February 5 edition of The New Freeman

Pope Francis announced the establishment of a World Day of Grandparents and the Elderly as a reminder of the important role they play as a link between generations. The first celebration of this day will be July 25. Religious education must focus on leading people to a personal relationship with Christ and building a community of believers where the talents of each person are valued and where all go out to share the Gospel and serve the poor, Pope Francis said. Students of St. Pius X High School in Ottawa were treated to a very special virtual guest speaker on January 22 — alumni Bishop Christian Riesbeck, CC of the Diocese of Saint John.
