Easter
Thank you for joining us for a beautiful Easter Triduum. It was a delight to worship the resurrection of our Lord together.
Divine Mercy Sunday at St. Finnan’s Basilica
St. Finnan’s Basilica will be celebrating the Feast of God’s Mercy April 24th from 2:00pm to 4:00pm. Please join our North Glengarry Parishes on Divine Mercy Sunday for Praise and Worship with Adoration, Benediction, Confessions, Divine Mercy Chaplet and Hymns. All are welcome! This celebration will also be live-streamed.
First Communicants
Please pray for our 31 First Communicants on this holy and joyous occasion as they receive Jesus in the Eucharist (Holy Communion) for the first time. As we welcome these children to the Lord’s table and into our Eucharistic community this weekend and two following weekends, please continue to keep them in your prayers.
Updated Livestream Schedule
Beginning this week, our livestream schedule will be changing. We will no longer be streaming weekday Mass. We will continue streaming the 11:00 am Sunday Mass at St. Finnan’s Basilica.
When the pandemic began, live streaming masses was essential. With churches being closed to the public, this was a necessary and important ministry. We wanted to be able to gather and worship together! We wanted all to be able to participate in Mass during those times when restrictions inhibited us from gathering in person.
With the lifting of restrictions, and the allowance/ability to attend Mass in person, we have decided to stop live streaming weekday masses. We will continue streaming Sunday Mass and will also be streaming special occasions.
We are grateful to all our volunteers who have made this ministry a success.
