What’s Happening?
You’re right, our next issue is supposed to be next week, but we thought we’d put some things on your radar before then
No Daily Mass Aug. 25th – Aug. 28th
There will be no daily Mass next week because the Companions will be having their community days in Ottawa. If you would still like to attend daily Mass, Saint Benedict Parish has Mass at 12:15 pm Monday-Friday.
Explore Pope Leo’s XIV’s First Encyclical with us this Fall!
Pope Leo XIV recently published his first encyclical, a primary teaching document for the Church, calling it Magnifica Humanitas, or ‘Humanity in its Grandeur’. In this encyclical, the Holy Father calls all the faithful to a deeper understanding of what it means to be human in the digital age and of the challenges modern technologies pose to the magnificence God created in each of us. Over 5 evenings this Fall, we’ll be reading and unpacking this important teaching document of the Church in a simple, straightforward way to better understand the Holy Father’s message.
