March 7, Diocesan Charismatic Renewal Committee Annual Conference – The annual conference will be held on Saturday, March 7 at St Michael Parish, Prince Albert.  Fr. Jim Kaptein will be sharing his testimonial. Although he loves the story of St Paul being knocked off his horse by God, his story based on family example is much different. Fr.
