Holy Family parish in Saskatoon has committed to a new vision that involves local and international outreach. The Prairie Messenger's Kiply Lukan Yaworski reports:

"Making a difference in our world" was one of three priorities identified in a parish visioning process launched when the Holy Family Parish moved into their new cathedral home just over a year ago, explains cathedral administrator Pat Clarke.

Within that particular priority, there are two focuses: making a difference in the local community, and making a difference beyond our borders. In terms of international outreach, connection and mission, the parish is working to establish a relationship with Bunda diocese in Tanzania, he says.

"What was most important to us was that making a difference in our world was not just about raising funds, giving cash and wiping our hands," says Tumback. "But it is also about relationships."
