As we embrace the spirit of the season, let us join together in anticipation and reflection during this first Sunday of Advent. May the coming weeks be filled with hope, peace, joy, and love. Let us cherish the moments of togetherness, kindness, and gratitude. Wishing all of our SDE and Parish families a blessed Advent Season as we prepare our hearts for the celebration of the birth of hope and light.

We had the dancers from Kehewin Cree Nation dance for us. Richelle Laliberte and her family, Tyyah Badger, LMoe Badger, Georgia Badger, and Maximus Laliberte performed for us today. They performed a woman's Northern Traditional dance, a Woman's Crow dance, a Woman's jingle dress dance, 2 Men's fancy dance, and 2 Men's chicken dance. This was an amazing performance.
