Speaking to pilgrims gathered in St. Peter’s Square for the Sunday Angelus, Pope Francis explained how the Word of God shows us the path to live fruitfully the 40 days of Lent we have just embarked upon.

No gatherings were possible this year; no participation in the usual Eucharistic celebration; no conversations over little sandwiches...the pandemic made us celebrate this Day in a different manner, and we met the challenge!

Archbishop Christian Lépine encourages all parishes, missions and the faithful of the diocese to participate in the Development and Peace – Caritas Canada Share Lent campaign.

Two new documentaries are now available to inspire Canadians, part of global movement to hasten Blessed Michael McGivney’s elevation to sainthood.

In his message for Lent 2021, Pope Francis calls on the faithful to “renew our faith, draw from the living waters of hope, and receive with open hearts the love of God.”
