional Secondary Schools Athletic Association (NRHSAA) and are members of the Ontario Federation of Secondary School Athletics (OFSAA).
Our student-athletes compete against schools from the District School Board of Niagara, French Public and Catholic schools, private schools and independent schools.
This arrangement has proven to be challenging to Niagara Catholic schools (and student-athletes) for a variety of reasons, including being in a minority when voting on constitutional issues, the implementation of a tier system for sports (especially football) which prohibits our students from experiencing a true athletic experience and the way in which OFSAA's transfer rules for eligibility.
A Niagara Catholic Athletic Association would be similar in scope to the way other Catholic boards in Ontario have set up their athletic programs; in particular, boards like Hamilton Catholic, London Catholic and Waterloo Catholic. If approved at the Niagara Regional level, Niagara Catholic schools would compete against each other in league play for team sports, and enter back into Zone 3 (South Niagara) and Zone 4 (North Niagara) for SOSSA qualification.
If approved, individual or single athlete sports such as Cross Country or Track and Field from Niagara Catholic schools would continue to compete in the current Zone structure.

Trustees Approve Final Long Term Accommodation Report
At the April 26 Board Meeting, Trustees approved the third phase of the Board's Long-Range Accommodations Plan for Niagara Catholic's 57 Catholic elementary and secondary schools. This phase focused on potential boundary changes, closings, amalgamations and potential space-sharing with outside agencies.
During the May 10 Committee of the whole Meeting, Trustees reviewed the complete Long-Term Accommodations Plan, which included a number of updates. Among the options being discussed is examining the potential of a joint venture with the French Catholic District School Board to build a new joint-use Catholic elementary school in downtown St. Catharines that would be occupied by St. Nicholas Catholic Elementary School and Ecole Immaculee Conception.
Following that meeting, copies of the Long Term Accommodation Plan were provided to all administrators, Catholic School Council Chairs, the Chairs of Niagara Catholic's SEAC Committee and Niagara Catholic Parent Involvement Council, Alliance Committee, Mayors and municipalities throughout Niagara.
During the May 24 Board Meeting, Trustees endorsed all three phases of Niagara Catholic's Long Term Accommodation Plan. All information, agendas and minutes related to Long Term Accommodation Planning will be posted on the Board website. Read the approved report here.
Policies Approved
During the May 24 Board Whole Meeting, Trustees approved two updated policies.
Reimbursement of Travel Expenses Policy (201.4) and Establishment and Cyclical Review of Policies Policy (100.5) were updated following a vetting process. A third policy – Access to Board Premises – Safe Schools Policy (302.6.3) – was sent back to Policy Committee for further review. The Board regularly reviews policies to ensure that they continue to comply with Ministry of Education requirements and meet the needs of the system.

Gaffney man arested for pointing air gun at another driver
Published: Tuesday, January 22, 2013 at 8:57 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, January 22, 2013 at 8:57 p.m.
A Gaffney man was arrested Monday after deputies say he pointed an air gun at a driver on Interstate 85.
Taylor McCrae Norton, 22, of 749 Grassy Pond Road, was charged with pointing and presenting a firearm, according to online jail records.
An incident report states that deputies received a call that someone driving a silver Crown Victoria had pointed a pistol at the driver of a gold Dodge Neon on Interstate 85 Business South about 4:40 p.m.
A deputy found the Crown Victoria on I-85 and stopped it on Hearon Circle. Other deputies arrived and ordered the driver out at gunpoint due to the nature of the call, the report states.
After a deputy handcuffed Norton, he was asked if he had any weapons. Norton said he had a toy gun in the car. Deputies found a .177-caliber air pistol under the front seat, the report states.
Norton was released from the Spartanburg County Detention Facility on Tuesday on a $5,000 bond.

FEARING TOWNSHIP-No people or animals were injured or killed when two barns and several pieces of farm equipment were destroyed by fire on a farm at 640 Stanleyville Narrows Road around 8:15 p.m. Saturday.
"The farm foreman had apparently just fed the cows, but they were outside the barns when the fire broke out," said Washington County Sheriff Larry Mincks.
Farm manager Larry Landis, who lives on the property, told sheriff's deputies he had been in the barn feeding the cows about an hour before the fire began, but had then driven into town on an errand.

When he returned the barns were ablaze.
"The large barn was fully involved when we arrived at the scene-you could see the boards inside glowing red," said Jeff Lauer, chief of the Fearing Township Volunteer Fire Department.
He said firefighters concentrated on saving a second, smaller barn located nearby that suffered some damage due to radiant heat from the fully-engulfed larger barns. Silos standing next to the burning barns were also damaged.
Fact Box
Barn fire
Two barns and several pieces of farm equipment were destroyed by fire around 8:15 p.m. Saturday at 640 Stanleyville Narrows Road in Fearing Township.
No people or animals were injured or killed in the blaze.
The property is owned by local businessman John Lehman.
Fearing, Lower Salem, Devola and Reno volunteer fire companies responded.
Several other buildings, including the farm manager's house, were located not far from the blaze. Lauer said there was some concern for those facilities as high winds were blowing sparks and embers into the air from the burning barns.
Firefighters stayed on the scene through most of the night.
"There were about 360 large bales of hay, four tractors, mowers, an (all-terrain vehicle), and other farm equipment inside," Mincks said Sunday. "The fire was of undetermined origin, and the state fire marshal's office is expected to investigate by Tuesday."
He said the property is owned by local businessman John Lehman, who was out of town when the fire occurred.
No official estimate of the damage was available Sunday.
Bales of hay were still smoldering and flames had rekindled in a small outbuilding near the road late Sunday morning.
Lauer said the hay-mostly rolled into round bales-could continue to smolder for a couple of days, and firefighters would continue to keep an eye out for any hot spots.

Mouth-to-snout breathing brings puppy back to life
WENATCHEE — For more than 15 minutes Friday, Wenatchee firefighter Mike Day gave mouth-to-snout resuscitation to a black Lab named Loki.
It worked. The 5-month-old pup, who had been caught in an apartment fire, started breathing on his own and may make a full recovery.

I have decided that i might sell my signed Tin Machine tour programme.I got it at the Amsterdam concert (Paradiso, 24th June 1989)it is signed by Reeves , Tony Hunt and David.Any ideas how much this should bring?
Hard to tell, I don't think people are paying much for autographs on Ebay because of all the fakes on there. Actually you can't be 100% sure that these autographs are real either (it could always be roadies trying to make a quick buck).With all that said, I might be interested in buying this. What kind of amount did you have in mind for this.
I may be interested also. How much though?My school district is robbing us of our individuality. Individuality shall not be censored!
I bought a fully signed and framed programme on ebay the other day for Ł36 (Ł40 with shipping).I have wanted one for a while and thought why not, I have studied many bowie autographs both real and fake, the one I bought is a great example of a real one, I have also compared the autographs of the Sales brothers and Reeves and they are spot on."The sex is in the rhythm"
I got it today, it's realy cool and I am very happy with it."The sex is in the rhythm"
well, that is too low aprice for me to be selling it, and so, i'll have it framed myself!:)After all, i'd only sell such a treasured posessions if it brought a VERY tidy sum.
I know what you mean, I will never sell mine now.They seem to go up in value each year."The sex is in the rhythm"
In reply to:Maarten
I adore your avatar. Where on earth did you get it?Mousey - The new sad, self-obsessed, boring, shallow, telling-you-to-eat-shit, homophobic whore of TW.
Thanks!I made it from video footage of Bowie filming the video for Heroes and the commercial for that LP.
It is cool, and original."The sex is in the rhythm"

In the middle of Silicon Valley's most important week of the current earnings season, Google (GOOG) and Apple (AAPL) gained on Wall Street as Tuesday's encouraging tech earnings gave investors hope that Wednesday's highly anticipated reports would also exceed expectations.
Google was one of a handful of tech companies to top analysts' projections for earnings in the holiday quarter Tuesday, as CEO Larry Page heralded the company's work in mobile advertising and said the Mountain View search giant is getting closer to turning around Motorola Mobility, which it aquired for $12.5 billion.
"We're serving our users with amazing products that are getting even better," Page said in Tuesday's conference call. "Our mobile business is going very well."
Analysts rushed to increase their price targets for Google after the strong report, with Reuters reporting that at least 12 increased their projections for the best price at which to sell Google stock. The largest of those increases came from Cantor Fitzgerald, which added $80 to its price target, pushing it to $900.
"Fourth-quarter results highlight very healthy performances in both search and display, confirming Google's position as one of the best global plays on secular growth in online advertising and e-commerce," Cantor Fitzgerald analysts wrote in a note Wednesday morning. "Motorola remains a show-me story, but one that seems on track for a turnaround, with only modest expectations."
Google gained $38.63, or 5.5 percent, to close at $741.50 Wednesday.
Other valley tech companies that released results Tuesday also gained in Wednesday trading: struggling Sunnyvale chipmaker Advanced Micro Devices advanced 11.4 percent to $2.73 after confirming that its losses were not as great as analysts expected; Intuitive Surgical, also based in Sunnyvale, gained 9.4 percent after its earnings report revealed strong demand for the medical device company's da Vinci surgical robots; and San Jose's Super Micro Computer increased 18.6 percent after announcing a record quarter for net sales.
Elsewhere in the tech world, IBM increased 4.4 percent after growing profits year-over-year for the 40th consecutive quarter. The lone dark spot was Texas Instruments, which dropped 1.1 percent after warnings that demand in 2013 is unclear.
Analysts said the wave of strong reports Tuesday reflected well on the tech industry in general, which had been expected to be a ballast on overall earnings for the holiday quarter. A Thomson Reuters analysis of projections earlier this month showed that analysts expected profits to shrink 1.1 percent year-over-year for tech companies, despite expectations of overall earnings growth.
"Tech companies are really shattering expectations, which is obviously helping markets. There doesn't seem to be an end to this rally," said Todd Schoenberger, managing partner at LandColt Capital, told Reuters.

Brilliant little application, works well - shows which files are using up space intuitively. It's saved me quite a few gigs already. Definately a keeper.
@dirt_farmer : Version 0.9.13 unfortunately contained a bug, caused by a silly typo, that could indeed trigger crashes when scanning. The bug has been fixed in Version 0.9.13.1. The reason the bug had made its way into the release is because it did not manifest itself on my machine. :-(
Sometimes when my disk is near full I start up GrandPerspective and can see what is taking up all the place. Great tool.
Errr.... sorry about the multiple posts. The damn site froze whilst I was attempting to post the comment.
I've used this for a long time, and love it. But today's (8/26) release constantly crashes whenever I scan anything! I've tried downloading it three different times. Anyone else having this problem? I've done the usually maintenance (permission repair, etc.)
I just used this to get back 11GB from my home directory, including a left-over 5GB Parallels disk image I had no idea about.
@norz: I don't think you have yet tried the latest release yet. If you do, you will find that GrandPerspective now (optionally) hides the contents of packages. :-)

I always think that a party is a good way to raise money. Our disc golf club at WIU would throw a keg to raise money. Granted that is in a college atmosphere, but we could do something along those lines. In all of the fundrasing schemes that I have been a part of, which has been many (college baseball, college disc golf, to name a few) activities always seemed to work the best. We would have a baseball camp for kids indoors during the winter months and we raised a ton doing that. We were required to sell raffle tcikets at $2 a pop to win a trip to Las Vegas. That didn't do nearly as well. We also had to send 40 letters out to people asking to donoate money to the baseball program. No body responded except family members, if that.
To make a long story short, when you ask people to donate money, in my experience, the results aren't very good. When you ask people for money and give them a service (activite) in return the results are much greater.
The challenge in fundraising is getting people commited to taking a role. With that being said, I guess that is one positive of the drop box.
Does any one remeber the little league days when you had to go door to door and sell candy bars. Now that is fundrasing at its best.

LUXEMBOURG (AP) -- Greece and its international lenders need to reach agreement quickly on a program of reforms so the next tranche of aid can be released, according to the head of the group finance ministers from the 17 countries that use the euro.
Inspectors for the so-called "troika" -- the International Monetary Fund, the European Central Bank, and the European Commission -- are currently in Greece, looking for ways to balance the country's budget.
Jean-Claude Juncker, the eurogroup chief, speaking in Luxembourg after a meeting of the finance ministers of the 17 euro countries, praised Greek officials and their willingness to do what's necessary for the country.
Also, the finance ministers approved (euro) 800 million ($1036.64 million) in bailout money for Portugal. The remainder of the next (euro) 4.3 billion tranche of aid must be approved by the IMF and the full 27 EU finance ministers.

More views of the Tiananmen Tank Man Jun 06 2012
I've seen several versions of the iconic Tank Man photo but here's a little-known wider view that shows just how many tanks the guy was holding up.
Larger version here. There is also, amazingly, video of the incident:
You'll note at the end that the man is hustled off by a group of people. See also the Tank Man of Tiananmen (via @polarben)

OAKLAND -- Tears were forming in Jose Canseco's eyes.
He'd just learned that Dennis Eckersley had said some nice things about him, some supportive things, some things that might ease Canseco's anxiety about being back at the Coliseum, back among his teammates for the first time since he told the story of steroids in baseball.
"Eck," he told him later. "Thanks for what you said. You saved me."
Eckersley laughed. "That's what I do -- saves."
The vulnerability Canseco showed, the anxiety he felt about how he would be received by teammates and fans, the remorse he expressed for writing the book that changed baseball (for the better), and the booming ovation he received Saturday stand out among the exhausting swirl of events surrounding the weekend celebration of the 1989 World Series championship team.
I had covered the A's daily from 1985-88, so I knew the team well. And because I knew little else when I was promoted to the job of columnist in 1989, the A's were my fallback position, always there when I needed a column. The relationships I forged might not be possible today, given tighter restrictions on media access, and they were not all good.
But they drew me back to the Coliseum last Friday. And then they drew me back again Saturday, back to Oakland, back in time.
Not everybody made it. Eck's right-handed set-up man, Gene Nelson, could not be found. Storm Davis, a 19-game winner in '89, had a health issue. Ron Hassey, the catcher, just had a knee replaced. Walt Weiss, then the reigning rookie of the year, is now a manager. Terry Steinbach and Rick Honeycutt are major league coaches and, yes, so is Mark McGwire.
It is with McGwire that Canseco seems to feels the greatest regret, because McGwire was the greatest casualty of Canseco's public revelations. "Mister McGwire," as Canseco deferentially referred to him once Friday, is one significant character with whom Canseco has not spoken since his book published in 2005. Canseco said he would like to change that.
But this wasn't the weekend for that. McGwire wasn't here, probably for the best, and Canseco already had enough fence-mending to do with Carney Lansford and Dave Stewart, the two greatest leaders of that team, and Tony La Russa, the ultimate leader.
By all accounts, some degree of healing occurred on all fronts.
Mike Moore was the first person I saw Friday, coming toward me with a big warm greeting. His sharp facial features have been rounded by age, and his warm approach was so out of character, I had no clue who it was coming toward me. I hoped to catch a glimpse at the back of his jersey. In the end, I was forced to give him an enthusiastic "Heyyyyy!"
Moore, another 19-game winner that season, wasn't a bad guy. But he was a bad quote, and he kept his distance from reporters. We kept ours too, in a way; at least one beat writer (not me) planned his days off around the A's pitching rotation, making sure to miss Moore's games because they always ran so long. The man deliberated between pitches like a judge in a death-sentence case.
Dave Stewart is the best guy I ever covered. The fact that we've been out of touch for 20 years is a regret of mine, and that's the first thing I said to him Friday. This is a guy who knew when a writer had taken a day off. For context, I tell this story, and it is much more representative of the athlete-writer relationship: A player once asked me where I'd been the last couple of days. At the time, I had been off the beat for a couple of years!
But Stew knew when you'd been gone a day. And you knew he knew, because the next day he'd greet you by asking what you did on your day off.
He also was the best big-game pitcher I ever saw and I don't need stats to know that, his 9-1 lifetime record against Roger Clemens notwithstanding.
If my life depended on one game, my starting pitcher would be Stew. The final score might be 1-0, or it might be 6-5. But he would win. And I would live.
Tony Phillips might have been the best pure athlete on that team, maybe better than Rickey, though football probably tilts the scales Rickey's way. (By the way, both of those guys look like they could play today -- football or baseball)
Phillips' play on the final out of the '89 Series was testimony to his athleticism. Ranging deep into the hole between first and second, he corralled Brett Butler's ground ball and then, throwing across his body, led Eckersley perfectly to the bag.
That was the last play Phillips made in an A's uniform until 1999 -- a fact I'd forgotten or had never known until last weekend. Following the '89 Series, Phillips left as a free agent and played for six teams before finishing an 18-year career with a homecoming season in Oakland.
He remains a live wire. We watched much of Friday night's game on TV and when a hit batsman increased the possibility of a brouhaha, Tony left the room to watch from a field location. Had a brawl broken out, it would not have surprised me in the least to see him out there, sport coat and all.
Dave Parker was a big man, the biggest in the Oakland clubhouse, bigger than either Big Mac or Canseco, though less sculpted. Weakened by Parkinson's, he could not walk the red carpet from center field Saturday. When his name was called, he emerged slowly from the dugout, barely able to lift his arm to wave. And then, with sadness falling over the scene, he somehow broke into a trot and joined his teammates at the pitching mound.
Bob Welch passed away last month from causes still unknown. Two of his children, son Riley and daughter Kelly, watched the ceremony Saturday from the dugout. His eldest, son Dylan, was not in attendance. Dylan was born in 1989, that championship season. I can still see Bobby pushing the stroller through the ruins of the Marina District in San Francisco the day after the earthquake.
At his passing, Welch was recalled as an exceptionally supportive teammate. "Bobby was a top-step guy," said Eckersley, and there is no higher praise from a baseball dugout.
I stood on the top step of that dugout Saturday while a video tribute to Welch played on the big screen. I stole a glance at Welch's two children behind me in the dugout. Kelly was gently leaning her head on Riley's shoulder. Riley was crying.
There are few things I regret more in my career than what I wrote about Welch before Game 3 of the '89 Series. Welch was scheduled to pitch that game and his legendary nervousness represented the Giants' best chance to get back into the series after losing the first two games in Oakland.
I referred to him in print as "Basket-Case Bobby -- not once, but several times. It is a regret I have carried for 25 years. I had a chance to clean it up 15 years ago when I was researching a piece for the 10th anniversary of that Series. In fact, when I phoned him, Bobby told me a story that had never been told: He wasn't going to pitch Game 3 because he'd pulled a muscle shagging fly balls in the outfield.
I, in turn, told him nothing.
I was going to make things right at this reunion.
I'm sorry, Bobby. RIP.
With nobody did I bend the rules of journalism more than I did with Eck. Our professional relationship became personal, and it remains so.
All I'm going to say: I would call on him to save the game Stew starts, with my life on the line.
And I would live.
I go back farther with Tony La Russa than with anybody on that team, almost anybody in baseball. We met in 1983 when he was a young manager for the White Sox and I was a rookie beat reporter in Milwaukee, covering the Brewers, then an American League team.
We were in regular touch till the last several years, so it wasn't until Saturday that I congratulated him on his retirement from baseball (ha! he's already working a new job) and his 2011 championship, won in such storybook fashion, comebacks from the final out and final strike.
As it unfolded, miracle after miracle, only a handful of people knew the bigger story: La Russa had informed his bosses in July that he was going to retire at the end of the season.
When he retired and the story was disclosed, I recalled one of things La Russa used to say: The game doesn't owe you anything.
I think the game was repaying La Russa that October. I have a fair sense of what he gave up to be the manager he was. I know the sacrifices he made to his health, the compromises he made to family life. On the day of his mother's funeral in Florida, he was back in time for first pitch.
So as he stood in that dugout in October 2011, watching the miracle unfold, knowing he was at the end....
"Yes, that thought crossed my mind a few times,' he said Saturday. And then he snapped back into dugout mode. "But you can't think that way."
La Russa will be inducted into the Hall of Fame this weekend in Cooperstown, N.Y. He asked if I would be there, and I detected a hint of disappointment when I told him that I would not.
"We go back a long way," he said.
He has me thinking now. Maybe I should. Maybe I will. Maybe I can't.
It's not the travel time, but the time-travel that's so exhausting.
