Local News:
        - Felix and Jane (Beyke) Kryzanowski of Regina celebrated their 25th
wedding anniversary during the past Christmas holiday.  They had a
come-and-go afternoon visiting at their home.
        - Grant Croswell and Colleen Lissamer left Saskatoon to establish
their new home in Victoria near his mother who is alone since Grant's Father
passed away last Fall. They sold their resume and job finding business and
hope to start anew on the Island.
        - Ron and Verna Bircham of Prince Albert are preparing to go to
Africa with a missionary group.
        - Bishop Mallon ordained two married Deacons in Regina last Fall.
They are posted to look after parishes that had a resident priest at one
time. In January there was one  ordination to the "transitional" deaconate,
meaning on the way to priesthood. Felix and Jane were "insulted" when near
the end of the ceremony the bishop said that the deacon is to go now and
serve the Lord with "undivided heart".  They wondered if that implied that
all married people are doomed to serve the Lord with "divided heart".

Corpus-related information:

        - I received a letter from the International Federation of Married
Catholic Priests, signed by Julio Pinillos, President, and Lambert van
Gelder, Secretary. They asked for comments on the proposed new Statutes for
the Federation. The statutes have to be re-written in proper legal language
to qualify for non-governmental organization status in Belgium. This would
mean that the Federation "may call upon the material support of the UNO".
        The document is too long to include here, but is available by Fax if
anyone wants it from me. I replied by e-mail that I saw no problems and had
no further comment as far as this member of Corpus Canada could see, but
would let the membership know of the letter and relate any comments.

        - Another letter came from Fr. Bob Kiffman who is doing a thesis at
St. Paul University Seminary in Ottawa. His thesis title is "The
Implementation of Canon Law in Ontario Regarding the Decent Support for
Retired Diocesan Clergy".
       He writes: "Since your membership continues to be presbyters, I am
considering some inclusion in the thesis of the retirement status of
inactive presbyters".
        He would like information (may be anonymous) concerning what pension
or settlements were or were not received, and what the present financial
status is of the "inactive presbyter".
        Anyone interested can contact me for further information.
