On the Feast of Our Lady of Lourdes, tomorrow February 11, here is the thirteenth pastoral letter of the Archbishop of Montreal, Most Reverend Christian Lépine.

Beginning March 2, 2021, the Office for Evangelization and Catechesis (English Sector) of the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops (CCCB) will offer a four-part webinar series entitled Nurturing Friendship, the Directory for Catechesis in Dialogue with the Encyclical Letter Fratelli Tutti, and invites individuals those who are in charge of evangelization and catechesis, including clergy, consecrated persons, laity involved in ministry, directors and coordinators of evangelization and catechesis, and Catholic educators to participate.

Even during a time of social isolation because of the Coronavirus pandemic, the Sunday liturgy continues to offer nourishment for prayer and reflection during the whole week – whether we are meditating on the readings, or participating in a television broadcast of the Mass and making a spiritual Communion.

In this cold season, those who are homeless are particularly vulnerable, above all in the context of the pandemic, with health regulations severely limiting the capacity of shelters. The Notre-Dame-des-Neiges parish social pastoral team, along with other community organizations in the neighbourhood, has had both hands in the ‘‘sludge’’ since it opened the Côte-des-Neiges Warming Centre in December.

Letter of support and announcements for World Day of the Sick and for the month of February 2021.
