Happy Feast Day of St. Joseph!

This Friday, March 19, is the Solemnity of Saint Joseph, our Archdiocesan patron. During the year of St Joseph, we invite all parishioners to pray the prayer which Pope Francis published in his Apostolic Letter, Patris corde. Prayers cards are being prepared and will be distributed to all in due course. In addition, this Friday marks the beginning of the year dedicated to the Family and Amoris Laetitia. The Archbishop will celebrate the Solemnity of St Joseph at St Peter’s Parish. The Liturgy will be live-streamed through the parish Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/stpeterrcchurch.ca.

"As we pray for the unity of Christians this year, we celebrate the theme given to us from the ecumenical monastic community of Grandchamp in Switzerland, Abide in my love and you shall bear much fruit (cf. John 15:1-17)." Thank you to Fr. Robert and his team at St. John XXIII Roman Catholic Church for hosting this event this evening! https://www.youtube.com/watch
