As the demand for food banks continues to increase, these fridges are an important support for those who may not have enough to feed themselves or their families.
Regina’s three community fridges can be found at
1) 1510 12th Avenue
2) 3037 Dewdney Ave
3) Cathedral Fridge is located on east parking lot of Holy Rosary Cathedral.

ROGATIONTIDE from the Latin word, “ rogare” ( “to ask”) is a three day period of fasting and prayer which begins this Monday, leading up the Feast of the Ascension, which we celebrate on Thursday. In England, a common feature of the rogation days in former times was the ceremony of “beating of the bounds” in which a procession of parishioners, led by the minister, churchwarden, and choir would proceed around the boundary of their and and pray for its protection in the forthcoming year. The Book of Common Prayer encourages us in rogationtide to make use of the Great Litany ( page 30) in our prayers, wherein we pray and intercede on behalf of the church and the entire world for its many needs. Today, being Rogation Sunday we will process out to St. Mary’s garden and pray God’s blessing upon the plants, and animals, and all the life of our parish and city, and that we might be good neighbors, showing forth the kingdom of God on earth.
THE FEAST of THE ASCENSION OF THE LORD will take place this Thursday beginning at 5.30 p.m. with shortened Evening Prayer followed by Holy Communion.
