Lumen Calgary: A Year Filled with Blessings and Growth!
This past September marked the first anniversary of Lumen Calgary, and what an incredible year it has been!
In October, we hosted a wonderful Marriage Retreat with seven couples. The highlight was a touching Mass and Renewal of Wedding Vows, honoring the sacred bond of matrimony. Our Leadership Breakfast Series resumed, bringing us inspiring messages: In October, we were inspired by Fr. Michael Picard, LC, followed by Fr. Daniel Wilson, LC in November, and Fr. Jerome Lavigne in December. In January 2025, we welcomed Fr. Anthony Sortino, LC. Mark your calendars for the next gathering on February 13! Click HERE to see the upcoming dates. Join us for a morning of inspiration and connection. In a modern-day miracle reminiscent of the loaves and fishes, we were grateful to witness our Lord provide $20,000 for the interior painting of Elizabeth House! It all began with $5,000 from our Calgary members, which was matched by a grant from Lumen International. With $10,000 secured, we collaborated with Roger’s Birdies for Kids, ultimately doubling our total to $20,000. Sean Maxwell and his daughter Pippa embarked on their fifth Father/Daughter Lumen Mission Trip to New Orleans. Additionally, John & Sol Wright and Kent & Kathy Wang proudly represented Calgary at the Lumen Summit in Houston, TX. We are thrilled to announce that plans are already in motion for the 2026 Lumen Summit in Banff! In November, Lumen Calgary proudly supported another beloved Regnum Christi initiative by sponsoring and operating the bar at the Captivenia Royal Banquet, which helped raise essential funds for this remarkable mission.
In December, Lumen Calgary hosted the annual Elizabeth House Christmas Party. Thank you to everyone who helped make this event a success!
Lastly, we’re excited to unveil our newly launched website! Visit lumencalgary.ca to stay connected and learn more about our mission.
Founded in September 2023, Lumen Calgary is the first international chapter!
