St. Paul’s welcomes unique iconBy Agnieszka Krawczynski

St. Paul’s Church in Vancouver has once again tipped its hat to the rich First Nations heritage of its parishioners.

A new icon displayed on its walls features St. Paul the Apostle clad in a woven ce-dar hat and holding a talking stick and a cedar bough on a typical West Coast shore.

“The people can see themselves in the icon,” art-ist Andre Prevost explained.

Many churchgoers at St. Paul’s and nearby Sacred Heart Church have First Na-tions backgrounds. Pastor Father Garry LaBoucane, OMI, who commissioned the icon, asked Prevost to make St. Paul an unmis-takably First Nations man evangelizing his own peo-ple.

“St. Paul is portrayed as teacher and messenger in the act of journeying,” Pre-vost said.

“The Coast Salish and Indigenous peoples can see themselves within the icon as bearers of the Good News and as having a shared ex-perience of St. Paul within their church.”

Although not Aboriginal himself, Prevost worked See NEW – Page 9

CatholicImmigrants from Columbia and Vietnam showcase their traditional dresses during the World Day of Migrants and Refugees celebration at St. Matthew’s church in Surrey Jan. 15.

By Agnieszka KrawczynskiFew people got as close

a look at Mother Teresa’s personal life as the sisters that lived with her. One man who shared the same kind of intimacy was her driver and bodyguard Father Brian Kolodiejchuk, MC.

“She would notice a per-son on the street lying there and she would ask to stop the car and go to that per-son,” Father Kolodiejchuk told about 50 people at Vancouver’s Protection of the Blessed Virgin Mary

Ukrainian Catholic Church Jan. 15.

The priest, who became the postulator for her cause for sainthood two years af-ter her death, shared stories about the saint’s personality and the impact she made on the world.

What made her stand out from the crowd, he said, was the immense love with which she performed even the smallest tasks.

“If you didn’t know what she looked like and you en-tered the chapel, in the very

ordinary things, like mak-ing the sign of the cross, the reverence in genufl ection before the Eucharist, you might notice something,” he said. “She was really Jesus-centred. Whatever she did was out of love for Him.”

Mother Teresa would share her “fi ve-fi nger Gos-pel” with sisters and those she met. Holding up one hand and assigning one word to each fi nger, she would quote Christ’s words: “You did it for me.”

“She did ordinary things with extraordinary love,” Father Kolodiejchuk said.

Even at the end of her life, when she was so frail she required a wheelchair and help to get dressed, Father Kolodiejchuk said the sisters were impressed with the great care she used in fastening the pins on her own head covering.

As he spoke, the priest also played clips from a fi lm about Mother Teresa, in which she explains her actions in her own words.

“To each one of us, He has given a special gift,” she told the camera. “May-be I can only peel potatoes, but I must do that peeling of potatoes beautifully. That’s my love for God in action. It is not how much we do, but how much love we put in the doing.”

Her care for the poor was manifest in scene af-ter scene as she stopped to speak with the sick, dying, and lonely.

By Joseph C. GloriaThe PraiseTEAM senior choir

is hoping to shed the stodgy, ste-reotypical image of church choirs when they perform at the Tom Lee City Stage for the 2009 Juno Awards in Vancouver on March 29.

“Any opportunity to perform really is a blessing: that’s the way

we see it,” said senior choir direc-tor Julio Fuentes. “I’m hoping that from performing at the Junos there will be more exposure for this group.”

PraiseTEAM will be perform-ing at noon on the last day of the four-day-long celebration of Canadian musical talents, which will kick off on March 26 with JunoFest 2009. The actual Juno Awards will begin at 5 p.m. on March 29. The senior choir will be performing alongside a host of live performances at the West-Jet Street Party, and tickets can be purchased for $15.

Fuentes, 24, is the creative and musical director and senior chore-ographer for PraiseTeam, the per-forming arts company stemming from the youth ministry at Our Lady of Good Counsel Parish in Surrey.

What started out as a humble company of nine performers in 1997 has now expanded into a large, multi-faceted, and award-winning deluge of talent and cre-

ativity, with over 120 performers of varying ages. The company of-fers choir and dance programs in several genres and is open to any-one, not just parishioners of Our Lady of Good Counsel Parish.

However, many PraiseTEAM members are from the parish and the local community, and most are from low-income fami-lies. “[PraiseTEAM] is not just a dance school that dances just be-cause they like to, but they enjoy dancing and using it as a form of ministering in the parish and do-ing other ministerial works,” said Solange Perrault, PraiseTEAM’s external affairs director.

Performers must audition to get into the senior choir. Ages range from teens in Grade 8 to young adults in their 20s. There is a small tuition fee.

Fuentes, who has been with PraiseTEAM dance since Octo-ber 2002, said most of the perfor-mance opportunities and awards go to the dancers, so “in terms See PRAISETEAM – Page 4

Sub tuum praesidium confugimus, Sancta Dei Genitrix

‘Brew’-haha steams over FAIR TRADE

By Laureen McMahonDo you want share in big

dreams? Then get to know Sa-cred Heart Elementary school in Delta. Their impressive track re-cord of dreaming big to help the less fortunate at home and around the world has earned the school a Big Dreamers Award from Club Penguin. The project funds Free the Children, the world’s largest organization of children helping children.

In the past decade, over $90,000 has been raised by the school for outreach projects, said teacher Dale Maingot. One of these is the Ursuline Sisters’ Rainbow of Hope for Children project to build a holistic health centre in the im-poverished Brazilian village of Marechel Deodoro.

Today, thanks to the students, teachers, and staff, Maingot ex-plained, the centre offers parenting and cooking classes, daycare and literacy programs, and counsel-ling services to families. A highly nutritious food supplement to alle-viate rampant malnutrition in the area has also been developed at the centre.

Sacred Heart, Maingot added, donates to local charities, has sup-ported an orphanage in Ghana, and has given to Operation Smile, which helps medical volunteers provide life-changing surgeries for children with facial deformi-ties such as cleft palate.See DREAMERS – Page 2

Can you Handel the return of the Messiah?Vancouver archdiocese and Chamber Choir co-sponsor Christmas classic againBy Brent Mattson

Three years after the Vancou-ver Chamber Choir performed Handel’s Messiah as part of the Archdiocese of Vancouver’s cen-tennial, the archdiocese will once again co-sponsor the event for the upcoming Christmas season.

Barbara Dowding, vice-chan-cellor of the archdiocese, said last time Messiah came to town, it was a smash success, so she en-courages everyone to get tickets early. “It was an extremely excit-ing event and sold out fast.” She expects it to be no different this time around.

George Frideric Handel’s Mes-siah, written by the Baroque com-poser in 1741, is one of his most popular works of choral music. It is an oratorio that covers the prophecy of salvation, Christ’s sacrifice, and the promise of res-urrection from the dead.

As in December 2008, the Van-couver Chamber Choir will per-form the German-British compos-er’s piece at two concerts at the

Orpheum Theatre in downtown Vancouver. The archdiocese will co-sponsor the second concert with the chamber choir Dec. 10.

The archdiocese will be selling half of the tickets to the Orpheum’s roughly 2,800 seats. Because those

tickets will be available through parishes, parishioners will save on taxes and Ticketmaster service charges, which can increase costs from $35 to nearly $50.

Students from Catholic schools will be invited to the dress re-

hearsal prior to the concert, which will be a “tremendous educational experience,” according to Paul Schratz, the archdiocese’s com-munications director.

Special Mass honours religiousPeople of God celebrate the World Day for Consecrated LifeBy Agnieszka Krawczynski

The World Day for Con-secrated Life is not only a time for consecrated men

and women to refl ect on their calling, but also for everyone to recommit them-selves to holiness. Estab-lished by Blessed John Paul II to be celebrated on the Feast of the Presentation of Our Lord, Feb. 2, the day is a celebration of vocations and of giving oneself totally to God.

“The sacrifi ce of the Son of God symbolized by His presentation in the temple is the model for every man and woman who conse-crates his or her life totally to the Lord,” said Archbish-op J. Michael Miller, CSB, during his homily in Cor-pus Christi Church for this year’s celebration.

Bl. John Paul II, who set the World Day in motion 16 years ago, said his primary reason for doing so was to “give unceasing thanks to the Lord, Who by this sin-gular gift of the Spirit See HOLINESS – Page 2

The evangelical univer-sity’s bid to establish the school had received criti-cism from the Council of

Canadian Law Deans.“We are exceedingly

pleased and grateful for his support of TWU and our proposed law school,” Raymond said. “The arch-bishop’s communiqué to the media was wonder-ful and most helpful. I am quite pleased, as are many on campus.”

Archbishop Miller had written, “Efforts to deny

Trinity Western University the right to a law school on the basis of its religious principles are an example of the threats to freedom of conscience and religion that are becoming increasingly common in this country.”

The irony of the situation is “disturbing,” according to the archbishop. “To at-tempt to bar faith from the development of those who

would practise the law is to undermine the foundations of conscience and integrity that in fact contributed to the modern Western legal system.”

He argued that the legal system needs more people who will follow their con-sciences rather than chang-ing demands.
