November 13 edition of The New Freeman

During the first days of November, Bishop Christian Riesbeck, CC, of the Diocese of Saint John, celebrated two very special memorial masses. The first, held on the Feast of All Souls, was a Requiem Mass for the victims of COVID-19. And the second, held on November 3, was a Mass of Remembrance for the Loss of Life to Miscarriage and Stillbirth. Prayer has the power to take all those things in life that seem like a condemnation and turn them into something good, Pope Francis said. There is more to standing up for religious freedom than just making a statement of support once a year on International Religious Freedom Day, the head of a Canadian-based religious freedom organization says.
