Volume 28 - Issue 11TRANSCRIPT
ST MARY MAGDALENE PARISH Sunday March 18, 2012
Fourth Sunday of Lent Year B
Gospel John 3:14-21
Jesus said to Nicodemus:
„And just as Moses lifted up the serpent
in the wilderness, so must the Son of
Man be lifted up, 15that whoever
believes in him may have eternal life.
16For God so loved the world that he
gave his only Son, so that everyone who
believes in him may not perish but may
have eternal life. 17Indeed, God did not
send the Son into the world to condemn
the world, but in order that the world
might be saved through him. 18Those
who believe in him are not condemned;
but those who do not believe are
condemned already, because they have
not believed in the name of the only Son
of God. 19And this is the judgment, that
the light has come into the world, and
people loved darkness rather than light
because their deeds were evil. 20For all
who do evil hate the light and do not
come to the light, so that their deeds may
not be exposed. 21But those who do what
is true come to the light, so that it may be
clearly seen that their deeds have been
done in God.‟
Thoughts on the Gospel
„During the first three weeks of Lent we
considered various aspects of our
covenant relationship with God and the
privileges and responsibilities that flow
from it. Today we turn our gaze on God‟s
covenant relationship with us, and we are
astounded at what we perceive. Despite our
infidelity, God remains faithful to us;
despite the steps we take toward our own
destruction, God continues to offer us a
second chance at life. Such is the “depth
and breadth and height” of God‟s love.
„However—and it is a significant
however—God does not force anything
upon us. We are free to choose. We can
accept God‟s loving gestures, or we can
refuse them. We see this in today‟s
readings. Before the Israelites could return
to the land, they had to return to God. In
the Gospel account, Nicodemus was told
that people can choose to believe or not
believe in Christ; they can prefer darkness
to the light. There has always been a
choice. Today the choice is ours to make.
Will we make it?
„Confident of God‟s merciful love, we are
able to repent, return to God and start
anew. Like the people of ancient Israel, we
can indeed rebuild our broken lives and our
disgraced church. We can create a world
based on cooperation rather than
competition, on respect rather than
discrimination. God‟s love has been
offered; the choice is ours.‟

The Woman That Has Most Inspired Me…submitted by Velma J. Roy The woman that has most inspired our
family is our Daughter, Mother, Sister,
Auntie, Kokum, Chapan and Godmother,
Claire Roy
Even though she has been through her own
rough times, she has been the lifeline, the
center and the calming ground in our family.
She‟s always put other‟s feelings before her
own and always found a way to make laughter
out of any situation.
When our dad, George Roy, passed away even
though the pain was great for her, she never
let it get in the way of taking care of her
family. She kept us all together when we felt
like falling apart. We felt her pain like it was
our own when her Daddy, Ralph Laliberte
passed away. We held her while she cried then
as always her inner strength came through and
she once again squared her shoulders and
helped her family adjust to life without our
Mooshum and her Daddy.
Mom helped in many community functions
either by cooking, filleting fish or wherever/
whenever a volunteer was needed. There are
many stories told about hearing mom‟s
laughter ringing through the crowds as she
had a knack for saying the silliest things. She
had many quick comebacks or one-liners that
would bring shocked looks from people and
then outbursts of laughter.
There have been many family functions or
community meals where Mom Claire has been
the cook. She has taught her daughters some
of her cooking secrets but we have yet to get a
recipe… you cannot measure 3 handfuls of
this with a little bit of this and that!
Mom was diagnosed with lung cancer and to
anyone else faced with this news; it would have
brought tears and depression for sure, but not
Claire Roy! She looks at us and says “I don‟t
wanna lose my hair!” Our visits to the
Chemotherapy and Radiation doctors, although
sad, brought more laughter. We listened
intently to the heartbreaking news the doctor
shared with us and then he asked us, “Do you
have any questions?” My mom leans forward
and says, “Do you think we‟ll have any berries
this year?” The shocked look on the doctor‟s
face was priceless but it broke the tension and
mom was once again making sure her family
had something to laugh about.
Mom, as she is called by all our family, is our
inspiration. She gives us the ability to see the
rainbow through the rain, the sun through the
clouds and the strength through the pain. She
has been a friend to everyone and a helping
hand to those who have needed it and I hope
that you feel as blessed as we „do‟ to have her
in our lives.

International Women’s Day
In Celebration of women
in our community we had
an even at the Villa on
March 8, 2012 from 6-
9pm. This event was
hosted by Deborah Laliberte, Phyllis Frazer,
Yvonne Roy, Angie Mihalicz, Sandra Pelletier
and Charmaine Durocher. We had a total of
31 people participate in our event, including
hosts. There was one submission for women
who made an impact in my life which was
read to the group. This story was so touching,
how one person with her positive outlook on
her disease is making the best out of life and
living everyday optimistically. Phyllis also
shared her story about her mother that is an
inspiration to all that were all present at the
event. The night consisted of hand massage/
positive affirmations hosted by Phyllis Frazer,
relaxation techniques - Deborah Laliberte,
Facial and Hand (Mary Kay) -Sandra
Pelletier, Reiki - Yvonne Roy, Angie
Mihalicz, and assistance Linda Campbell and
make-over's - Charmaine Durocher and the
Valley View School handed out dry meat
presented by Arlene Hansen. The evening was
a night of fun and socializing. We are looking
at hosting Women‟s Wellness once a month or
every second month, so if there is anything
you would like to see, feel free to give myself
a call at 288-4807 or Yvonne Roy at 288-
4045. Thank you to all who donated to this
event, KYRHA, CAPC/Headstart, KRN,

Colon cancer - Colorectal cancer; Cancer - colon; Rectal cancer; Cancer - rectum; Adenocarcinoma -
colon; Colon - adenocarcinoma - Last reviewed: February 7, 2012.
Colon, or colorectal, cancer is cancer that starts in the
large intestine (colon) or the rectum (end of the
colon).
Other types of cancer can affect the colon, such as
lymphoma, carcinoid tumors, melanoma, and
sarcomas. These are rare. In this article, use of the
term "colon cancer" refers to colon carcinoma only.
Causes, incidence, and risk factors According to the American Cancer Society, colorectal
cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related
deaths in the United States. However, early diagnosis
can often lead to a complete cure.
Almost all colon cancer starts in glands in the lining
of the colon and rectum. When doctors talk about
colorectal cancer, this is usually what they are talking
about.
There is no single cause of colon cancer. Nearly all
colon cancers begin as noncancerous (benign) polyps,
which slowly develop into cancer.
You have a higher risk for colon cancer if you:
Are older than 60
Are African American of eastern European
descent
Eat a diet high in red or processed meats
Have cancer elsewhere in the body
Have colorectal polyps
Have inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's
disease or ulcerative colitis)
Have a family history of colon cancer
Have a personal history of breast cancer
Certain genetic syndromes also increase the risk of
developing colon cancer. Two of the most common
are: Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP)
Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer
(HNPCC), also known as Lynch syndrome
What you eat may play a role in your risk of colon
cancer. Colon cancer may be associated with a high-
fat, low-fiber diet and red meat. However, some
studies have found that the risk does not drop if you
switch to a high-fiber diet, so this link is not yet clear.
Smoking cigarettes and drinking alcohol are other risk
factors for colorectal cancer.
Symptoms Many cases of colon cancer have no symptoms. The
following symptoms, however, may indicate colon
cancer:
Abdominal pain and tenderness in the lower
abdomen
Blood in the stool
Diarrhea, constipation, or other change in bowel
habits
Narrow stools
Weight loss with no known reason
Signs and tests With proper screening, colon cancer can be
detected before symptoms develop, when it is most
curable.
Your doctor will perform a physical exam and
press on your belly area. The physical exam rarely
shows any problems, although the doctor may feel
a lump (mass) in the abdomen. A rectal exam may
reveal a mass in patients with rectal cancer, but not
colon cancer.
A fecal occult blood test (FOBT) may detect small
amounts of blood in the stool, which could suggest
colon cancer. However, this test is often negative
in patients with colon cancer. For this reason, a
FOBT must be done along with colonoscopy or
sigmoidoscopy. It is also important to note that a
positive FOBT doesn't necessarily mean you have
cancer.
Imaging tests to screen for and potentially diagnose
colorectal cancer include:
Colonoscopy
Sigmoidoscopy
Note: Only colonoscopy can see the entire colon, and
this is the best screening test for colon cancer.
Blood tests that may be done include:
Complete blood count (CBC) to check for anemia
Liver function tests
If your doctor learns that you do have colorectal
CIPI Newsletter – March 16th, 2012
cancer, more tests will be done to see if the cancer has
spread. This is called staging. CT or MRI scans of the
abdomen, pelvic area, chest, or brain may be used to
stage the cancer. Sometimes, PET scans are also used.
Stages of colon cancer are:
Stage 0: Very early cancer on the innermost layer of
the intestine
Stage I: Cancer is in the inner layers of the colon
Stage II: Cancer has spread through the muscle wall
of the colon
Stage III: Cancer has spread to the lymph nodes
Stage IV: Cancer has spread to other organs
Blood tests to detect tumor markers, including
carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and CA 19-9, may
help your physician follow you during and after
treatment.
Treatment
Treatment depends on many things, including the stage
of the cancer. In general, treatments may include:
Surgery (most often a colectomy) to remove cancer
cells
Chemotherapy to kill cancer cells
Radiation therapy to destroy cancerous tissue
SURGERY Stage 0 colon cancer may be treated by removing the
cancer cells, often during a colonoscopy. For stages I,
II, and III cancer, more extensive surgery is needed to
remove the part of the colon that is cancerous. (See:
Colon resection)
CHEMOTHERAPY Almost all patients with stage III colon cancer should
receive chemotherapy after surgery for approximately 6
- 8 months. This is called adjuvant chemotherapy. The
chemotherapy drug 5-fluorouracil has been shown to
increase the chance of a cure in certain patients.
Chemotherapy is also used to improve symptoms and
prolong survival in patients with stage IV colon cancer.
Irinotecan, oxaliplatin, capecitabine, and 5-fluorouracil
are the three most commonly used drugs.
Monoclonal antibodies, including cetuximab (Erbitux),
panitumumab (Vectibix), bevacizumab (Avastin), and
other drugs have been used alone or in combination
with chemotherapy.
You may receive just one type, or a combination of
these drugs. There is some debate as to whether
patients with stage II colon cancer should receive
chemotherapy after surgery. You should discuss this
with your oncologist.
RADIATION Although radiation therapy is occasionally used in
patients with colon cancer, it is usually used in
combination with chemotherapy for patients with stage
III rectal cancer.
For patients with stage IV disease that has spread to the
liver, various treatments directed specifically at the
liver can be used. This may include:
Burning the cancer (ablation)
Delivering chemotherapy or radiation directly into
the liver
Freezing the cancer (cryotherapy)
Surgery
Support Groups
For additional resources and information, see:
Colon cancer support groups.
Expectations (prognosis)
Colon cancer is, in many cases, a treatable disease if it
is caught early.
How well you do depends on many things, especially
the stage of the cancer. In general, when treated at an
early stage, many patients survive at least 5 years after
their diagnosis. (This is called the 5-year survival rate.)
If the colon cancer does not come back (recur) within 5
years, it is considered cured. Stage I, II, and III cancers
are considered potentially curable. In most cases, stage
IV cancer is not considered curable, although there are
exceptions.
Complications Blockage of the colon
Cancer returning in the colon
Cancer spreading to other organs or tissues
(metastasis)
Development of a second primary colorectal cancer
Calling your health care provider
Call your health care provider if you have:
Black, tar-like stools
Blood during a bowel movement
Change in bowel habits
Unexplained weight loss

You may receive just one type, or a combination of
these drugs. There is some debate as to whether
patients with stage II colon cancer should receive
chemotherapy after surgery. You should discuss this
with your oncologist.
RADIATION Although radiation therapy is occasionally used in
patients with colon cancer, it is usually used in
combination with chemotherapy for patients with stage
III rectal cancer.
For patients with stage IV disease that has spread to the
liver, various treatments directed specifically at the
liver can be used. This may include:
Burning the cancer (ablation)
Delivering chemotherapy or radiation directly into
the liver
Freezing the cancer (cryotherapy)
Surgery
Support Groups
For additional resources and information, see:
Colon cancer support groups.
Expectations (prognosis)
Colon cancer is, in many cases, a treatable disease if it
is caught early.
How well you do depends on many things, especially
the stage of the cancer. In general, when treated at an
early stage, many patients survive at least 5 years after
their diagnosis. (This is called the 5-year survival rate.)
If the colon cancer does not come back (recur) within 5
years, it is considered cured. Stage I, II, and III cancers
are considered potentially curable. In most cases, stage
IV cancer is not considered curable, although there are
exceptions.
Complications Blockage of the colon
Cancer returning in the colon
Cancer spreading to other organs or tissues
(metastasis)
Development of a second primary colorectal cancer
Calling your health care provider

The Woman That Has Most Inspired Me…submitted by Velma J. Roy The woman that has most inspired our
family is our Daughter, Mother, Sister,
Auntie, Kokum, Chapan and Godmother,
Claire Roy
Even though she has been through her own
rough times, she has been the lifeline, the
center and the calming ground in our family.
She‟s always put other‟s feelings before her
own and always found a way to make laughter
out of any situation.
When our dad, George Roy, passed away even
though the pain was great for her, she never
let it get in the way of taking care of her
family. She kept us all together when we felt
like falling apart. We felt her pain like it was
our own when her Daddy, Ralph Laliberte
passed away. We held her while she cried then
as always her inner strength came through and
she once again squared her shoulders and
helped her family adjust to life without our
Mooshum and her Daddy.
Mom helped in many community functions
either by cooking, filleting fish or wherever/
whenever a volunteer was needed. There are
many stories told about hearing mom‟s
laughter ringing through the crowds as she
had a knack for saying the silliest things. She
had many quick comebacks or one-liners that
would bring shocked looks from people and
then outbursts of laughter.
There have been many family functions or
community meals where Mom Claire has been
the cook. She has taught her daughters some
of her cooking secrets but we have yet to get a
recipe… you cannot measure 3 handfuls of
this with a little bit of this and that!
Mom was diagnosed with lung cancer and to
anyone else faced with this news; it would have
brought tears and depression for sure, but not
Claire Roy! She looks at us and says “I don‟t
wanna lose my hair!” Our visits to the
Chemotherapy and Radiation doctors, although
sad, brought more laughter. We listened
intently to the heartbreaking news the doctor
shared with us and then he asked us, “Do you
have any questions?” My mom leans forward
and says, “Do you think we‟ll have any berries
this year?” The shocked look on the doctor‟s
face was priceless but it broke the tension and
mom was once again making sure her family
had something to laugh about.
Mom, as she is called by all our family, is our
inspiration. She gives us the ability to see the
rainbow through the rain, the sun through the
clouds and the strength through the pain. She
has been a friend to everyone and a helping
hand to those who have needed it and I hope
that you feel as blessed as we „do‟ to have her
in our lives.

International Women’s Day
In Celebration of women
in our community we had
an even at the Villa on
March 8, 2012 from 6-
9pm. This event was
hosted by Deborah Laliberte, Phyllis Frazer,
Yvonne Roy, Angie Mihalicz, Sandra Pelletier
and Charmaine Durocher. We had a total of
31 people participate in our event, including
hosts. There was one submission for women
who made an impact in my life which was
read to the group. This story was so touching,
how one person with her positive outlook on
her disease is making the best out of life and
living everyday optimistically. Phyllis also
shared her story about her mother that is an
inspiration to all that were all present at the
event. The night consisted of hand massage/
positive affirmations hosted by Phyllis Frazer,
relaxation techniques - Deborah Laliberte,
Facial and Hand (Mary Kay) -Sandra
Pelletier, Reiki - Yvonne Roy, Angie
Mihalicz, and assistance Linda Campbell and
make-over's - Charmaine Durocher and the
Valley View School handed out dry meat
presented by Arlene Hansen. The evening was
a night of fun and socializing. We are looking
at hosting Women‟s Wellness once a month or
every second month, so if there is anything
you would like to see, feel free to give myself
a call at 288-4807 or Yvonne Roy at 288-
4045. Thank you to all who donated to this
event, KYRHA, CAPC/Headstart, KRN,

ST MARY MAGDALENE PARISH Sunday March 18, 2012
Fourth Sunday of Lent Year B
Gospel John 3:14-21
Jesus said to Nicodemus:
„And just as Moses lifted up the serpent
in the wilderness, so must the Son of
Man be lifted up, 15that whoever
believes in him may have eternal life.
16For God so loved the world that he
gave his only Son, so that everyone who
believes in him may not perish but may
have eternal life. 17Indeed, God did not
send the Son into the world to condemn
the world, but in order that the world
might be saved through him. 18Those
who believe in him are not condemned;
but those who do not believe are
condemned already, because they have
not believed in the name of the only Son
of God. 19And this is the judgment, that
the light has come into the world, and
people loved darkness rather than light
because their deeds were evil. 20For all
who do evil hate the light and do not
come to the light, so that their deeds may
not be exposed. 21But those who do what
is true come to the light, so that it may be
clearly seen that their deeds have been
done in God.‟
Thoughts on the Gospel
„During the first three weeks of Lent we
considered various aspects of our
covenant relationship with God and the
privileges and responsibilities that flow
from it. Today we turn our gaze on God‟s
covenant relationship with us, and we are
astounded at what we perceive. Despite our
infidelity, God remains faithful to us;
despite the steps we take toward our own
destruction, God continues to offer us a
second chance at life. Such is the “depth
and breadth and height” of God‟s love.
„However—and it is a significant
however—God does not force anything
upon us. We are free to choose. We can
accept God‟s loving gestures, or we can
refuse them. We see this in today‟s
readings. Before the Israelites could return
to the land, they had to return to God. In
the Gospel account, Nicodemus was told
that people can choose to believe or not
believe in Christ; they can prefer darkness
to the light. There has always been a
choice. Today the choice is ours to make.
Will we make it?
„Confident of God‟s merciful love, we are
able to repent, return to God and start
anew. Like the people of ancient Israel, we
can indeed rebuild our broken lives and our
disgraced church. We can create a world
based on cooperation rather than
competition, on respect rather than
discrimination. God‟s love has been
offered; the choice is ours.‟
