Brag Spring 2022

2022 St. Edmund Campion medal:
MARIAN
For the first time in Campion history, the 2022 St. Edmund Campion medal is
being awarded to an organization instead of an individual. The Jesuit Fathers
of Saskatchewan and our students regularly volunteer and spend time at
the Marian Centre where they come away inspired to help those in need in our
community.
The five members of the Apostolate were part of the 2022 Spring Convocation
ceremony where Charlie Cavanaugh gave greetings and words of wisdom to our
graduates.

Brief history of the Marian Centre
Marian Centre opened in 1966 in response to an invitation
by Archbishop Michael O’Neill that Madonna House
Apostolate come to Regina to serve the transient and
poor of this city.
The people of the Archdiocese of Regina responded
overwhelmingly with labour, funds and materials to convert an
abandoned printing shop into a place of refuge and peace. For
56 years, members of the Madonna House Apostolate have, with
the help of many generous volunteers and benefactors, provided
meals and used clothing to those who have come in need.
At the moment, five members of their community live a communal
life of prayer, and humble service at the Marian Centre. They do this
by first striving to be faithful to their communal lifetime commitment
of poverty, chastity and obedience, and then by sharing friendship
and warm hospitality to all in a spirit of simplicity and humility. There
is no charge for meals, no question asked, no judgement made.
Christ said, “What you do to the least of my brothers or sisters, you do
to me.” It is with reverence that they welcome those who come.
