</div>There is no priest or pastoral worker at St. Theresa mission in Telegraph Creek, but with a little ingenuity and determination, I and Father Terry Brock from Terrace, B.C., are able to get there every month. Of course, we are on call 24/7 to help the people in difficult times. God always provides the way. <br />

<div style="text-align: center;">Thus, construction for our retreat house and rectory is focused on three essentials: </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">1) Sustainability </div><div style="text-align: center;">2) Conservation of energy </div><div style="text-align: center;">3) KEEPING WARM without COSTING a FORTUNE!!! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Good folks like the MacKinnons who support Catholic Missions make the life of our faith and celebration of the Mass and sacraments possible for the far-flung northern missions. Though we were unable to catch a lake trout in Alton Lake, we experienced together the work of the Lord being fishers of men and women in the kingdom of God. <br />

The bald eagle and the sheer beauty of this corner of God’s kingdom were a sign of welcome, and the gracious love of God experienced through the tiny Catholic community will, I hope, leave a lasting impression in their hearts.Bishop Gary M.

While I was doing the cutting, Michelle Lefebre and Frank Quinn began clearing and stacking the cut trees to be used either for a cabin or for firewood. <br />
<br />
After a long day in the bush, I drove to Ross River to install our new missionaries at St. Michael’s mission. <br />
<br />
John and Irene Morin standing on the front steps of the church are overjoyed at being called by God and installed as pastoral administrators of this community of 350 people. <br />

Whitehorse, Yukon—This is a sod-turning ceremony, Yukon-style.<br />
<br />
On the Saturday before Pentecost (May 22), eight good folks joined me in planting 500 pounds of seed potatoes on property the Diocese of Whitehorse has purchased for the building of a retreat centre for the church and a house for the bishop.<br />
<br />
It was a glorious day and the fine soil God had provided was incentive for the joyful crew.<br />
<br />
A little rain early Pentecost morning was a perfect gift to get our little crop settled in for some good summer growing.<br />
<br />
The road work is being completed this week, as well as some excavation for the bishop’s house, which will replace the very drafty and very old house I am in now.<br />
<br />
The grace of God and the generosity of Catholic Missions In Canada is making things happen.<br />
<br />
Happy Pentecost!<br />
<br />
Bishop Gary Gordon, Diocese of Whitehorse, Yukon<br />
