The Catholic Church of Montreal will launch its 2021 Annual Campaign "On a mission: Growing. Stronger. Together." – including, this year for the first time, digital platforms.

Here is the fourteenth pastoral letter of the Archbishop of Montreal, Most Reverend Christian Lépine.

In the past seven weeks in Quebec, seven women were killed by spouses or partners, bringing the province’s total number of femicides to 14 since the beginning of the pandemic. Even one victim is too many.

In order to allow everyone to participate in the Holy Week celebrations presided by Archbishop Lépine from Montreal’s Mary Queen of the World Cathedral they will be broadcast on the diocesan YouTube channel and via Salt + Light Television. Below we are providing the full schedule.

Archbishop Christian Lépine of Montreal is grateful that government leaders and public-health officials recognize that care of the soul is as essential for every human person as is care of the body in their decision to allow, as of tomorrow, up to 250 people in places of worship.
