During his recent visit to Notre-Dame d’Afrique Mission, Montreal’s Archbishop Christian Lépine encouraged the faithful not to be disheartened by their weaknesses or past failures.

On Sunday, January 25, during a special ecumenical celebration marking the 1,700th anniversary of the Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed, Archbishop Christian Lépine reflected on the meaning of authentic Christian unity and the central place of the Cross in the life of believers.

As the Congregation of the Priestly Fraternity (CFS) marks the 125th anniversary of its founding, the Archdiocese invites the faithful to rediscover the rich history, enduring presence in Quebec, and present-day mission of this community.

Ahead of the Feast of St. Joseph, patron of a happy death, Archbishop Christian Lépine invites the faithful to a special Mass to pray, through St. Joseph’s intercession, for the grace of a happy, peaceful death, whenever that time may come for ourselves and our loved ones.

An invitation to walk, pray, and renew our mission — together with Archbishop Christian Lépine

Those who accompany others in faith know how essential it is, from time to time, to pause… to step away, to listen again to the Lord, and to allow Him to renew our hearts.
