PRAYERS for those affected by the Fires

Hay River Fire

Please include our Alberta Mackenzie Sisters in your prayers as many communities have been affected
by the wild fires.

The photo to the left is from the community of Hay River, NWT when it was evacuated due to encroaching fires. This photo is an ominous glimpse into what they are facing. Last year it was unprecedented flooding and this year fire.

May they be blessed with strength and courage in the days ahead and may their community be spared.
