Masses of reconciliation and healing at Saint Anne’s Church with the Esgenoôpetitj First Nation and at Saint Joachim’s Church with the Natoaganeg First Nation, on the feast day for Saints Anne and Joachim. The Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary was celebrated in the Saint John Paul II Parish with their annual outdoor Mass and potluck along with a visit from Bishop Riesbeck, CC. A Mass will commemorate the completion of a beautification project for the Saint Francis Xavier Cemetery. And, Canadian Catholic Campus Ministry continues to help students pursue Truth with Charity and clarity, and to make a difference in their dioceses.
While this new Motu Proprio further regulates the use of the Missal of 1962, it acknowledges the exclusive competency of the diocesan Bishop to “authorize the use of the 1962 Roman Missal in his diocese according to the guidelines of the Apostolic See” (Art. 2). Out of pastoral concern and care for the faithful who benefit spiritually from participating in the Mass using the Missal of 1962, Bishop Riesbeck outlines how its use will continue in the diocese.
