** During the coming week I am taking a few days holiday. I will be
available for the weekend masses and any funerals. It is very difficult to
get a priest to provide ministry for the weekend and therefore I will return
for weekend masses. Since I did not have any holidays this year, I will take
some time during the next two weeks . In the event of any emergency, I will
be available.**

Did you know?...
That work has started on lighting the exterior of the Basilica this summer.
Sometime in early to mid August, the Basilica will grace the night skyline
of St. John’s on a permanent basis. Many of you will remember that the
Basilica’s facade was temporarily lighted during the 150th anniversary
celebrations last fall. At that time, there were calls to put this lighting
in place on a permanent basis. The restoration committee was able to make
this happen as a result of a generous donation from a benefactor. Completion
of this project is due in early to mid August. Please watch for further
updates or check the Archdiocese website for more details on this exciting
project.
Canada Day
July 1 is celebrated as Canada’s birthday. Canadians should seek to be
witnesses to Christ in Canada and the world, and to continue working to
influence those in government to act from Christian principles and
attitudes.
Christians, realizing they do not have a listing home here, should pray and
work for justice and peace in Canada and throughout the world, so that all
God’s people may share in the goods of this earth. God’s kingdom will come
only when all people are ready to let Christ’s teaching guide and rule their
lives and actions.
Prayers for Various Needs
