Memories of Martin
On the night of June 20th, 2001, 41 year old Father Martin Royackers was
gunned down outside the door of his parish church in Annotto Bay Jamaica.
His murder, which followed a death threat just weeks earlier, has never
been solved. On Friday evening, March 25th, Good Friday, on Vision TV,
they will present a one-hour documentary on the life of an extraordinary
Canadian priest, Father Martin Royackers, S.J. who was murdered in his
rectory on Annotto Bay, Jamaica. "Memories of Martin" will
replace the Annual Catholic Mission which will return in 2006.
Reflections - on VisionTV
On Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Holy Saturday mornings, in the same time
slot as the daily televised Mass, Father Pat Fitzpatrick, C.S.Sp
Provincial of the Spiritans, will offer his reflections on the meaning of
these feasts and their relevance to our lives.

The motion picture THERESE, based on the true story of Saint Therese of
Lisieux will be opening at the Empire Cinemas in Mount Pearl Square on

Lisieux, exemplifying the basic characteristics of Faith, Humility, Hope,
Confidence, Compassion, awareness of sin and the power of Prayer.
