Catholics are hitting the good book this fall as a new faith-sharing program begins in the Sault Ste. Marie diocese. Gospel themes, including discipleship, charity and forgiveness, make up ARISE Together in Christ's five six-week blocks to be completed over 30 months. “Our relationship with Christ basically needs to be renewed,” said Bishop Jean-Louis Plouffe.

A “good project” for the Roman Catholic Diocese of Sault Ste. Marie is even better because it's a grassroots venture, Bishop Jean-Louis Plouffe says. He is pleased parishioners at the Sault's oldest Catholic church are backing a $4-million project that will add gardens, a multi-use building, repository and columbarium to the 138-year-old place of worship. The Journey has attracted about 200 volunteers.
