W5 program this Saturday/Sunday (November 14/15, 2009)

Friends,

One of the most difficult issues that I have ever had to deal with as a pastor was when our local funeral director became addicted to major drugs and descended into a personal hell - a hell he sadly inflicted upon others in a very personal and horrific way when he started to "kite" human remains the way that one might do with a cheque. The end result was the need to disinter quite a few buried remains and their transfer them to their proper graves, a process that wounded many families in our town and parish.

W5, a CTV news program has completed a 30 minute story on this tragedy which will air this weekend.

I recommend it to anyone who would want to understand the effects of sin upon others, as well as how a community can respond to its' members who suffer such a personal and intimate wound.

The program will air at 7 pm on Saturday and again on Sunday at noon. The Mattawa piece will be aired in the 2nd half of the program.

All good things must come to an end

Well, it's been a hell of a ride, laying rubber all over the road for the past decade. But it's time to call it a day and park the Rogue in the garage. Effective today, I am shutting down my blog to focus my attention on other endeavours. My thanks to the more than 2.7 million people who regularly joined me on these sojourns through news stories over the years that dealt with the places with issues of religion and faith intersecting with public affairs. May God bless you with a continuing desire to learn about and help disseminate the issues of faith throughout the public square. Happy trails in your continuing travels! Fr. Tim Moyle, p.p.
