NOVEMBER 9, 2003

Focus: Today we celebrate unity with worldwide Catholics under the symbol of the cathedral of the Holy Father in Rome.

As Christians, we honour and respect sacred spaces such as churches, temples, synagogues, and mosques. At the same time we realize that God is not confined to these holy places. God is present within us wherever we show love and respect for the Body of Christ, especially among the poor and the needy throughout the world.

Remembrance Day
Canadians pause today in silence to remember those who died in war and to pray for the victims of aggression and inhumanity throughout the world. This is a day to pray for peace, to consider what we are doing as individuals, as a community and as a nation to bring God's peace to the world. This is a day when the believing community should rededicate itself by prayer and action to the ideals Jesus gives us in the beatitudes. We give thanks to God for all who serve our country and promote world peace. May the continued work of the Legion remind us of how blest we are to live in such a generous and bountiful land called Canada. Please join us for the memorial service as we remember: 10:00a.m. Church service at St. Michael's Parish Church with a Service at the Memorial Site, following Church.
