Bishop LeGatt: A New Normal

This week, Archbishop Albert is proposing a pot-pourri of reflexions, of sorts. Although the new normal is quite different. It remains important however, while vigilantly respecting all health directives, to remember normal, every-day things. Life goes on! Issues, such as the question of medical assistance in dying - euthanasia - continue to develop, and it continues to be important for us, Christians, to be heard on the political arena.

Archbishop Albert also takes a moment to look ahead at the upcoming Solemnity of All Saints, this Sunday. This solemnity is the flip side of Easter: we too, humans, in our every day lives, may hope to share in Christ’s eternal life!

Please don’t forget to joins us this Sunday for the installation as an acolyte of Serge Buissé, one of the many steps towards his ordination to the priesthood for our diocese! Join us Sunday at 10 AM, at the YouTube page for the parish of Sts-Martyrs-Canadiens here: https://bit.ly/3e5GXA7

Fratelli Tutti: on Fraternity and Social Friendship

Pope Francis is certainly not short on words! He is very expressive, and his message of inclusion and of limitless charity speaks quite strongly to our world today. In his message this week, Archbishop Albert shares about the latest encyclical from Pope Francis, named Fratelli Tutti: on Fraternity and Social Friendship. Thus, Archbishop Albert invites you to join him in reading this important document. The ideas and the message contained in this encyclical are quite important for us to reflect on, especially in the current climate of pandemic. Let us allow ourselves to be inspired, and to meditate on the Holy Father’s words, so as to come to a better and deeper understanding of what it means, for us, as Christians, to pursue our journey in love and social amity.
