Bishop LeGatt: The Lord Reaches Into our Suffering and Brings Us Up

Truly, the pandemic has impacted all of our lives, in many different ways. After a year since the start of more intensive public health measures, many are feeling like they’ve hit a wall, and are having trouble finding #hope. In this week’s message, Archbishop Albert takes a moment to speak to those who may be particularly suffering from the effects of #depression, #anxiety, or other mental health difficulties. Truly, our Christ is walking with you. Our Christ who gave the ultimate sacrifice on the cross joins your suffering, and loves you infinitely more than you know. May his light continue to fill the darkness in our world, and continue to fill your heart with hope, even amid darkness.

Bishop LeGatt: The Archdiocese's Continued Response to Public Health Measures

As the realities surrounding the pandemic continue to evolve, and as we respond to this ever-changing situation, the Archdiocese remains in constant contact with the provincial government and public health authorities to determine the best course of action, day by day.
In this week’s message, Archbishop Albert shares about how the Archdiocese continues to collaborate with authorities, ensuring to always maintain the most possible in terms of services and worship, while also maintaining the safest and healthiest possible environment for the entire community, especially the more vulnerable. This is a delicate balance, in which we collaborate also with all the faithful of the archdiocese, to continually respond in the best way, with Christ at the center of our ongoing response. As we continue our Lenten journey, let us pray for our world, and also for the authorities who are charged with assessing and responding to this evolving situation.

Bishop LeGatt: Lent, A Time to Die to Oneself

This week, we are once again embarking in the holy season of Lent: a season of prayer, fasting and almsgiving, as we prepare our hearts to celebrate the Paschal mysteries. But this year, we have lived an entire year of the sacrifice and fasting of Lent, and we have given up a lot more than just sweets or things of the like. As we continue in fraternal charity and love to respect sanitation requirements, let us continue to die to ourselves, and in doing so, resemble our Christ on the cross more and more, who freely gave his life for us.

Bishop LeGatt - Ordinary Time: Far from Ordinary!

We are now in Ordinary time, according to the liturgical calendar. But this period of time - the longest period of the liturgical year, stretching for a total of 32 Sundays - is far from ordinary or boring: rather, it is ordained. This is time to bring Christ into our everyday lives, into our everyday joys and toils, for us to daily come to know Christ, to be with Him, and He with us. With Him, through this pandemic, not only will we get through it, but we will bring the Truth of what we live, as Christians, into the world: not only in the hilltop moments that punctuate our lives (as the liturgical calendar), but in the beauty of everyday life.
