… it all started when a man and a woman said “I DO”… Well, it actually started a while before that but let’s skip to the really good part……a man and a woman said “I DO” and life would never be the same again. Shortly after this momentous day their hearts were drawn to the idea of being missionaries in their own country, through the witness of their family life. God’s ways aren’t always our ways and so, even though the desire and the zeal were there, God’s timing was yet to be revealed. Six grace filled years of marriage and four kids later they found themselves packing to move to Telegraph Creek; the most remote community in BC accessible by road.
Of course there is much more to the story, so come along with us and share in encountering God’s joy, grace, and mercy, as the rest of our story unfolds.
We hope you enjoy sharing in our journey with us!

Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few; so ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest.” (Matt 9:37-38) You now are the laborers going into the harvest! What an exciting adventure, what a sacrifice for God! May God Bless you all on your journey. Our prayers are with you and we will have the holy sacrifice of the Mass offered for you at St. Anthony’s Parish in Calgary. Deacon Ron and Sandra Fortier

” God’s ways aren’t always our ways ”
No! Our way, our real our is our way, everything else is belief and therefore not reality and therefore not morality for; what exists is what works and what works is what’s right (morality). Underneath what you think is you is the real you and that is the only way for you, everything else is bunk. Bill

My husband and I were blessed to see your beautiful family at Mass at the Cathedral in Victoria on Sunday, Aug. 20, 2017. We were visiting from our home in Tampa, and I was immediately intrigued by your story, and I wanted to know more. I’m so glad you have this blog to share your journey–we also have 3 girls and 2 boys, in that order, like yours! Of course ours are grown now, but it seems like yesterday they were little, and I love seeing the happy, healthy faces of your little tribe growing up in such natural beauty and in service to others. God Bless you as you continue your walk–please know that you have evangelized others very far away–I look forward to sharing your story with other families in Florida. Warm Regards– Annette Fly (and husband Ron, soon to be permanent deacon in the Diocese of St. Petersburg). ps–I also enjoy the Sunday reflections!
