A Christmas Message from National President Anne-Marie Gorman And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in bands of cloth, and laid him in a mang...er, because there was no place for them in the inn Then an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, ‘Do not be afraid; for seeI am bringing you good news of great joy for all the people: to you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is the Messiah, the Lord. This will be a sign for you: you will find a child lying in a manger.’ And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praying God and saying, ‘Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace among those whom he favours!’ But Mary treasured all these words and pondered them in her heart (Lk. 2:7-19). May all the joy promised in the coming of Jesus be realized this Christmas and every Christmas as He comes into the world again and again. May the peace of Christ rest on each of you during this most beautiful season and may God bless you with many graces. Anne

Today is the 11th day of the 11th month is Remembrance Day. The website for Veterans Affairs Canada states, Every year on November 11, Canadians pause for a si...lent moment of remembrance for the men and women who have served, and continue to serve our country during times of war, conflict, and peace. We honour those who fought for Canada in the First World War (1914-1918), the Second World War (1939-1945), and the Korean War (1950-1953), as well as those who have served since then. More than 2.3 million Canadians have served our country in this way and more than 118,000 have died. They gave their lives and their futures so that we may live in peace. I ask that you include a petition in the Prayer of the Faithful to honour Remembordaanycoed aDyay See more
